50 shades of shame

Are we only allowed one?

I couldn't possibly pick any one in particular, he has been shameful all his adult life.

I’m not complaining - but Gransnet is fast becoming a James O’Brien fan fest!
(I must admit that I’m a little bit territorial about him for various reasons)

It depends how far back you want to go.

As a school boy his headmaster wrote a scathing letter, damning his attitude and it was all down hill from there.

Johnson hardly has a single redeeming feature.

What I do hope is that the voter has learned a hard lesson and that they will be very careful over who they vote for in future, by ignoring the media (look at the DM today!) and thinking hard about the character and policies, making their own well thought out conclusions.

No more populism!!

There are so many you tend to forget some of them, even the really bad ones.

But, but... he got all the big calls right

Some would say that it goes back to his anti European propaganda and lies at The Telegraph ; when he fanned the flames of Euroscepticism.
And then taking that particular ball and running with it.

The prorogation of parliament without consulting the Queen in the very early days of his premiership.
It sent the message that he thought he could do whatever he wanted and walk rough-shod over absolutely anyone.

If I can have a second choice, bizarrely because I can't stand the man - it would have to be his treatment of Michael Gove this week. Gove has been loyal to BJ throughout and has stoutly defended him. He finally went to tell him it was time to go and was sacked and verbally abused. It showed BJ's dictatorship rather than any sense of democracy in a stark light.

My choice would be him saying that investigations into historic child abuse was spaffing money up the wall.

The biggest horror for me is the way he has lied and lied and got away with serious misdemeanours for so long.

I think there have been a lot of dictator like things happening that we haven’t heard about which is why the 1922 committee have been so desperate to get rid of him. I very much doubt if he has consulted with his ministers and has consistently come up with vanity projects that were unviable. I just hope that he still has to appear in front of all of the enquiries that we’re still waiting for. Maybe the worst thing he has done is con people in the north into believing that he really did want to level up the country and wasn’t just after their vote. We said after the ruling about the unlawful proroguing of parliament that he was finished. How he was allowed to continue after that is beyond me. I actually feel as if I’m waking up from a bad dream.

Like others, there are so, so many I could mention; the one that really stands out for me is his handling of the Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe case.

Those of us who knew Johnson from his early days in journalism have long know he is an inveterate liar, a serial philanderer and a bully. I was horrified by his election as PM and could not comprehend how anybody could want such a person in charge of their country.
