There doesn’t seem to be a day that goes by without some awful news about how our ‘leader’ behaved badly, or stupidly.
He’ll always choose whatever he thinks will get him the most popular votes – someone will have advised him that the majority of British people would rather save a cute puppy than an Afghan translator. He couldn’t give a flying fuck about either.
> Committee hears from second whistleblower that civil servants may have ‘intentionally lied’
> Josie Stewart, who worked in the Foreign Office for seven years, including a stint in the Kabul embassy, suggested senior civil servants in the department had lied to cover up the embarrassing episode.
> She told parliament’s foreign affairs select affairs committee that the direction from the prime minister was evidenced in multiple messages on Teams, on emails, and in conversations around the crisis centre, which was set up to try to help the tens of thousands of desperate Afghans trying to flee.
> Johnson has denied that he had anything to do with the decision for the animal charity, Nowzad, to be allowed to evacuate staff and animals through Kabul airport.
> But mounting evidence has suggested the prime minister did indeed give a direct order for Nowzad to be prioritised, while many others – including Afghans who helped the British government – were left behind.
> “It was widespread ‘knowledge’ in the FCDO crisis centre that the decision on Nowzad’s Afghan staff came from the prime minister,” Stewart said in newly released testimony to the foreign affairs committee.
> “I saw messages to this effect on Microsoft Teams, I heard it discussed in the crisis centre including by senior civil servants, and I was copied on numerous emails which clearly suggested this and which no one, including Nigel Casey [the government’s special representative on Afghanistan and Pakistan] acting as ‘Crisis Gold’, challenged.”
> Stewart admitted she realised by coming forward she was likely to lose her job and that she would be devastated to leave the Foreign Office.
> But she said: “I feel a strong sense of moral injury for having been part of something so badly managed, and so focused on managing reputational risk and political fallout rather than the actual crisis and associated human tragedy.”
To which Boris will say “it’s all nonsense” and “lies” and the right wing media will mainly ignore this and not a single fucking thing will happen as Boris and lying are so fucking normal that people are sick of hearing about his “yet another lie that nothing happens about”.
It’s Boris’s way to deal with everything… keep on lying and creating so many constant fuck-ups that it’s impossible for anyone to keep up with them all, all helped by certain tory loving media.
So he lied to–sorry “inadvertently misled”– parliament?
Should step down for this alone, not to mention multiple other things he has done.
The problem isn’t so much he intervened here, but the fact that he has again lied about what he did.
There is very little I know believe from this man as he has been proved to be a serial liar.
Was it battersea dogs home? He was just confused about which Afghans needed saving
How much influence did Carrie have in the decision? It was great PR for Johnson, at least to those who considered the dogs more important than people. There have been rumours since it occurred that she was the guiding hand behind this decision, if this is the case then it shows how easily Johnson can be swayed and how happily he will let others make decisions for him. Both of those are poor qualities in a PM, especially one at a time of major domestic and international crises.
Of course he did his overlord Carrie told him Cats and Dogs first fuck children and women.
Of course he did, he said he didn’t, therefore everyone knew he did

1. We knew this was true. The fact he denied it shouldn’t have convinced anyone. Stop pretending anything he says even might be true. FFS.
2. Politically it was the right decision, Brits would have lost their shit about a bunch of “puppies” being “left to the Taliban”. Brits don’t actually give a shit about humans.
