Totally agree...unfortunately you only have to look at Milan yesterday to see how these things can be all too easily forgotten. Berlusconi was banned, in the way you suggest, and yet yesterday he received a State Funeral...albeit with no foreign dignitaries in attendance.Quote:

Why are we even talking about Boris Johnson? he isn't even an MP anymore. OH the irony XD
...and your point is?Quote:

Having repeatedly defended him, most especially over your beloved Brexit, which even you must now recognise was built upon another web of lies, perhaps that’s why you might prefer him not to be discussed.
Well we do have the ongoing soap opera as various MP's and hangers on in the Tory party now with a straight face support Johnson, admittedly very few of them but we had the Fail, The Express, The Sun and The Torygraph describing the incompetent, self entitled narcissistic, lying disrespectful arse as if he was actually anything other than a total disaster for the UK from the moment the utter fools in the Tory party elected him as leader.Quote:

Probably a similar lack of bias and impartiality as you're displaying 😄
It was a dig in your ribs RA, in the same vein, as when I have a pop at Diane Abbott. Only Abbott is still an MP out in limbo, whilst Johnson, is outcast and not running anymore. Even you can see that. Nothing to see here. XDQuote:

Time for Johnson to quit politics, he will make a fortune doing after dinner speeches, maybe even I'm a celebrity.
He's certainly a polarising character, of major political figures he's probably the only one I could find myself being able to talk to over a pint, but he's about as trustworthy as a bucket with no bottom.
Just wish sunak would call an election and bring the whole sorry mess to an end.
