Boris Johnson’s appalling language and slur.

Zoe65

It’s horrifying that people want starmer as their pm quite frankly .
You were happy enough when boris bit you your vaccine first tho wernt you !
As for angels common as muck Rayner ,I just switch her off .

Zoe65 Why is it horrifying that people want Starmer as PM?

Not sure I even understand your comment about Boris, but I have never been happy about anything to do with Boris Johnson. Again an explaanation would help.

As for your comments about Angela Rayner, dergatory and snobbish and just show you up rather than her.

By the way i do not want Starmer as PM. i don't want Sunak, or any other Conservative as PM either.

Not quite sure what point you are making, Zoe - what are you saying that BJ did for me?
I don't think " common as muck" is the most considered view of a politician, but I do feel some sympathy with prejudices, as I think that we need a change from entitled, unempathic public school boys ( and I use the word " boys" deliberately)

Not by me. Take it up with the poster who changed the subject - but made a valid point.

I would call it a conflict of interests.

Of course you would

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

Selective memories.

The conflict of interest idea could be applied in so many ways

But again, that’s not what the thread is about. The thread is about Johnson’s use of the words he chose.

Johnson is so awful and only interested in himself. Thank goodness he has gone. How he gets people to follow him I will never know. Has the charisma of a lettuce too.

I was thinking of what memories of BJ endure. To summarise it, its that he was, primarily, a narcissist and a Bullingdon boy.

Not just Party gate brought him down, but the Chris Pincher affair, and the Owen Paterson row. (He backed his pals despite increasing concern by other MP's)

He called it a witch hunt.

The charisma factor completely passed me by and it wasn't his politics.

I would call it a conflict of interests.

Indeed Casdon. It's an "oh! a squirrel" to take the eyes off the headline, which was, as the O/P suggested, borderline anti semitic.

Well said Wyllow

It’s offensive to suggest Starmer isn’t capable of separating his love of his family from his political decisions of Israel-Palestine.

It’s just not relevant to the thread even if it were a valid point.

It’s a valid point.

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

Why have you completely changed the subject?

Carrie Johnson was a victim of John Worboys

I wasn’t aware of this but, if it is the case, it then my sympathy goes out to her.

Perhaps even more reason for her husband to refrain from writing an article with a lewd, overtly sexual headline.

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.

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.

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... 🤔

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

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

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.
