In a normal world Johnson should be Persona non grata in this country, yet in reality he's about to launch his new career starring on GB News. 

 

I despise him and anyone that still supports him. 

I think he has gone on there to deny it all

The cunt should be strung up by his balls

Resolutely not a fan of Dominic Cummings, but this exchange is pretty fucking funny:

 

Q: You called cabinet ministers “useless fuckpigs”, “morons” and “cunts”. Were these views shared by others?

Cummings says his appalling language was his own. But those judgments were widespread, he says.

Q: Did you express your views too trenchantly?

Cummings says, if anything, he understated the problem.

Cummings hates the majority of Tory MP's. He used the Tory party to raise his own profile.

if all this is coming out,imagine what would have been on those deleted whatsapp messeges? 

 

I reckon there's loads of stuff that would either show that Carrie was in charge or he was shagging behind her back (or she was) or they all were

If Trump has taught us anything then millions would vote Johnson if he ever got another shot at front line politics, That fortunately is very unlikely mainly because he is too lazy and can't hack it. 

[Tj hooker]

After all these revelations we should never ever get a corrupt fucking Tory government again , but you know the fuckwits in this country will at some point vote these bastards back in .

Up until last week I was working with one still spouting the same shite that under Labour it would be worse .

No surprise that he's a Rag reader passing himself off as a Red .

He added: “I also must stress I think leaving Hancock in post is a big mistake – he is a proven liar who nobody believes or should believe on anything and we face going into autumn crisis with the c--- in charge of NHS still – therefore we will be back around that cabinet table with him and Stevens bullshitting again in Sep. Hideous prospect”

Considering they are largely dependent upon the elderly to keep them in power, that does seem to be a rather flawed attitude.

[Arniepie]

ive said it before.

 

I despise that fat scruffy wife beating drunk with every inch of my soul and those absolute morons who voted for him and still support him can fuck off and fuck off a bit more.

He managed to convince millions that he's just an affable toff and he was on their side.

[redinblack]

Could Johnson not just have accepted his fate and died? The cunt.

[Arniepie]

Wonder if those possible corruption claims are going to be investigated?

Just a hunch but I think not

Did Boris say something untoward...?  Just had a look at the dailies, and nothing mentioned in the Mail, Telegraph or Express.  

 

However, they did each lay the blame for mistakes on the limited abilities of civil servants.

 

The great British press - serving the interests of Britain and the British people!

the mail and the telegraph are ripping into cummings,so he clearly still has friends in high places.

The express front page is surprisingly damming.

 

I wonder what the reaction would have been if he had let the queen die?

on the plus side,this is surely the final nail in his coffin politically.

He will never see power again in this country. 

[Arniepie]

all we needed a stiff upper lip and to show some dunkirk spirit and we would have been sound

 

Johnson was "very confident that the UK would sail through," adopting a "confident and macho" approach in meetings.

MacNamara noted a "jovial tone" in the government and felt "patronised" when she raised concerns.

Old people should surrender to their fate, such a likeable scamp.

No way on this earth those two had it.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/oct/31/eight-shocking-revelations-from-cummings-and-cain-at-the-covid-inquiry
 

These are the key things we learned on the most compelling and foul-mouthed day of the Covid inquiry so far:

• Boris Johnson suggested ‘Covid is nature’s way of dealing with old people’

 

Sir Patrick Vallance, the UK government’s chief scientific adviser during the pandemic, noted that Johnson favoured “older people accepting their fate and letting the young get on with life”. As the prime minister was resisting reimposing restrictions in December 2020, Vallance wrote: “He [Johnson] says his party ‘thinks the whole thing is pathetic and Covid is just nature’s way of dealing with old people – and I am not entirely sure I disagree with them’.”

• Dominic Cummings said vulnerable people were ‘appallingly neglected’

The prime minister’s top adviser was asked about how much No 10 considered ethnic minority groups, domestic abuse victims and others in the run-up to imposing a national lockdown. Cummings said: “I would say that that entire question was almost entirely appallingly neglected by the entire planning system.” He added: “The Cabinet Office was essentially trying to block us creating a shielding plan.”

• Cummings frequently called for the sacking of Matt Hancock and other cabinet ministers

In May 2020, he warned Johnson about the health secretary: “Hancock is unfit for this job. The incompetence, the constant lies, the obsession with media bullshit over doing his job. Still no fucking serious testing in care homes his uselessness is still killing God knows how many.” By August 2020 Cummings told Johnson he was creating the perception that he was “happy to have useless fuckpigs in charge”. He claimed Hancock was a “proven liar”. And he accused Simon Stevens, the chief executive of the NHS in England, of “bullshitting”. He also said Gavin Williamson’s position as education secretary was not sustainable after a U-turn over teacher-assessed exam grades.

• Cummings used misogynistic language to denigrate the deputy cabinet secretary, Helen MacNamara

He claimed MacNamara’s propriety and ethics teams “waste huge amounts of time”. In a WhatsApp message to the No 10 communications director, Lee Cain, he said he would “personally handcuff her and escort her from the building”. He added: “I don’t care how it is done but that woman must be out of our hair – we cannot keep dealing with this horrific meltdown of the British state while dodging stilettos from that cunt.” Cummings suggested moving MacNamara to the communities department where she could build “millions of lovely houses”. Cummings denied his comments were misogynistic. “I was much ruder about men,” he told the inquiry.

• Johnson urged Cummings to end an ‘orgy of narcissism’

When Cummings was asked to leave Downing Street in November 2020, he complained to Johnson about briefings from those close to his then fiancee, Carrie Symonds. Johnson told him: “You speak of briefings from team Carrie. She hasn’t briefed anyone and my instructions to all were to shut the fuck up.” The PM also accused Cummings of briefing that Symonds was shaping lockdown policy. He said: “This is a totally disgusting orgy of narcissism by a government that should be solving a national crisis. We must end this.”

• Cummings was unrepentant about his trip to Durham at the height of lockdown.

He confirmed the day of the Barnard Castle trip was his wife’s birthday. But he added: “The handling of it was a disaster and caused huge pain to a lot of people that I very much regret. But in terms of my actual actions in going north … I acted entirely reasonably and legally, and did not break any rules.” Cummings appeared to regret little about his time at No 10, apart from the language in his messages. His last words to the session were: “I should apologise for my terrible language.” WhatsApp messages shared with the inquiry showed Mr Johnson claiming that his adviser had never told him he had gone to Durham. In messages dated 19 July 2021, Johnson said: “Cummings a total and utter liar. He never told me he had gone to Durham during lockdown … He never told me. I then tried my very best to defend him.”

 

• Cain tried to resist Sunak’s ‘eat out to help out’ scheme in the summer of 2020

The former director of communications at No 1o told the inquiry the then-chancellor’s scheme “made absolutely no sense whatsoever”. He said it undermined the government’s message about Covid. He told the inquiry: “What are we signalling to the public? … Go back out, get back to work, crowd yourself on to trains, go into restaurants and enjoy pizzas with friends and family – really build up that social mixing. Now, that is fine if you are intent on never having to do suppression measures again – but from all the evidence we are receiving … it was incredibly clear that we were going to have to do suppression measures again.”

• Cain said it was a ‘huge blunder’ to ignore Marcus Rashford’s campaign on free school meals

He blamed the mistake on the lack of diversity in government. In his written evidence to the inquiry, Cain said: “I remember asking in the Cabinet room of 20 people, how many people had received free school meals. Nobody had – resulting in a policy and political blind spot. This was a huge blunder. The PM (to some degree understandably) said we needed to draw a line in the sand on public spending commitments, but this was clearly not the place to draw that line – something the PM was told by his senior team of 20 people.”
