But it isn’t just Johnson is it? The whole Tory Party were complicit. The ERG took over, swung it to the extreme right and saw that buffoon of an entitled toffee-nosed clown as a vote winner. They could see that the working class thought he was great fun. The plebs, fede by the Daily Mail, Express and Sun, were taken in by his jokey manner and failed to see the greedy, narcissistic, incompetent birdbrain he really was!
Just like Trump he excelled at lying and talking bollocks.
But behind him the ERG were busy ousting anyone with an ounce of sense or compassion and bringing in the kind of stringent right-wing policies that have broken Britain, destroyed our public services and created a wave of homelessness and food banks.
They systematically took from the poor to give to the rich! It was daylight robbery in all it’s tax cuts and VIP lanes.
The rich have never had it so good. They made a mint out both Covid and Brexit.
Now the glutinous creep has the nerve to produce crocodile tears and lie to the commission. He needs locking up and so do all his Tory confederates!! A bunch of corrupt, greedy exploiters!
The lying Brexiteers Johnson, Gove, Farage and Cummings told everyone it wasn’t going to be like this! The lying media was in cahoots with them!
It was all going to be sunlit uplands! There weren’t going to be any barriers to trade! No tarifs! No lengthy queues! No extra costs! Companies weren’t going to go bust! Companies weren’t going to flee to Europe!!
When people pointed out that once you were outside you were outside! That made border checks, tarifs and extra costs inevitable! That caused delays and trade more expensive! That put prices up and caused made life harder for everyone!
Once you were outside you were outside and treated like everyone else outside!
All those stupid lying soundbites thought up by Cummings and spouted by that stupid lying, self-serving buffoon Johnson (dear old Boris – the narcissistic, lying, self-serving, over-privileged twerp) are now coming home to roost.
We are so obviously not in control of our borders.
The sunlit uplands have turned into hyperinflation and spiralling cost of living.
PROJECT FEAR has come to pass and it was true. We shot ourselves in the foot out of some manufactured xenophobic frenzy.
Even the stupid Brexiteers living in Europe voted for it! They voted their rights and freedoms away!
Now our ERG Masters (Rabid right-wing nutcase xenophobes and self-serving exploiters) and the right-wing tabloid press are trying to blame it on Europe!!
I despise him. I despise him. I despise him so much.
I despise him.
His breath smells like a lavatory
As he talks of setting people free
How wonderful it’s all going to be
While spreading vile conspiracy
And suppressing student literacy
Through dumb education policy
Suppressing votes most happily
While promising the earth to you and me
But he’s a liar.
I despise him. I despise him. I despise him so much.
I despise him.
He’s making more money than a film star
Driving around in his flashy car
Says he’s gonna be the new Czar
Spouting bitumen and fire
From the back of a boxcar
But all his predictions are dire
All his solutions are just bizarre
They’re not gonna get us very far
But he’s a liar.
I despise him. I despise him. I despise him so much.
I despise him.
He’s telling me he’s gonna make the country great
Promising us a better fate
Warning us not to wait
We’ll soon be waiting at God’s gate
Our enemies he’ll decimate
We’ll no longer be second-rate
All receive a hefty tax rebate
All who disagree can disappear and procreate.
But he’s a liar.
I despise him. I despise him. I despise him so much.
I despise him.
He’s singing the national anthem very loud
Of his country he’s very proud
Foreigners should not be allowed
Before the enemy he’ll be unbowed
We could all walk tall in any crowd
He’ll protect us with his mushroom cloud
Before him we should all be wowed
To us everything is vowed
But he’s a liar.
I despise him. I despise him. I despise him so much.
I despise him.
Opher – 17.8.2022
I wrote this with more than a nod to Bob Dylan. The politician could be Trump, Bolsonaro, Johnson, Erdogan, Oban, Modi, any of the loathsome Tory ERG and all populist, fascist scum.
He sat at his desk with two very different articles. There’s the rub. Which to publish?
When Johnson sat at that desk weighing up which way to go on Brexit was he thinking about the nation, the effect of his decision on people? Or was he thinking about himself? Which would bring him power and unlimited wealth?
After being Mr Teflon for so long all the lies, incompetence and law-breaking have blown away the congenial image of slime that coated him. The mask dropped. People now see him for the lying, entitled chancer he really is.
He’s a narcissistic millionaire who craves power and wealth and will stop at nothing to get it – even if that results in mass poverty and the breaking of his own country.
He thought the rules did not apply to him. He condoned a culture of booze and parties while imposing draconian laws on the fools who have to follow rules.
He was above the law.
He could do as he liked.
He strode around his domain like a king, wafting his sleeve at the adoring minions.
He lied to the House and the Public when he told them there were no parties and that all rules had been followed.
He lied.
He was really sorry when he was found out. Sorry that he had been found out. Not sorry about what he had done. He put on a big show of contrition in the House. Later that same day it was all bravado in front of his MPs – no sign of contrition there!
He was not sorry. Like all this millionaire’s bluster – it was an act!
He set about throwing his minions under the bus while the leaders, orchestrators and chief participators went unscathed.
What pressures were put on the MET??
What was the purpose of this secret meeting with Sue Gray??
The bumbling inept clown is really a nasty, calculating, devious, self-serving liar. There is no end to who he will stab in the back in order to get on.
Hey – I’m angry. The extremists, with their selfish greed for power and wealthy, pernicious ideology of xenophobic hate, nationalistic garbage and arrogance, have lied their way to a decision that will ruin our country – it already is!
With their hate talk of sharia law, terrorism.
With their promise of easy deals.
With their promise of countries lining up for trade.
With their promise of huge amounts of money saved for the NHS.
With their use of fear of unbridled immigration.
With their talk of rape gangs of Muslims.
With their talk of five million Turks coming over!
All lies! Lies! Lies!
They never mentioned a staggering £50 Billion divorce bill!
They never mentioned that Turkey were never going to get into the EU!
They never mentioned that they are sponsoring immigration themselves and already can control it if they want!
They never mentioned how expensive it would be to extricate ourselves from all the collaborative work with other countries!
They never mentioned that we were dependant on EU workers for our NHS, Old Peoples’ Homes, Agriculture, restaurants, transport, factory work…………
They never mentioned the cost of duplicating all those roles.
They never mentioned the army of new civil servants, border guards, lawyers and bureaucrats.
They never mentioned the long queues, tariffs and barriers to trade and holidays.
They never mentioned the falling pound, extra costs and further austerity.
They never mentioned that we were all going to be a lot poorer.
They never mentioned the reduced opportunities to work or study in Europe.
They never mentioned the effects on science, education, job opportunities, and commerce or house prices.
They never mentioned turning motorways into carparks.
They never mentioned the increase in hate crime it would create.
They never mentioned the division, hatred and nastiness it would unleash.
They never mentioned how motivated they were by lust for power or wealth.
They never mentioned that they wanted to turn us into a low-pay economy.
They never mentioned that it would turn us into a third-rate country – as they stuffed their own loot abroad (like Rees-Mogg).
It was all going to be easy. We were all going to be richer. Our country would be better rid of Johnny foreigner.
Rarely have I come across a cartoonist so on the button.
I share his disgust at this bunch of radical right-wing extremists posing as conservatives, led by a clown who is really a scheming, nasty lying opportunist.
