Johnny Mercer

[allenlondon]

A true patriot.

Who will read this article?

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/apr/21/ex-minister-johnny-mercer-says-almost-nobody-tells-truth-in-johnsons-government

I wonder.

[naomi24]

I read it.

//Almost nobody tells the truth is what I’ve worked out over the last 36 hours.//

He’s been an MP since 2015 and it’s only in the past 36 hours he’s decided that his colleagues are liars? Hmmmm.... I suspect there’s more to this story.

Already a thread on this:-

Yes I read it, and I agree with him.
Veterans are being hung out to dry to placate the extremists of Sink Fein and the, ''Nationalist Community.''

Johnson has purged just about all reasonable and principled tories from his party... there really are not that many left.

[david small]

Politicians. If they breathe, they lie.

[Theland]

We seem to only ever have a choice between bad, really bad, worse, and evil, and very few knights in shining armour make it to the top.
Poor us, the electorate, doomed to be pawns forever in the great power game.

[emmie]

we elect them theland, we can deselect them next time round.

and yes i read it, tend to agree with Naomi on this, its taken him long enough to make up his mind to leave.

[youngmafbog]

//we elect them theland, we can deselect them next time round.//

And replace them with what. Just what choice do we have, Sir Kneelalot or the bumbling lying womanising buffoon. Great isnt it.

//and it’s only in the past 36 hours he’s decided that his colleagues are liars?//

In the past 36 hours has come out to say it. Sometimes it is better to stay quiet and fight from within. Maybe now Johnson has shown his true 'New Labour' colours he can say what he feels without threats.

[emmie]

personally i like Boris, i hope he stays for the forceeable.

[allenlondon]

Perspicacious as ever.

[youngmafbog]

I hate the liberal, now green, man. I didnt vote for Princess nut nut's ideologies.


I want my Tory Party back. Now I know how labour supporters felt when Bliar hijacked their party.

[Untitled]

you hate Johnson for being green? Bit odd. I dislike him too but I can think of better reasons...

Would be interested to know when the "old tory party" was around that you'd like back...

[bednobs]

Who is sir kneel a lot? Who is princess nut nut?

[Untitled]

It's a spiteful nickname for Carrie Symonds from Dominic Cummings

[derekpara]

It's a stab in the back for veterans.

[ynnafymmi]

Its certainly a stab in the back for our heroes.IRA scum strabads get rewarded,our heroes get hounded.God-damn Bojo and his bunch of cretins.Same goes for Wee Virgin,she has been allies with Sinn Fein/IRA for a while now.Angry,very angry.

[naomi24]

YMB, //In the past 36 hours has come out to say it. //

Unfortunately not. He said //I’ve worked out over the last 36 hours.// Slow on the uptake?

[allenlondon]

I’m not a 100% fan of Mercer’s views. Crimes in war need pursuing and punishing, whether commited by Germans, IRA irregulars, or indeed the British army.

Otherwise the ‘Nuremberg’ defence (only obeying orders etc) is everybody’s get-out clause.

We strive to be MORE civilised, not less.

Mercer is however right in describing Johnson and his gang as unworthy of governing Britain.

[naomi24]

They’re doing alright. I can imagine worse. Far worse.

[allenlondon]

Having lived through Thatcher, and Blair, and Cameron, so can I, Naomi, so can I.
