Is there no end to Johnson's high self regard and vanity?

Just read that Boris Johnson has just announced he will be running for the post of Secretary General of NATO. I wonder who he will ask to provide a reference, given that he has been sacked from every job he has ever had, for lying.

Pigs might fly.

Oh so that's what all this travelling and posturing has been about... what a complete nightmare he is...

Clearly he needs a nice little job. Prelate maybe?
The Archbishop of Canterbury should be very worried as he is in a post with a nice tied house which would suit a young family ( just saying)

He has been in Stoke on Trent today with his friend known as Gormless Gullis!

You just can't stop , can you?

No HE can't!

He disgusts me. Too busy making extra cash for himself whilst drawing his salary as an MP but not doing his actual job. Self serving lying shallow man.

Fleurpepper Fri 24-Feb-23 19:43:51

and to think we are payin his massive legal bill re the illegal parties, makes me want to throw up, and worse if I ever met him.

Well, he does look more like a startled llama than a disappointed ice cream eazybee. If ever there was a case of pot, kettle, black this is it.

The short answer to this question is "NO"

ronib Fri 24-Feb-23 21:02:14

Can’t imagine NATO is that stupid

varian Fri 24-Feb-23 21:05:27

I never thought that the Tory party was that stupid or the electorate was that stupid in 2019.

How wrong was I?

HousePlantQueen Fri 24-Feb-23 22:43:21

I would hope that his friendship with an ex KGB agent and the fact that while Foreign Secretary, some papers were kept from him for security reasons would immediately disqualify this grifting liar from consideration.

Oh for goodness sake, he’s gone, get over it. Concentrate on what’s important, the Ukrainian war, the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, what you’re having for dinner, anything but Johnson.

It is important that we don't have an egotistical liar as Secretary General of NATO.

We do not vote for our Prime Minister, we vote for individual MPs and those who support our political principles.

The only people who voted for Boris Johnson were his constituents - and that I do find beyond explanation - .

Remember that millions of Labour supporters loathed Jeremy Corbyn, just as fierecely as people loath Jonson, but still voted Labour in the general election.

He was a laughing stock in much of Europe in his last months. NO!

I would welcome Boris back as PM in a heartbeat. But then some of us are not leftie zombies, can think for ourselves and don't get brainwashed by the press as readily as those of you who were jibby jabbed and fell for the daily drip of anti-Boris stories. Boris at least tried to stand up against the enemies of this country.

Define a Lefty Zombie GrammyGrammy. Is it somebody who holds a different political viewpoint to your own or somebody who didn’t fall for the proven lies of Boris Johnson? Clue - they aren’t the same thing.

Still waiting for the 40 new hospitals. Some doctors would help too. Oh wait 5000 new doctors a year or something like that promised? Nurses?

Boris clearly not into details or delivery. Not fit for public office.

Jibby jabbed? Is that you Boris?
Are you saying that the members of his own government who resigned because they could no longer support him are leftie zombies?

Lovetopaint037 Sat 25-Feb-23 09:43:14

Considering he has messed up everything and whoever he has been involved with it’s a terrifying thought of him anywhere near Nato. He just gets worse.
