Boris Johnson - a warning from history

For those who are unhappy about the potential return of Boris Trumpty why not email your MP.
They are receiving a lot of mail on the subject and will let them know not everyone sees this possible return as a good thing. Au contrair mon ami!
Very easy to find email addresses online.

Seriously, if I was a lot younger I would leave this country and start again elsewhere. It would be easy if Brexit hadn’t happened, but…

Seems quite a few here, and most of our friends, saying the same.

So, linking to another thread- can you imagine making the decision to return, and then confronted with this! No? Me neither!

Fellow economy passengers were positioning themselves for selfies.
I think this kind of suggests that Boris does have charisma, or some sort of quality that appeals. Not sure why.

Boom boom!

Children are not accepted in first class.

That BA route (Dom Rep to Heathrow) doesn’t have a First Class section, it does however have a Business Class with flat beds.

Children are definitely accepted and welcomed in that section.

Slightly at a tangent, did you hear that Kwasi Kwarteng flew back from the U.S. first class?
Apparently they didn't want him near Business or (the) Economy"

It is going to be bad enough with Sunak who is loathed by a large amount of Tory MPs.
I think that is the overall problem. None of them actually like each other.

According to Sky News:
‘Business and premium were not full, and he'd have known he'd be snapped. Fellow economy passengers were positioning themselves for selfies.’

All part of his man of the people act

Some will be taken in by it, I will not.

*Maw*, I too posted on GN my belief that this whole dreadful fiasco has been manipulated, and that Johnson would return like a knight on a white charger to ‘save the country’. I too have read and heard people calling ‘bring Boris back’ and have found it difficult to comprehend their thinking. Like gas-lighted victims of psychological abuse, it’s as if they are somehow drawn back to their abuser. Moths to a flame. On reading that there is even the slightest possibility of Johnson returning, I too have never felt so depressed about our country. I echo what you say Maw, do not be fooled by this evil man - please!

Hear hear.

I’ll remember that and avoid business class next time I fly BA to DR.

Ha Ha see you in First, sorry we will probably have a GC with us, bring earplugs

Sorry you are totally incorrect on this.

Children are allowed in First Class on the majority if airlines including BA.

They even havd a useful guide as to what seats are adaptable for child seats and cots.

I am as sure as I can be (so not very?) that Johnson won’t get the leadership.

If he does there will be absolute chaos in the Tory party.

Maw, I was thinking about your post yesterday with all the clamour for BoJo to come back. I thought it was a conspiracy theory too far because I couldn't believe anybody in Government would be quite so stupid. They are and we're doomed.

It’s like an abused wife taking back her abusive ex - they believe him when he says he’ll change … ( we know he won’t)

If Johnson is found guilty of misleading parliament, doesn’t he lose his seat?

There is a photo of Mr.Johnson on a BA flight, economy class with his wife and children flying back from Dom Rep last night.

Apparently there were some boos

Wouldn’t like to do that length of flight in economy, let alone with two young children.

Goodness, GG13. Did you realise what that would sound like?

Lots of people have to do that flight in economy because they can't afford anything else. It must be lovely to be able to do it in business class and pity the poor souls in economy...

Galaxy

I was talking about the families I work with casdon, whose lives are so difficult that getting children to school is often an impossibility, let alone having the time or space to be engaged politically.

I’m guessing the people you work with are unlikely to vote at all Galaxy? The majority of the population do have time and space in their lives though, particularly as they get older, but they are (I accept MaizieD’s word change) uninterested in politics, and their beliefs get more fixed and less questioning as they age. I don’t think that they have no moral compass, cloth ears though perhaps.

Plenty of people do, and longer eg my family from Sydney.
My heart doesn’t bleed for Johnson .

I was always a supporter of democracy but after seeing how dumb and easily led the electorate is I now have my doubts.

Poor Carrie. It must have been awful for her….you’d think the airline would have upgraded them considering they were travelling back because of a matter of national importance.

I'm not sure about 'disinterested' in politics, Casdon, as 'disinterested' means you have nothing to gain or lose from politics, which is patently untrue as everyone gains or loses from political actions.

Whereas 'uninterested' would fit the bill perfectly.
However, even the apparently uninterested usually have an opinion to express, which must be based on something. Are we to believe that most voters are oblivious to Johnson's 'shortcomings' so can be forgiven for having no moral compass?
