Why Do The Poltroons Clamour To Get Boris Out Immediately?

[ToraToraTora]

He's resigned you got your way. Every resigning PM in history has stayed until a successor is chosen. It is constitutionally very difficult to do anything else as I have explained about a dozen times on various posts. So why is this resignation any different to say Blair? Cameron? May? They were afforded the dignified path. Why do they want to keep putting the boot in? You won, you got your scalp, take the win and move on.

[Old_Geezer]

Well FatticusInch, if you are of the impression that, that is Tory party policy, then presumably yes.

[FatticusInch]

Not theirs, just Johnson’s.
It’s the one thing he’s made an unqualified success of.

[Stableford]

Hangers on like Blair and May never seem to achieve much- but if that's the way the system works, that's the way it works.

//Have you stopped beating your wife yet ?//

What a strange thing to say, why would you even think of saying that on this thread.

Unless of course you beat your wives.

Well thank the Lard you are not PM is all I can say

They were afforded the dignified path. - - er yes they went in a dignified fashion unlike every jot about boris ( bless!)

You won, you got your scalp,
I'll drink to that ! hur hur hur

YMF, the question about wife-beating was meant to echo the OP which implied that people wanting Boris to go promptly were poltroons (i.e. cowards). My wife-beating question was meant to demonstrate that a so-called question can contain assumptions which make the question imossible to answer with a simple yes or no.

YMB - // //Have you stopped beating your wife yet ?//

What a strange thing to say, why would you even think of saying that on this thread.

Unless of course you beat your wives. //

It's a famous version of an 'unanswerable question' - the theory being that the respondent cannot reply without putting his reputation at risk, either by saying that he doesn't beat his wife, suggesting that he did once, but does no longer, or any form of agreement, which suggests that he still does.

It doesn't actually fit in this context.

//"We didn’t get ‘our way’, he was forced out by fellow Conservatives, or as you’re fond of asking, ‘are you too thick to understand that’? " - so Labour didn't want him out then? Read between the lines genius.//

EVERYONE wanted him out, genius. Conservatives, Labour, Lib Dems, SNP and Greens.
What you cannot abide is that so many Tories wanted him gone, they’d finally realised that he was toxic, never fit for purpose, lying, evasive, divisive and tried to cover his tracks after knowing about but subsequently still appointing a renowned predatory sex pest into high office. So many respected former prime ministers and cabinet members from previous Tory governments wanted him ousted too.
We know that you hero-worship him, which actually reflects on you, your outlook, demeanour, character and ideals.
We all know you for who and what you are, aligning yourself with such an egregious character just confirms it.

[Peter Pedant]

why did we want him out pronto?

his government was rocked by the Vassall and Profumo scandals, which to cultural conservatives and supporters of opposing parties alike seemed to symbolise moral decay of the British establishment.

Macmillan 1962

same now...
AND
come on babies, "have you stopped beating your wife yet?"
is a trope ( thing larger than it is in words) ( wot dat den)
or even a Barth Myth ( thing larger that it is in words (*)). And so by definition ( of a trope that is!) is larger than it seems

I mean any DURRRR kno that ( thx to molesworth)

(*) an obvious example is John Snow, Cholera, Broad St pump is more than just diarrhoea farts.

I answered the OP when you asked it on another thread, TTT. My answer was ignored ...

For a lot of Tories, and most of everybody else, it's completely unacceptable that the man who's been forced to resign against his will by his own party, because he's unfit for office, is planning to stay in that office, that's he's unfit for, for months more. Every further day that he's in that role does more damage to our country

//I answered the OP when you asked it on another thread, TTT. My answer was ignored ...//

My second response was also ignored Ellipsis. I guess it's easier to whinge about a lack of answers than to actually engage with those who did respond.

[Ellipsis]

And I also posted this, again ignored ...

> that's what has happened every time in history, why is this any different?

Because the reason he's going is that he's not fit for office. He's a liar. His morals and ethics are not up to the job. He's in it for himself more than the country or even his party. Give him a few more months and who knows what will happen? If you want what's best for the country, we need a safer pair of hands on the tiller. Somebody with a lot of gravitas who has no interest in running for the leader. The wild days of recent times have to be over, not continuing for months more, which they will if Boris remains. The press is not going to settle down and go quiet. More and more stuff will be unearthed. It needs to stop.

[fiveleaves]

You have to remember that Boris has his finger on the nuclear button. Boris with nothing to lose could be very dangerous, and he simply is not a fit person to be PM

[Mozz71]

He's a Muppet Fiveleaves, but I don't think he's a genocidal maniac. We're talking about Boris, not Putin.

[naomi24]

Haaaa! Now I know why I’ve never taken you seriously fiveleaves. That’s really …. :o

[Untitled]

boris is more likely to pass out on top of the nuclear button while doing a line off it than he is to press it on purpose!

[davebro]

Apart from a few peccadillos Boris has done a fair job as PM and to say he shouldn't stay on for just a few more weeks (when nothing new will happen policy-wise) is just grasping for your pound of flesh. Let it alone won't you!

[drmorgans]

"He's resigned you got your way"?

It was a coup because he closest colleagues got fed of lying for him then getting dobbed on. Raaaab said Bozo had told him knew nothing of Pincher's sexual proclivities then it was revealed Boris had been briefed and even joked about it. You can only hold your nose in the cesspit for so long.
