So difficult to judge though, isn’t it, when the Tories have such a smorgasbord of cuntery at their disposal, and the public are choc full of questionable fuckers too. I mean, the idea of Priti Patel, for example, being PM absolutely sends shivers down my spine, but after things like Brexit, an emphatic Johnson GE victory and so on, who the fuck knows what our blessed public will do to us next? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted January 13, 2022 I just can't see past the Tories choosing Liz "Cracking cheese Gromit!' Truss to replace him. I think Sunak is too ambitious for Tory tastes and his gloss has been lost with the impending cost of living crisis. The wildcard is Priti Patel, who policy-wise is right up the streets of many Tory members but has proved herself incompetent as International Development Secretary, then (having inexplicably been promoted) as Home Secretary. The thought of her as PM is chilling. I don't think anyone else has the necessary cut through with the public to provide the 'change of narrative' bump the Tories will be looking for. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, one problem with Patel is the resemblance to Johnson in dragging a record of shit that's been glossed over behind her. Rank incompetence and bullying to get her way because she can't manage it on talent being a summary of what's alleged and what keeps leaking. Having attempted to keep the Johnson baggage of incompetence and sexual incontinence at bay it may well be the Conservative Party facing an election and tainted by the idea of hypocrisy in high office would just want someone simpler who presents as able to get things done and manage effectively. Truss had an affair outside marriage but otherwise is rated as politically astute, if a bit too rabidly ambitious, Sunak's family credentials appear solid and he's got a decent record of being parachuted into a desperate situation and delivering rapildy. So, the two front runners likely have enough between them to shut out the other contenders. Re Gove, did anyone see the Viz story a while ago about the fact his face looks weird enough to start with that imagining his cum-face just sends your thoughts in places you don't want to go.

grobler 35 Posted January 13, 2022 This is indeed a slightly strange thread which is possibly off topic ( dead stuff ) . However....his red face is becoming more red with every passing day of BJ antics . A week or so ago I would have laughed at the prospect of any Labour politician taking the ultimate office , let alone this muppet . But it would appear that this chap may have a slim chance . If so....he is a heart attack waiting to happen....I hope he gets his blood pressure checked every week ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had enough of political parties, we just need good and intelligent people in charge who aren't in it to line their own pockets.

Yeah well Boris is an idiot. There are others that want his spot that aren't idiots, namely people with David Cameron and Tony Blair era policies, who wish to send the country further down the river for their own personal gain. While Boris has been a spineless leader, things can get worse. We have a bunch of politicians in this country, left and right, who believe that authoritarian rule and nanny state policies are the way forward. I mean do you guys really want another lockdown? Just be careful what you wish for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well we already know that lockdowns can be proposed in a matter of days (2020 Christmas) by the current administration. Only thing is that there are stronger supporters of imminent lockdowns than Boris.

I think everyone wants this tbh, nobody likes being ruled by a narcissistic prick.
