[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

[KZNSeagull]

If you want to hear some utter loons defending Boris then the Nikki Campbell phone-in between 9 and 9.30 was entertaining. It is a remainer witch-hunt to get rid of Boris but Lee Anderson will be the next leader and he will sort everything out apparently.

We could do with 'Right behind Boris' @Mouldy Boots on here to explain why the former PM is the victim of a witch hunt.......

When I saw that first I genuinely thought it was the headline…… from just a swift glance.

Is there still a working ducking stool anywhere within easy striking distance of Westminster. They were used in witch trials.

If Boris is sanctioned by the Committee, and it appears that is almost inevitable, it will then be down to the Tory MPs to decide his punishment. (Labour MPs will want the most telling punishment but the Tories still have such a huge majority in the Commons).

Isn't it likely that the Tories will vote with Boris as they will not want him to be standing in a by-election (which would almost certainly happen if he got suspended for more than 10 days).

Of course, most people will be asking how the f*ck the Tories haven't kicked him out of the party already.

The Johnson cabal supporters are still here, even if those particular accounts aren't.

Just look out for the "They're all the same", "Why isn't Starmer doing more", "I don't support this Government, but" posts from the more recent NSC joiners

Like Thierry Henri's hand ball goal in the qualifiers, all everyone will remember is that France went on to win the tournament.

I had actually completely forgotten the latter bit - whereas I can still picture that handball.

It will be an interesting question for Sunak if it goes to the vote. Does he back the man mainly responsible for his meteoric rise in Politics and back the lies or does he abandon him and take what could possibly be a massive hit on the by-election result.

Johnson has always been a walking shit spreader, the question for Sunak is will he spread more crap inside the tent or outside. What a conundrum

This is absolutely true IRL too. I remember the day after Cameron won his first (coalition) victory, I walked into a pub I’d been frequenting for years, and very much liked. Sitting at a table near the bar was someone dressed as an honest to god 1980s yuppie. Curtains hairstyle, braying voice, lots of talk about how much money he was going to make.

They hide under rocks during Labour governments, but they don’t have any self-realisation or grow any form of social conscience, they just seethe in their own resentment until the asset strippers are back in charge and they can go on enriching themselves at the expense of making the world for most of us slightly worse.

I think he's fed up with the constant whining of we remainer Trained Marxists, constantly sniping at the man who saved us from Covid and talking this great country down.

no, i said, in what way should clampy be censured for the ditch ploughing comment?

It's irrelevant really as the moderator isn't moderate - he or she is an active participant in this left wing agitator's thread.

He's very popular with a certain type who are quite happy to accept that this old Etonian, Oxbridge graduate and Telegraph feature writer is a "man of the people".

Look at his cheeky face! Look at him barging that Japanese child out of the way! Ho, ho, ho. He's been on HIGNFY! I bet he'd be fun to have a pint with. Him and Nige, what a night out that would be. No wokeness there. You could spend the whole night getting smashed, trash talking immigrants and pinching the barmaid's bum just like the old days and then do a runner when the tab was due. What larks! And he got Brexit done. Without that, do you know where you'd be? Hosting a swan eating Albanian drug dealer in your spare bedroom while the country was run by Gary Lineker, who'd be busy turning it into Pyongyang and making everyone use people's correct pronouns, that's where.

None of whom experienced his "it's other people's money" approach to spending as London Mayor.

At the last count, 1 Billion was wasted on vanity projects that either didn't take, nobody wanted or were supposed to run at cost.

I reckon Sunak would love to cut him loose. It would boost him electorally and having him out of the commons is one less pain in his arse. Trouble is he retains massive support on their benches, who Sunak needs to keep onside.

In short. He'll bottle it

He'd be making the same mistake Cameron did and NOT the mistake Thatcher made by keeping Archer on a short lead.

Archer was also very popular with the grass roots.

Cameron thought he'd get Johnson out the way by persuading him to be London Mayor and look how that worked out.

No surprise the Tories lost all interest with the position of London Mayor under Johnson.

So are you.

For the record, I offered you, a right winger and The Clamp from the other side exactly the same punishment for exactly the same crime. If that's not balanced my name's Gary Lineker

 

[rippleman]

That will be because Sunak has done such a cracking job of reducing the rate of inflation.

No, hang on. That's not right is it?

I would argue that this thread is almost entirely populated by moderates, with the possible exceptions of you, Wokeworrier and The Clamp. The conversation tends to take place in fairly measured tones, when the accounts mentioned above aren’t involved. Certainly if you think we’re all “left-wing agitators” then you’re more Farage/Johnson than Heseltine or Clarke.
