Compilation of excuses from Johnson’s Damage Limitation Squad:

>Boris Johnson became the first sitting prime minister to be criminally sanctioned when he was fined for breaking his own Covid laws by attending a party for his birthday in No 10. While the development prompted renewed calls for his resignation, loyal ministers and Downing Street sources have reached for some creative and elaborate defences of his law breaking. …
I sadly feel that nothing’s going to come of it. The public have reached a fatigue point in terms of being outraged. We’re just not surprised anymore
If it came out that they passed a pig round those nighttime work parties I wouldn’t even blink at this point.
We’re heading towards WW3 , poverty and labour want to get their grubby little hands on the wheel so they can put the final nail in Britain.
To be fair none of the alternatives are any better
…..the distinguished constitutional sage Peter Hennessy – not exactly given to intemperate public statements – declared of Johnson’s failure to resign for breaking the actual law: “I think we’re in the most severe constitutional crisis involving a prime minister that I can remember.”
Those who could make a difference: “Nah, he’s such a laugh though, inni?”
Its not just Johnson. They are all corrupt, they have no loyalty to this country or its people whatsoever. I would say there are a only a few backbenchers on either aisle I have any respect for and maybe they are only allowed to behave as they do precisely because they are backbenchers.
They appear to have sent Tom Hunt to represent them on politics live, a man who comes across so unlikeable and out of touch they clearly don’t give a toss about opinion.
It angers me how this government radicalises me. I don’t want to feel extreme measures are necessary but after 12 years of corrupt self serving malicious rulers who have only gotten worse with time it truly feels like short of disgusting measures we won’t rid the country of this cancer.
What I hate more is that while I know I wouldn’t ever consider doing such things, there’s people out there who may well become radicalised enough by this government to actually get violent. The current situation may well leave people with such uncomfortable living situations that they have nothing to lose and that they choose extremism.
I want justice but the longer these people rape the country it is only a matter of time until there’s people wanting blood. I do not want our system to fall apart that way.
Not joking, half expecting them to “delay” the next elections and declare Boris PM for 50 years
They, the tories, all knew that. It is not a problem for them. Boris can kill kittens live on tic toc and no one will bat an eyelid. Even house prices can fall, nothing will change,except for the worst.
One of her better articles, fuelled by legitimate outrage.
I remember a Tamogotchi used to have the decency to die if you left it wallowing in its own shit.
I will repeat, they are all terrible and not fit for purpose. Labour or conservative
>The Bollocksseum
That’s about right.MPs during the debate calling Johnson “dishonest” , “a liar” or someone who “deliberately misleads the House” is forbidden.
An alleged 21st Century Parliament stuck in the 19th Century.
Why do they protect him? What dirt does he have on other Tory members? Is he a grand wizard or Master Mason? They’ve turned the gaslighting up to 11.
This piece, like a fair amount in *The Guardian*, is sub-Crace. John Crace is *The Grauniad*’s (*sic*) parliamentary sketch writer. His writing is meant to be as much humour as serious reporting or serious opinion. The current piece, by Hyde, tries to be more serious than that, but, lacking the acerbity of (only recent?) Crace, the result is semi-humorous shallowness. Or so it seems to me.
Just get more pooper scoopers.
Loads of broken, poor, people these days.

They don’t need to clean it up, they just need to level the top off to provide a platform for an ever decreasing government, they’ll make it look good on the surface and go on to win a few more elections while adding to the shit that forms the foundation of the government.

Yeah, at this stage we need a Parliament-sized bin to put the whole place into
They’re above the law and can do anything they want. Who’s going to stop them?
Johnson and the entirety of his cabinet.
It takes a team of incredibly dedicated morons all working in unison to fuck it all up so consistently and spectacularly.
