Boris - For A Piece Of Cake

Just under two years ago, the UK Conservative Party made the ridiculous decision to oust former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. What followed was a disastrous election defeat for the party and a new Labour government.

With mass riots, pensioners set to freeze, people being arrested for tweeting, mass infrastructure projects cancelled, tax rises coming, and Labour capitulating to the unions, I don’t think many of us realised how good we had it under Boris Johnson.

Yes, there were challenges, but those challenges were not ones the UK faced alone.

There was an ambition to level up communities that traditionally have been left behind with bold infrastructure projects that would encourage growth – many of which are now cancelled.

There was far less division, people weren’t being arrested for tweeting, our pensioners weren’t being left to freeze in the winter. Everywhere Boris Johnson went, ordinary people flocked to him. We had great relationships with our allies and we were global leaders – whether it be the vaccine roll-out or our role in supporting Ukraine.

Now we are a laughing stock. Politicians around the world are mocking us for the horrendous crackdown on free speech we have seen under Labour.

It is absolutely ridiculous that we got rid of a Prime Minister for doing something as simple as eating cake in the office just for him to be replaced by a new government that is watching on as our country falls apart at the seams.

I hope the politicians that brought down Boris, many of them now out of a job themselves, sit there and think – was this all worth it over a bit of birthday cake?

tomus: "Tora, you must therefore believe that this man you revere is unbelievably thick." - who said I revered him? I did think he was a good choice in 2019 and unfairly supplanted.

"To stand at a lecturn every day reciting the rules, but not realising that he himself and everyone around him was breaking them at the same time." - the gathering was withing the rules like thousands throught the country

"To make the Queen sit on her own at her husband's memorial" - he didn't do that, media expectation did that. "..and then going back for prosecco and cake at some minions leaving do." - another legal gathering among work colleagues.

"Boris Johnson is not thick. He is dishonest." - perhaps but no one seems to have an example.

I did, because you obviously do.

Big deal ! read my OP - was it for such trivia worth losing, as someone above says, 'The best British PM since Thatcher" ?

But back to the status quo:

The authorities have already started arresting right wing social media users for stirring up racial hatred, which looks like another example of 2-tier policing, after all, no such arrests were made in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests, even though hundreds of thousands of users in the UK 'whipped up' violence against the police by accusing them of racism.

During one demonstration, which the BBC described as 'largely peaceful', 27 officers were injured. Social media companies promoted pro BLM posts, but did Kier Starmer demand that they should feel 'the full force of the law'.

On the contrary, he took the knee.
