For those of you who think Angela Rayner is common and not a lady, how about this from Boris Johnson.

As well as the racist connotations of the name change (and don’t forget Mrs. Starmer is Jewish), I find the rest of the words quoted by the mail in their headline quite offensive.

Boris Johnson always reminds me of a slug.

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.

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...

ruthiek Tue 11-Jun-24 15:35:56

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

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

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.

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

Babamaman Tue 11-Jun-24 15:08:49

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

Bramblewitch Tue 11-Jun-24 14:20:31

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

Maremia Tue 11-Jun-24 14:09:21

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

Casdon Tue 11-Jun-24 13:39:14

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.

nanna8 Tue 11-Jun-24 13:16:49

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

Huge echoing silence from his defenders, I note.

I’m not aware of any Johnson apologists here.

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

www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jan/05/john-worboys-women-serial-sex-attacker-released

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.

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?

undines Tue 11-Jun-24 12:03:00

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...

Ailidh Tue 11-Jun-24 11:47:50

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. 🤮

Oreo Tue 11-Jun-24 11:35:09

Cossy

I care not for anything Johnson says or does. He’s reverting to his pre politics journalistic days where he slated people of different ethnicities on several occasion. He’s an odious, arrogant twit and the thought that some of the electorate actually want him back as PM is frankly horrifying!

Very true!

PamQS Tue 11-Jun-24 11:30:01

That sounds quite likely, the Tories seem to think we’ll put up with any old Prime Minister they care to foist on us!

He isn’t necessarily done yet though.

Gauke theory is

Tories loose massively Patel gets leadership and brings in Johnson and Farage.

Crikey, the clash of the egos! Actually, my money would be on Patel of the three, I think she is more devious than the other two, and less likely to let a motormouth spoil her chances.

Thank you Whitewavemark2
It never ceases to amaze me that people repeat nonsense about Starmer being responsible for Saville and Warboys

Dinahmo Sun 09-Jun-24 20:16:29

Just seen the above Willow3 Thank you for that. I'd no idea that he was still working as a sort of journo. It's appalling and I just don't understand how anyone can still admire/support him.
