Is it just me? 19:51 - Jun 10 with 37923 viewsSpruceMoose

Or does anyone else find the thought of Boris Johnson being our PM, something we can never erase from our history books, utterly and thoroughly depressing?

I mean, ffs, what's the point of anything if that sh!tstain is our representative?

Britain's fall to complete laughing stock will be complete should this come to pass.

Just think why we may be getting a new PM?

If all the parties had not been such useless twerps for the last 3 years then we would not be where we are today.

Well yes. Now you've made me feel even worse. But I think such is my hatred for Johnson it would bother me to see him get what he wants more than the other candidates.


Johnson's sheer vanity and obvious desire to be PM purely for it's own sake means that his failure to do so will be enjoyable but the alternatives are all crap. And that obviously includes Corbyn who struggles to show any opposition to even this sh1tshow of a government.

All all gone to sh!t since 24 June 2016.

Literally nothing would surprise me now.


It's been sh!t for a lot longer than that.

Brexit has served a certain purpose in that regard. By being an inescapably real situation instead of the usual posturing with words, it's exposed our Westminster politicians, the system and a self-interested media that keep fuelling it for what they are. Basically, they're not fit for purpose.

The question is what do we do about that instead of this being exploited by populist chancers like Farage. In Scotland, the truth has been inescapable for longer and has resulted in the SNP. So perhaps this surge of support to the LibDems can last a bit longer and stem a slide to the silly right-wing?

It's depressing, but nowhere near as frightening as the prospect of Corbyn as PM.
The next Tory leader is going to be toast anyway unless they can deliver an acceptable form of Brexit, which is impossible.

If you think that the EU are going to roll over when faced with Boris’s idle and fatuous threats then I think you are in for a nasty surprise. What is it that makes you think they will change the agreement that has already been made?

The problem is that too many in the UK don't understand the relative strengths of the EU compared to this country. As evidenced by the post your replied to.

If it’s a choice between Boris and JC I would vote for Boris every time. If however the opposition had a rationale centrist none Marxist then at a GE I would be very happy to vote for them. But we don’t we are stuck with current Tories or 70 something bloke who shouts at rallies but doesn’t do a lot else.

You do realise many people disagree with his policies too, and his personality his intertwined with that.

Indeed.

The idea that Boris or indeed any of the other contenders leading the Conservatives is what the UK now needs is frankly insanity. Their record domestically and over Brexit is shocking, and now they look like doubling down.

Objectively we need to reappraise and rebalance the social conditions in this country. Whatever one thinks about Corbyn as a leader, if it's a choice between Red and Blue then there's only one reasonable choice.

We'll see. I doubt that will translate into a real GE performance but the LibDems do seem to be to the left of the old New Labour so that's a step in the right direction.

It's time for someone to pick up the ball and sort out the UK's structural issues and imbalances. Actively and not just talking about it.

Well, she's not wrong:

"Ahead of her speech at the European Policy Centre, Ms Sturgeon said people in Scotland had "shown that they comprehensively reject Brexit and want to remain as a European nation".

She added: "Membership of the EU not only has huge economic benefits for Scotland, but is the basis of the core values we share around democracy, equality, co-operation and human rights.

"My engagements in Brussels are an opportunity to outline the Scottish government's support for those values and how they contribute to a better Scotland, Europe and wider world.

"On issues such as climate change and tackling inequality we can all work together to ensure the wellbeing of our citizens, as well as the wealth of member states."

And none of that will be coming from Westminster unless there's a radical shift in priorities and taking responsibility.
