So has Johnson's latest attempt at gaslighting, convinced you?

Totally agree Grandmabatty. Personal remarks are distasteful whether the gransnet member has posted or not.

Amended post

I believe he is scamming over £200K of tax payers money to defend the partygate scandal, including the alleged lies told to parliament and which continue allegedly to be told.

It is now being questioned by those in control of MPs expenses.

BJ was given a fixed penalty fine and does not have a criminal record. Please keep to the facts. What you believe is your opinion which you are entitled to hold, but it is not a fact.

Oh sorry, I’ll amend that post forthwith🙂

Useful idiot = dangerous idiot which is what I said.

No, he is a very dangerous idiot, putting us all at huge risk. Not gullible at all.

I did say useful idiot

I was trying to be a bit fair when I said gullible!

volver hasn’t been commenting on Gransnet for quite a few days I don’t think Anniel, so my guess is that she hasn’t seen the recent threads. I haven’t noticed the other Scottish commenters, but don’t tend to follow them as much as I’m in Wales so I know little about Scottish politics.

Oh - maybe Scotland has seceded? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

maddyone, so, why was Johnson given a fine, if he has done no wrong? He was given a fine, now that's a fact.

Just be thankful, we're not married to the man..if I had the energy I'd do a bedroom spoof.

I’m actually not convinced that he is lying about Putin threatening him. Johnson is a liar, and so is Putin - who knows what games they are playing. I doubt either of them is capable of a straightforward answer even if just asked what they ate for dinner last night.

I totally agree with this ^. I always thought all that blustering and stuttering was "thinking time" for his next lie

Johnson does not represent the UK government and Sunak should tell him to pipe down or lose the whip. His recent antics remind me of Pelosi visiting Taiwan which was unhelpful to US foreign policy management.

That twitter post disgusted me. What utter narcissistic twaddle and look at his gesture.
Meanwhile our defense minister does the actual beavering away.

No, he is a very dangerous idiot, putting us all at huge risk. Not gullible at all.

At best he's a gullible idiot.
At worst, well, a useful idiot for those who mean us harm.

but the recent stooshie in Scotland

Stooshie - a great word Annie1!
You live and learn on GN

I wouldn't believe anything he says.

Sadly, it seems many people still do.

Mr Johnson has been busy telling the USA why they should support Ukraine. Has the PM given him a special job as Minister for the Bleeding Obvious?

Casdon there is some Labour bashing but the recent stooshie in Scotland on the gender recognition legislation has not been mentioned by Volver and other SNP supporters. I wonder why?

bashing

Starmer bashing is almost as prevalent as Boris bashin.

Anniel

Do Labour and SNP supporters ever criticise their own parties? Boris Johnson is not the only politician who makes people angry? I am completely disgusted with Labour politicians who heckled Rosie Duffield for her stand on supporting women and our rights. Then there is the complete silence from Scottish members here who wade into any argument about the Conservatives but act as though Nicola Sturgeon’s government was not in deep trouble with voters over the Gender Recognition legislation. She was completely flummoxed over a man claiming to be a woman who was to be placed in a women’s prison despite the fact that he was a rapist.

Now where is Volver and her supporters over this mess in Scotland? I was looking forward to a thread on this subject, I did start a thread but there was no interest. Now if that thread had been about the Tories we would have had loads of posts. The Tories have little or no chance of being re elected and change in Government is needed. I will be happy for Labour to win because I think they deserve to be in government. So how do Scots feel about their politicians?

You can’t read the political threads at all often if you don’t think there’s criticism from Labour supporters about the party Anniel, it’s a constant theme - Starmer bashing is almost as prevalent as Boris bashing!
