Boris Johnson’s appalling language and slur.

I had to Google "ball-chewing gimp". I'm appalled! Not at the practice, chacun à son goût, but that he should have written in such vulgar terms and that a newspaper had printed it. 🤮

The only reason this is worthy of comment is because it emphasises even more clearly the need for the electorate to be more discriminating and say a clear NO to lying, abusive, entitled, narcissistic thugs who, by virtue of their privilege and psychopathology get themselves into positions of power. Be very careful...

He is a disgusting man and one wonders how his wife can put up with him.
It reminds me of Mrs Merton (Caroline O’Hearne) asking Debbie ? And what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?

Huge echoing silence from his defenders, I note.

Fame and popularity are not the same thing!

The bad blood between Boris Johnson and kier Starmer is personal.
Carrie Johnson was a victim of John Worboys.

What had that to do with Starmer?

Nothing

After Worboys had been jailed, evidence of further offences came to light but the CPS, of whom Starmer was the head, decided it would not be in the public interest to try Worboys for them.b if he had been tried and convicted he could still be in prison. If you are in charge of an organisation, you are where the buck stops.

I’m not aware of any Johnson apologists here.

I can’t believe anyone much listens to this self serving, adulterous, congenital liar nowadays. 🙄

I haven’t come across anyone who supports/ supported Johnson on here,either Germanshepherdsmum Probably just wanting to pick a fight with herself.

There are a lot of people on Gransnet who have professed their wish for him to return quite recently, but I think the majority of them are now on the Farage bus.

I remember the comments on here, 'Give him a chance. He is doing his best.' Pity I can't remember who posted them.

Yes that is quite offensive. But it demonstrates what a clownish nature he has and what an untouchable privileged upbringing does for you

Boris Johnson is a disgrace to our country and the school of Eton ! If this is what is taught there! A total disgrace and so sad many voters want him back! Shameful despicable person whose father lives in France! So that family thought Brexit was good enough for us but not them! Please please never ever give any in that family a knighthood - I despair

Totally agree with you - a sad state of affairs - words fail me

Well many on GN obviously. I had heard nothing of this until I read of it on here!!
No apolgists for him that I've seen.

Peston is well known for his hatred of Boris Johnson and known to twist things against him. Apparantly Boris used to have a relationship with Pestons partner!, can’t trust the media , especially ITV. totally biased against conservatives , I wish I could find a news outlet that is unbiased so I can make my own mind up

Well ruthie, you can rely on Alexander Boris Johnson to give anyone plenty of material to " twist" can't you? A relationship with someone else's partner? Surely not...

He’s a buffoon and a compulsive liar. I don’t care much for political views or debate on online forums like GN, but this man and his cronies should be kept out of politics for life. He’s a disgrace.

Boris Johnson always reminds me of a slug.

I don't undertand how he seems to be getting away with a blatantly antisemitic slur (Schnorrer). If anybody else did that, people would be up in arms.

You can Google the headline yourself and read what he wrote.

She doesn't even have to google it. There is a picture of the article which was posted earlier on this thread.

I'm not sure how the Mail, which pays Johnson to write his drivel for them, could be accused of being a biased news outlet... 🤔

If Mrs Starmer is Jewish, is that the reason it took so long for Mr Starmer to criticise Israel for the persecution of civilians?

You have to wonder. But then again, it seems to take him a long time to make his mind up about a lot of things.

As someone part Jewish, I think we should be careful not to join the actions of Israel with Jewish people in general.

Many don’t support what Israel are doing.
