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.

I expect that grammygrammy would also welcome Trump back as president.

Both are completely self serving and lacking in ethics and decency...

There will be no border down the Irish Sea. There will be no nuclear war. Just saying.

What a good Christian life has lives and has lived- a great example for those who believe 'Christian' values are the only way to live a good life.

Or it has just occurred to me *GrammyGrammy^ do you just mean the media that does not agree with your views? tut, tut, arrogance.

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.

By all means, be a right wing supporter. I'm not but I understand others don't share my belief systems. But if you prefer Boris over Rishi, it's clearly nothing to do with his ability as a politician, statemanship or ability and more to do with the colour of his skin.

GrammyGrammy What hidden unknown source of information do you have access to? Surely all our information about anything comes from the media in one form or another whether paperss, tv, online, books and journal articles?

Honesty?
Trustworthiness?
Reliability?

Wow!

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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

M0nica Sat 25-Feb-23 08:31:20

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

Can’t imagine NATO is that stupid

The short answer to this question is "NO"

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.

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.
