Rate Boris's reign out of ten

Re: Rate Boris's reign out of ten

He probably thought of it as a reign, but no, he didn’t make it to world king - or he hasn’t done so yet.

I’m feeling well disposed towards Johnson today because he’s gone and also because I heard him say something which made me laugh - that’s a first in my life. Therefore, I’ll give him one point for the vaccine and not take any off him for being a lying scumbag.

One out of ten for me.

Re: Rate Boris's reign out of ten

0/10 The worst PM in my lifetime.
Constantly lying and lazy.
Embarrassed into U turns in providing free school meals by a footballer, far too slow to respond to covid, an excuse of a Brexit deal that has provided zero benefits, a cruel and failed immigration system and then all the lies

Twelve years of the Tories and what a mess he has left the country in. Soaring inflation, the health service with huge backlogs, public sector strikes likely to go across the board and utility bills going through the roof.

How anyone can vote for these incompetent chancers is beyond me.

6/10

The more you look back on it, what a horrendous hand he was dealt. I think he did okay on Covid tbh. I think he did well on the Ukraine and I think he did the right thing in finally getting us out the EU after the referendum. He loses points for his dishonesty and losing the trust of people.

On most other things, it's kinda impossible to tell because Covid then Ukraine have wrecked any plans.

I can't argue with that James - maybe dock him a point because the Cummins affair as well.

Re: Rate Boris's reign out of ten

Hate all this chummy ‘Boris’, it’s Johnson, no, actually it’s F*cking Johnson. The man didn’t give a shite, nothing decent can be attributed to him, a complete upper class tosser.

Abso****inglutely It's Johnson and not (brand) Boris

Re: Rate Boris's reign out of ten

Worst PM in modern times. Made so called "difficult hand" worse. Lets not forget his ties with Russia. He should never have been mayor of London, let alone Prime Minister.

If we are benchmarking the /10 against our expectation then I don't think it is entirely fair to remove points for dishonesty.

Re: Rate Boris's reign out of ten

Minus 10. Boris Accelerated the Kalergi plan.
Anyone hear the speech Liz Truss just made? Sounded like a 6th form liberal democrat. Which exactly what she was.
Truss is just a puppet. Already hawkish on Russia, which will please her zio-con owners. In her tea time speech, she described the Ukraine conflict as "Putin's war". Who is she kidding? It's the American empire's war and British people will freeze to death for it.

only minus 10?

I'd give the vile fecker minus 1,000,000 and I am being extremely generous here

How was he lazy? The footballer didn't embarrass him. The left wing press decided it was his job to feed other peoples kids. So he yielded. The lockdowns were a massively exspensive over reaction, which will never be repeated when faced with a similar virus. The benefits of Brexit are yet to be realised, far too early. What about a higher degree of democracy we now have since removing the "democratic deficit" of Brussels rule?
Soaring inflation is due to the Ukraine conflict. Are you against Britain's support for Ukraine? ( i am)
The huge backlogs in the NHS are due to a very strict lockdown that you wanted more of...
Strikes are due to Ukraine induced inflation, as are utility bills sky rocketing. Again, are you against the American empire fighting a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine? Kier Starmer isn't, so you'd have soaring inflation with him and he sacked a front bencher for turning up at a strikers picket lol Starmer also wanted a larger lockdown. So the NHS backlog would be even worse.

Re: Rate Boris's reign out of ten

9.5 out of 10
3 for getting Brexit done
1 for the vaccines and covid
5.5 for the parties and completely winding up all the lefties, especially Douc-ie it's been fun

The King is dead long live the Queen

Never forget Beer Korma is the only acting political party leader investigated for breaking covid rules!

If you think that winding up the lefties is the greatest achievement of a country’s PM then it suggests pretty clearly that you think he was an absolute bag of shit as well, you’ve kinda kicked your own arse here :facepalm:

Re: Rate Boris's reign out of ten

It’s a minus score from me as well and also the worst PM in my lifetime.
I stay clear of commenting on political threads but British politicians are right now at the bottom of the barrel.

What evidence do you have that inflation is because of the Ukraine war? Inflation was rising before the war especially utility bills.
Whilst our electricity bills are going through the roof they have gone up by just 4% in France.

Why is it you Tories always look to put the blame elsewhere. Its never your fault is it?

As for Johnson not being lazy he couldn't he bothered to turn up for the crucial Cobra meetings. He missed five consecutive meetings in the build up to the covid crisis because he was trying to sort out the mess in his personal life

Its also nonsense to suggest the Ukraine war is the cause of the current strikes. Why aren't there strikes around the rest of Europe then? Bottom line public sector pay had been diminishing in real terms for years under the Tories and people have had enough

About time your lot took responsibility for the mess the country is in. You've been in power for over 12 years

Re: Rate Boris's reign out of ten

Certainly a minus for me.
Not just him but this whole shower
Truss has the potential to be far worse. But on a positive they’ve woken lots of people like me, fairly centrist slightly left, who can’t wait to get them out in a couple of years

Re: Rate Boris's reign out of ten

I like these Boris Johnson threads.

They're always a decent way to spot the wishy-washy, sensitive, communist bleeding hearts from the massive cuunts.

I agree with some of the above post but there are a few inaccuracies.

Bills have gone up less in France possibly because their main suppliers are nationalised and there is a relatively heavy reliance on nuclear. The nuclear programme was abandoned in the UK when Labour cancelled 10 proposed nuclear plants by declaring "No more Nuclear". There were good reasons for that at the time as there was concern about the disposal of nuclear waste. Nonetheless the comparison with France is not that relevant.

I must admit I chuckled at the mention of Johnson not attending COBRA meetings. That of course is true but in my experience PMs rarely attend them unless the matter to be discussed escalates to a full blown emergency. While Johnson did not attend the early meetings he was fully engaged later on. Your comment however, about sorting out the mess with his personal life rings true but again I don't think not attending early COBRA meetings is directly linked to his personal situation.

I'm not a fan of Johnson either but I understand how the things you have raised suddenly become fact.
