WorldChampions1902 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 “Operation Big Dog”, initiated by Conservative HQ to save Spaffers skin. The choice of name, “Big Dog” is another p*ss take from No.10. The Big Dog being a St.Bernard that is deployed in an emergency with a miniature barrel of Brandy round its neck. Hopefully the avalanche of sh*t is so deep, there is no way of rescuing this reptile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtgj Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I'm not sure if Private Eye have an online website to check but apparently they are reporting that No. 10 offered the Queen an exemption for the limits on funerals for the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral. She said no. Of course we now know Boris and his chums at No. 10 were having parties galore at the time. Luckily we have the Queen to set a good example. Shame Boris doesn't care.

One thing we can be sure of about the Queen is that she has a far better grasp on public opinion than the PM and his cronies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interesting thing here Gizmo is BJ's wording. He can claim that the Tories "have been" cutting the cost of living, "have been" as a past tense use of words. He could have meant up until Brexit, up until the pandemic and so on. So a lie? Maybe not. However inflation is now possibly heading out of control at the moment with food, energy prices, rail travel, communications, petrol etc. all going up fast and wages for many not matching. It is what happens now, not in the past that matters to people but BJ has to grasp at the past, using past tense wording to answer a question. Far better he is continually asked what he "is" going to do about the problem of inflation now. What is your party going to do about it etc. Mind you the lies would probably still keep coming from the bar steward. He has no answers because I fear they have no plan.

Who would want to stand against BoJo ? Who would even stand a chance of beating him, if the majority of their MPs still believe in the bumbling buffoon ? I think it might take the May local elections in England (assuming the Tories suffer badly) to focus their minds. You don't stand against BoJo. A vote is taken if Tories write enough letters. He wins he stays on. He loses he's out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know - but a vote of no-confidence in BoJo would only be likely to happen if the parliamentary party already had reason to believe that at least one alternative person was willing to stand for election as leader - and it would have to be someone who they believed would improve their standing ahead of the next GE. Otherwise, I think BoJo would win the no-confidence vote. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
