Reply to: Boris J - "Only a proper Brexit can spare us from this toxic polarisation"

You say that, and our generation may believe that, but I fear the world has changed and 'celebrity' is a career option these days. And a lot of them make a hell of a lot more money than we do! How long will this career option be viable is hard to say as technology changes so quickly, but whilst there is a market to follow the lives of celebs there will be people out there willing to make their lives open to all in order to make a living.

We're getting old mate

I dunno. I think there should be a Love Island TV programme with over 50s as the "celebs"

[Whorty]

There is a lot of truth in what he said, but he did forget to add that Celebrity is not a job title or career option

Great man with a great future. He could be the man to sort out this mess caused by the Government and the pro remain houses of parliament. We could still have a proper Brexit if this great man can get in and sort out some of these chaps.

Nurse!!!

[woohoo]

Only a proper Brexit can spare us from this toxic polarisation

Oh really, the guy who helped create the polarisation suggests that Proper Brexit (whatever that is) is the cure?

He's insulted numerous countries, numerous times and by doing so he has insulted the citizens of that country and no, he's not wrong.

Are you talking about Prince Philip?

[AtW]

Boris is a mini Trump with slightly better education and a lot less money, same kind of slime

[darmstadt]

How can you insult a country?

Who do you think would be offended by what he has said there? Do you feel he's wrong in that assertion?

He's insulted numerous countries, numerous times and by doing so he has insulted the citizens of that country and no, he's not wrong.

Boris on the people of the Commonwealth, 2002: "It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies."

"Rod Liddle recalls that when he and Johnson went to Uganda, Johnson cheerily remarked to the Swedish Unicef workers and their black driver: 'Right, let's go and look at some more piccaninnies.'"

Boris on Uganda, 2002: "If left to their own devices, the natives would rely on nothing but the instant carbohydrate gratification of the plantain."

Boris on Tony Blair's visit to the Congo, 2002: "No doubt the AK47s will fall silent and the pangas will stop their hacking of human flesh, and the tribal warrirors will all break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief."

In 2006 Johnson claimed Turkey should be allowed to join the EU, telling a BBC documentary: "What are we saying if we perpetually keep Turkey out of the European Union just because it's Muslim? It sends out the worst possible signal to moderates in the Islamic world, saying that we can't incorprate such a country." however...Johnson won £1,000 in a Spectator offensive poetry competition for an entry which rhymed "Ankara" with "wankerer". The same poem suggested Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had lost his virginity to a goat.

Boris on South Africa, 2003: "The minority tyranny of apartheid... followed by the majority tyranny of black rule."

And of course as today is 30 years after Hillsborough: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-19589039

Existence of the likes of Boris anywhere other than a circus is the abuse of democracy

[Zigenare]

Needless whataboutery

Bloody snowflake!

“If we left the EU, we would end this sterile debate, and we would have to recognise that most of our problems are not caused by ‘Bwussels’, but by chronic British short-termism, inadequate management, sloth, low skills, a culture of easy gratification and underinvestment in both human and physical capital and infrastructure.”

Nope, not yet but he did insult all of Britain:

I don't recall Boris dishing out abuse to "Remainers" - do you have a source?

[meridian]

Yeah, he called down the wrath of god on them...


No, wait, that was saint Nigel, the workshy MEP, and seven times failed MP, who has decided that if you can’t beat them democratically, then encourage your supporters to kill them, like they killed Jo Cox.

... but no, we’re not allowed to question Saint Nigel.

And the rest.

Apparently “helping create polarisation” is now interpreted as “dishing out abuse”, and while they’re gaslighting for Boris they’re conveniently forgetting the traitors, saboteurs, enemies of the people, etc.

[WTFH]

Did he say “Nazis”? And was it all Brexiter MPs, or just those that associated with certain other groups?

No he dished out abuse to Brexiteers. Likened all Brexiteer MPs to Nazis and those that supported apartheid in South Africa

David Lammy dishes out abuse to Remainers?

What did he say, that you disagree with?

No he dished out abuse to Brexiteers. Likened all Brexiteer MPs to Nazis and those that supported apartheid in South Africa
