BoJo banished - Liz Truss down. Is Rishi next for the toaster? **threadbans in OP**

Science checks out.

Read the quote again, then look up pejorative in your dictionary. Then, get an adult to explain it to you, maybe Mum when you leave the basement tonight?

Does Godwin have any stats on people who use the term 'buttthurt' outside of the US?

Also, it's just been revealed that you, personally it seems, came up with the term 'woke'. Fair play.

Who calls themselves woke?

Anyone here describe themselves as woke?

Also, what's any of this got to do with the thread? Aren't there loads of culture wars threads?

Leftists created that word unironically back in 2015 or some time around then. I think it might have been the women's march loons or something. There was all sorts of merch made "I'm woke" etc.

Now that people make fun of the pink haired lot about being 'woke', they're now claiming it's a pejorative.

So apart from events and how he handled them. Apart from that Johnson could have been a good PM?

The reality is he has been a terrible PM. Signed a deal that he himself accepts is terrible, agreed to split the UK trading block, which he said no PM could do, lied to the Queen, broke the lW,nord to parliament, one of the highest covid death rates in the world, billions wasted on track n trace, massive unchecked contracts given to Tory donors, 500 seat losses in local elections, massive inflation, rising interest rates, massive cost of living crisis.

But yeah, apart from that he has been great.

Americans on the left created that term and Americans on the right turned it into an insult. Sadly too many people are obsessed with American politics around here.

It's a horse sht term that should never be used in Ireland

As soon as he's gone, the Tories will distance themselves from him and everything stood for in a way we haven't seen with the likes of Cameron and May. We'll hear a lot about 'getting back to basics', 'values' and 'common sense conservativism' things which Johnson is not but he is a good salesman. If he wasn't born wealthy he would have made a good second hand car salesman.

James O'Brien talks about 'contempt for the conmen, compassion for the conned' regarding Brexit. As much as I don't like the DUP, I think it's apt for them. They voted against May's Brexit deal which didn't have a sea border, and helped topple her even though she actually believed in the UK. And they believed Johnson when he promised he'd be their bessie mate and he agreed a Brexit deal which had a sea border and cut them off from Britain.

May was on their side but was a poor salesman. Johnson was not on their side but is an excellent salesman. When he's gone the Tories will have to have a bit of a reckoning and acknowledge that he was a dreadful leader.

And here you are going on and on about it. Plus butthurt. Are you American?

First photos from Boris' not a party has leaked, 18th Nov 2020 when they had just gone into the strictest lockdown

Been holding on to them for juuuuust the right amount of time to inflict more damage.

Yeah I think this is what they're banking on.

I said at the start that I thought it was like a leaky bucket. If the whole story came out at once, it would have overflowed and he'd be gone. But dripping the story a bit at a time has let the anger leak away.

I think it's more about the cost of living now. Covid isn't an issue at the moment and it hasn't been as issue for months. Maybe something will emerge in the report that hasn't been expected, but I doubt it. I thought he'd weather it, then I thought it might be to much for him to survive, but I'm back to thinking it'll be fine. He'll get through it with brute ignorance and 'what about beergate' for a coupe of days. Half apologise in the HOC and then go on the offensive about the cost of living.

It’s just so embarrassing that he’s Prime Minister of the UK. The extent to which the electorate over there are willing to deny reality is incredible. I know for sure we have our own litany of very bad problems, but I honestly do not think Micheal Martin could behave the way Johnson has done and still be in post. They’re being taken for absolute fools by the cabinet and the media.
