    Yeah, where is Dribbles?
    Beyond multiple people confirming that Cummings warned him (shit, how is Cummings the good guy in this?), wasn't the UK in lockdown around that time? So like, parties/gatherings of all sorts were banned? Doesn't he know what happens at his house?

    Man, if only us regular folks could benefit from the, "We're stupid and didn't know this wasn't allowed. We're very sorry so we can't be in trouble!"

    Getting his suitcase full of wine. Because this is a normal, everyone has a samsonite for their chardonnay.


    For lunch. Our office is sending an intern to Taco Time. He'll hand them a rucksack and just say "fill it up".

    Operation Save Big Dog?

    Could they have named it in any more obvious way what this is all about if they tried?

    I mean, even basic logic says that when everything is locked down and prohibited it would also obviously include drinking party. A PM who can't even do basic logic? Hah...

    I believe that's been the core selling point for the Boris Johnson brand since forever. And many Brits have loved him for it.

    This leads me to a sincere question.
    What are the politics of Pet Ownership in the UK?

    Is Big DOg a lame attempt to win some unearned sympathy? Is it a dig at the Queen's love for small dogs?

    I guess that pretty much explains people like Dribbles and being OK with a clown leading the goverment, because that is funny. For the lulz, guys!
    P.S.
    No, seriously, where is Dribbles? This thread desperately needs him!

    Dribbles is on a forum vacation at present. He'll probably get his posting access back in a couple of days time and grace us with his posts again.

    He can do basic logic. The logic is this:

    "Rules that apply to peasants do not apply to me. Therefore it is logical that I can do whatever the fuck I want while the peasants keep slaving away to pay for my generous salary. In conclusion: Fuck the peasants."

    I think that's his logic. It's hard to find a fault in it, in isolation it is sound. The British public seems to come back for more everytime.

    I am going to take a wild guess and say Boris is compensating for his let's say short comings. I mean that's the only kind of grown men who call themselves big dog.

    No, it's his standard machismo. Same as his going around licking people in hospital to prove Covid wasn't serious, then ending up in ICU on Oxygen for a week after catching Covid. It's pretty much the same exceptionalism Brexit is built on, which is why he was popular.

    They should have called it Operation Save Marmite Duke.

    The finest PM since Thatcher, nay perhaps Churchill, is going nowhere.

    Even if 54 letters are received by Graham Brady forcing a leadership no confidence vote, the rebels still need to get more than 180 Tory MP's to not support our Boris and actually vote against him. Not going to happen.

    Don't forget he was elected to get Brexit done - tick the people thank you Boris, and we are the first country in Europe, nay perhaps the world, to exit the pandemic and return all our unmuzzled freedoms from next week. Thanks once again, the people salute you Boris.

    I'm curious to learn more about the UK version.
    US does have it's own Momentum group, and it's a weird one. Some former Occupy Wall Street guys funded by Silicon Valley moguls to "disrupt" US politics.
    SO ya, another
    left wing equivalent of the US’s Tea party
    . Astroturfing service for shady billionaires.

    If your only way to gain power is to become barely distinguishable from the very thing you were created to oppose, you've got a problem. Do you pursue power at any cost? Or try and hold onto a solid basis for your political beliefs? I would suggest that if we're going to regain the trust of the voters, being political and shifty isn't a good way to go about that.

    I'm surprised he made it through the day without a no confidence vote being called, Wakeford's defection seems to have galvanised the Tories for the time being and it looks like they'll wait until Sue Gray's report is released before deciding if they pull the trigger.

    The polls are looking bad for the Tories and Brexit is over so they can no longer rely on Getting Brexit Done, Corbyn is gone and Johnson's election winning aura has been shattered therefore I think it is a question of when, rather than if, they move to replace Johnson. I would guess that he'll either be gone by the end of the month or they'll wait until after the locals.

    not really hard to see why this happened. He has a history of pursuing politics for his own financial gain.

    Tories are tanking and he wants to keep his meal ticket. its not like hes suddenly abandoned his ideology.

    the equivalent would be Marjorie Taylor Green saying 'im joining the democrats' and them welcoming her unconditionally if her seat looked like it was going to flip.
