Time to put the champers on ice?

It’s possible Johnson feels stressed as a result of the self inflicted prolonged stress he’s been living with. I’ve seen nothing that suggests he has a treatable m.h,problem.
He’s a selfish, flippant, narcissistic attention seeker. He seems always to have believed he’s special, should be viewed and treated as the special one.
His ‘resignation’ speech just confirmed no change thrre

Johnson is driven by his ego. He is allegedly staying on because voters in England gave him a mandate. Who knows,perhaps he would pay attention to letters of disproval from erstwhile voters because he seems to think that his parliamentary colleagues are just being churlish.

Quite so.

To imply that he's suffering some sort of mental illness is wrong IMO, and insults quite a few people who have mental health problems.

He's certainly a narcissist, but that's a different kettle of fish. I'm sure he knows 'deep down' that he's fighting a losing battle, but being driven by his ego, refuses to accept the fact.

I think he’s been deluding himself imagining he’s President, similar to USA.
I think the country and Tory party is in a poor state and his legacy will be felt for years to come.

Champagne should be drunk this evening .

People with mental illness are not unhinged or , stark,staring mad and are not removed by men in white coats.

Putting it down to mental health problems is letting the buffoon off the hook - he's perfectly sane.

But he's untrustworthy, lazy, incompetent, self-centred, a waster of an 80-seat majority, a liar, and totally unsuitable to be PM.

Commenting on Boris mental health is one thing, dragging familial mental fragility into the argument is a whole other thing in my opinion.

We’re well into the 21st century and should be beyond that by now.

He’s stark, staring mad. You’ve only got to look at his face recently.
I know that it’s distasteful to mention, but there is a family history of mental instability.

My own family history shows the same "instability" - as probably do a few other's families...

... but I wouldn't like to be judged on that basis and so as a matter of principle, won't judge Johnson either on that basis, much as I detest the man.

Johnson is as Johnson does. He is not responsible for the 'sins' of his fathers He didn't choose his parents, nor the rest of the clan.

It is all over the Media that Johnson is acting as if unhinged. Why shouldn't anyone endorse this on GN? It has a ring of truth.
The situation in Government is becoming frightening. If he doesn't go to-day he should be removed by the men in white coats.

lam64 " Good to see your posts are still here FannyC. Johnson hasn’t looked or sounded well for some time. "

I suffer from mental health problems myself Kandinsky.
Would you like me to provide details?
Anyway, don’t worry about it.
I’m used to being reported ?‍♀️

Fanny I’m sorry but I’ve also reported your post too.
You must know being a regular poster that many g’netters suffer with their mental health - it’s really distasteful to bring up someone’s health to attack them.
Calling someone ‘a snitch’ for reporting your post is also beyond the pale.

Good to see your posts are still here FannyC. Johnson hasn’t looked or sounded well for some time. Watching his performance before the committee yesterday was excruciating.

I didn’t see his comments during the questions on Pincher as reflecting stress or mh problems though. He couldn’t dodge, lie, avoid answering questions as he does in media interviews or PMQs. He occasionally said what he believes. Blaming others for not stopping Pincher drink too much said so much about him.

I am not an arbiter of good taste espee but I would never bring anybody’s familial mental fragility into my argument - beyond the pale IMO.

If you disagree, that’s fine, but name calling is another no no for me too. It is possible to dislike the deed without resorting to that.

No Boris fan here! I suspect that Pincher was the bloke who caught Carrie giving BJ a bj, hence he retained his job. I bet Carries family are really proud of her track record too, what a legacy "I gave the PM BJ a bj" ?????

No. It was Sir Gavin Williamson, according to most

Just seen that. Me neither espee

I think you might be right Chewbacca
