Rewriting history to suit his own racist agenda and playing to his English voter base who think they're being invaded by foreigners. Nasty piece of shit with a clown mask on. 6 hours ago, karbatal said: I wish cancel culture existed. I wish these racists were cancelled. Sadly they are always rich and powerful no matter what they say He is extra terrifying because people just see him as a clown but his words are chilling, false and so damaging.

I watched an Australian documentary on Boris before he become PM. His callousness and manipulative nature was drilled home in detail by those who had worked with him and there was a lot of criticism too of how the media excused him. All mentioned that he was cunning in how he presented himself. He truly is like Teflon in how the dumb bumbling idiot act seems to be liked in spite of the indisputable evidence of how heartless and inept he is.

pithy Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Eurgh. It's a sad day when you have to hope they're overzealous Wallace and Gromit loons awed by his "interesting" physiognomy rather than informed voters fully aware and indeed supportive of the vile policies at his crux, which is of course much more likely. No upside from me. No ancient wisdom to impart. Just more of the same old wistful, fatigued confusion. Frustrating. @Jazzy Jan, remember that programme's title? I've had high opinions of Aussie documentaries before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't give him long. Several reports in the press of the Tories concerned about him and the mail is very critical of him too now. Gove has gone quiet so wouldn't surprise me if there's a leadership challenge shortly. And yes, we all know he's a laughing stock as we think the same!

When the same questions was asked of Conservative members in August, Ms Truss was second with just 12 per cent, compared to Mr Sunak on 31 per cent.

A survey by Oddschecker found the Chancellor has a 32 per cent chance of being the next Tory leader, compared to Ms Truss on 17 per cent Ms Truss, who has taken over Brexit negotiations after Lord Frost’s resignation, has a strong base within the parliamentary party and among Tory members. She has also made a name for herself with her libertarian, anti-lockdown views. Her supporters have even established a WhatsApp group called "Liz for Leader", which is expected to form the basis of her campaign team when Boris Johnson either stands down or is challenged for the party leadership. {"default":{"load":"default","w":"80","h":"65","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAOuoKb.img?h=646&w=799&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f"},"size3column":{"load":"default","w":"62","h":"50","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAOuoKb.img?h=505&w=624&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f"},"size2column":{"load":"default","w":"62","h":"50","src":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAOuoKb.img?h=505&w=624&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f"}}© Provided by The Telegraph Profile Liz Truss Mr Johnson has faced considerable criticism in recent weeks over the Government's response to the coronavirus crisis, a looming cost of living crisis, and a cacophony of sleaze and incompetence allegations levelled at the Prime Minister and his Number 10 operation.
