Johnson being investigated over Caribbean holiday

Good on him people will say, who wouldn't do the same , those giving him the holiday want nothing in return they are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, and anyway didn't he get brexit done?
 
The thing is these are fairly minor issues. Wallpaper, pre-COVID beach holiday.

These make it look as if the media is doing their job when there really are bigger fish to fry and expose.
Starmer’s wallpaper meme was embarrassing.
 
Good old Boris, real man of the people, he got brexit done, he got the vaccine done. I don't care that he's a racist, homophobic serial philanderer who cheated on his wife whilst she was undergoing cancer treatment.

This is the kind of guy I can get behind!

Make Britain Great again!!!
 
Some people in the Conservative Party really don't like Johnson, do they?

This is not coming from the official opposition.

I just wish I knew what is motivating these Tories. If it is a faction appalled at the damage Johnson has done to the standards and conventions of politics and specifically the Conservative Party, then great. If it was the more moderate One Nation Tories who have felt driven out, marginalised or homeless over the last four years, then great. There is a Churchill project, similar to the Republican's Lincoln Project which is trying to reclaim the Party from the grip of the Trump/Tea Party wing, it would be good for the country if it can prevail.

If it is the CRG (Coronavirus Rsearch Group) element, which is pretty much the ERG people then I'm wary. These are the arrogant, stupid, nasty wing of the Party and may just be doing it because they don't like the (late but necessary) restrictions imposed on them during the pandemic.

If it is MP's who simply don't like the way they are unable to influence a PM who put first of all Cummings in prime place of influence, now it is Symonds who has more influence and ultimately Johnson is a populist so will be driven by what makes him popular with the public rather. They don't like not being able to call the general tune.

During the pandemic, a lot of public money has been handed out. This state intervention is socialism and goes against fundamental Conservative principles. These idiots won't care that this was the only practical solution, that the private sector is not fit to deal with something like this, they view the principle as more important than peoples health, well being and livelihoods.

There has also been a lot of corruption going on, which although many of the Conservative MP's, friends, donors and family members have benefited from, will not sit well with even some CRGers or One Nation Tories.
 
A few years ago any of these things would have ended with a resignation, Johnson is caught time and time again doing things that he shouldn’t but he has no moral compass and believes he’s entitled to special privilege....I understand his contempt given the circumstances of his upbringing etc but how can people think of him as in any way a man of the people is way beyond my ken, we have a dishonest, amoral, corrupt leader who tells the rest of the world how exceptional we are as a nation, our exceptionality is how easily so many have been charmed by a charlatan with no integrity, no morality and is laughing at them to their faces.

Breaking the law is a minor issue?

Said poster has a history of saying stupid and sometimes vile things and when it all goes belly up he plays the victim card. Without a doubt the most messed up person who has ever frequented this board and I include Rifle in that.

He was formerly known as CliveRoadStamper on the old board and OnTheMap previous to that.
 
Yeah, you’d never get a Labour or Liberal politician investigated for dodgy behaviour, would you?

David Chaytor and his dodgy expense claims

The John Stonehouse swimming club

T. Dan Smith and his backhanders from Poulson

Peter Mandelson - so bent he had to quit not once but twice

Jacqui Smith’s porn films

Prescott bonking Tracey Temple in his office

Ron Davies cruising for sex on Clapham Common

Jeremy Thorpe threatening to shoot his gay lover’s dog

Paddy Pantsdown Ashdown

Many Tories are as bent as a nine bob note but let’s not pretend that Labour or Liberal politicians are any different. Liars, swindlers, predators, backhanders, no matter what party they represent.
