“I think he's out for as much as he can get”

That applies to almost all ex polititians of any party

I am really sick of the sins of the few being visited on the decent caring people who go into politics to try and do some good for the country.

Johnson is doubly culpable, not only for being a vile and despicable self server, but also for reinforcing this stupid belief in the minds of many of the electorate.

Love uk but getting more rattled by how daft weve become. Much too. soft on things. Public being taken advantage of on so many levels. If some if these politicians got out amongst the people the could find out just what our grievances are.

Appropriate that this thread came just below one called "Who do we hate this week?" on Active when I looked at it. No contest, I would think! grin

Are there no limits to the greed of Boris Johnson? Of course there aren't. He is a boor and a glutton, for money, for food (from the look of him) and even marriage doesn't seem to curb his appetite for women.

No he has no moral code and it seems many Tories don't either.

Oh I get it HousePlantQueen, it's frustrating as bit after bit gets revealed. (My do you need to? ..... looks abrupt, I didn't mean it to flowers ) Thanks for bringing this to my attention and for the link although I'm not sure my blood pressure would thank you........

You are right Rosie51, I really don't need to ask the question, but just sometimes, as I watch lie after lie come out of Downing Street, listen to them trying to convince everyone that the fault lies with striking miners/desperate migrants on dinghies, just sometimes, the sheer brass neck of Johnson and Sunak who presumably is signing this off...well, it just takes my breath away. For anyone who is concerned about paying to defend this man, it is costing in the region of £130k+ and rising. www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/dec/13/ministers-accused-of-writing-blank-cheque-for-boris-johnson-legal-bills

Simple answer ‘none’.

No, I don't think he does. I think he's out for as much as he can get from anywhere he can get it. Blood money if necessary.

HPQ Do you really have to ask the question? I'd have thought he's demonstrated often enough there are no depths to which he will not sink. I didn't know we were paying his legal fees, and I'm disgusted that this is possible.

I can just about believe that there are people rich/stupid enough to pay huge amounts of money to listen to the Liar in Chief expound his theories on whatever, I am not surprised at all that he doesn't think he needs to actually represent his constituents but is entitled to be on holiday at someone else's expense or being paid in excess of £200k+ per appearance in USA or wherever, but I draw the line at the news that we, as taxpayers, are reportedly paying the legal fees for his defence against charges of Misconduct in Public Office. Has he no moral code at all?
