Resignation speech

Goodness me Susie3042 you’ve really shown your true colours there. I hope nobody reports your post so everybody can see your view.

I shall miss him , hope he can push forward with shipping these illegal immigrants bleeding our country dry, 5 million a day would be better spent on people who have paid into our country and could do with our help, instead of arriving and have it all laid out on a plate

Revolting sentiments. I know who I'd choose to stay in this country if it was a choice between someone needing shelter and help or you.

Susie3042- disgusting post
It’s also bigoted and inaccurate

Susie3042 what a nasty view you have posted .

Would suggest Gransnetters watch Question Time on BBC 1 last night, to get a really accurate description of Johnson from one who has known him for many years, Alistair Campbell.
Alistair was brilliant in it and I wanted to hear more from him, although understand that Fiona Bruce needed to give everyone a fair hearing. Johnson needs to go right now and I agree with the person who said Theresa May would be a good person to care-take whilst they choose a new leader. It is dangerous for him to be present whilst they choose. He also shouldn't be taking anymore decisions, he has done enough damage to our beautiful country already and is the very worse prime minister we have ever had the misfortune to have. Alistair Campbell made a very good point that it is often our media that presents as newspapers for the working people, but the only one we can really trust to tell the truth is The Guardian. We need to wake up to this, otherwise it's going to happen all over again.

Message deleted by Gransnet. Here's a link to our Talk guidelines.

A self congratulatory and self serving 'resignation' speech with no reference to the real reason he got removed. Just another lie really, are we surprised? Such a waste of opportunity and a charismatic persona.

Johnson says he ^was elected with the biggest majority since 1987 and the biggest share of the vote since 1979. He is proud of what he has done, he says. He mentions Brexit and getting the country through the pandemic and delivering the fastest vaccine rollout in Europe. And Britian has led the way in supporting Ukraine, he says^

Yes because people were desperate to keep Corbyn out of No.10!

Well, he read it out well.

No bumbling and erring.

Sounded very confident.

(His insides must have been like jelly).

I think his insides were more a seething mass of bile and bitterness.

DillytheGardener you may be the poorest judge of character in the country!

No, sorry Farnorth, I can't agree with the Downing Street cat as the next PM. He hasn't done his job properly either - he has not rid No 10 of the rats infesting it!

It's only going to be another tory PM, not Starmer.
Don't panic.

Only the names have changed.

Well I for one am sorry to see Boris go, or should I say was forced out, and as someone said earlier "better the devil you know". Quite agree with you Dillonsgranma about Starmer and his deputy, she is known as "gobby" in our house, perish the thought of those two ever being in charge.

I don't understand why they don't expel Mr Johnson from the Conservative party given the Supreme Court's judgement that proroguing parliament was unlawful; he was fined for breaking his own Covid laws; he was planning the breach terms of the Brexit deal relating to Northern Ireland etc etc. Others have been expelled for less: Brexit showdown: Who were Tory rebels who defied Boris Johnson?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49563357

Why is a mummy stroking her baby's head nauseous? That's a bit of a mean comment.

It’s not a bit mean, it’s it’s absolutely horrible. On a site for grandmas too!

Completely narcissistic and shameless! Thank God he is going. The worst PM we have ever had and not to be compared with Blair (whose majorities were substantial even after Iraq) or his Tory predecessors.

Well I’d much rather have Boris than Keir starmer ! And that awful woman who is his deputy. She is so awful it’s almost unbelievable!

Did anyone hear the word 'resign'. Did anyone hear any indication of humility whatsoever, or any indication of his understanding why he's now in this position?
Only he could continue to big himself up in such a statement. Delusional to the bitter end!

Typical Johnson waffle. I doubt the man knows he has done wrong.

Actually, Oldnproud, Donald Trump would ( and did) do much the same, and I suspect if Putin lives to be superseded he will too.

Sorry to upset any Johnson fans here, I thought his speech was totally self serving, no humility, no apology and no actual mention of the word resign. Thought it summed up our self serving, lying and nauseating PM and he should go now, let his deputy step in until the leadership contest is complete.

I agree, nasty and uncalled for.

Chope and Bone - or Crabbe and Goyle. Is there a difference?

Christopher Chope?

Was it Chope or Bone? ( I get them mixed up: they both talk rubbish and remind me of characters out of Gormenghast).
