Popular Post Davkaus Posted April 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2022 5 minutes ago, LondonLax said: Obviously who the U.K. decides to be its leader is only dependent on what’s best for the U.K. and Boris Johnson should face the consequences of his actions but at the same time could you imagine being Zelensky? Imagine agreeing military aid with the U.K. leader on the weekend then finding out the U.K. had undergone regime change a few days later and because of a party a couple of years ago. He would be tearing his hair out in despair. Is Johnson doing anything we wouldn't expect our country to be doing? He's not providing particularly inspiring leadership, he's not dragging the country kicking and screaming - I see absolutely no reason why Johnson paying for his mistakes and being replaced would significantly change the approach, or lead to any kind of disruption to our response to what's going on in Ukraine. He's not sat in No 10 pushing tank figurines around on a map of a battlefield. He's not lugging the kit over there himself. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, if what we’re doing already is the right and proper thing to be doing then there’s no reason to think it wouldn’t continue under other stewardship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) And to add to that, if it's the case that there's nobody else in the cabinet capable of stepping in and leading in his absence, what a scandal. What an absolute dereliction of duty to fail to ensure the right people are in place. What's our plan if Boris gets hit by a bus, shut the country down for a few weeks? The PM is supposed to be the first among equals in the cabinet. They're accountable, but certainly shouldn't be a single point of failure, and it says it all about the sycophants and bottom-feeders that Boris surrounds himself with that anyone should fear his absence.

"Prime Minister, it's Zelensky here, I need some weapons" "I'll get Ben on to it right away - he'll arrange it all and pass you the details" "Thanks" "In return, I'd like to pop over like the EU leader did, and like the Polish and other leaders did and do a walkabout and have a chat - are you on for that?" "Sure, the UK has been a real help, I'd be glad to host you" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted April 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2022 OK, I know it's Facebook, but I just saw a newsfeed item on there with Starmer calling on Bozo to resign. Now, I'd expect some Tory comments in response, but I was shocked at how overwhelmingly negative they were. Literally page after page after page, of how Starmer is even worse, how he was a defender of Jimmy Savile, etc., etc. Truly depressing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 London has a very vibrant tradition of mass street protest. I'm surprised there hasn't been much visible action against Johnson. I'm still waiting for a March for Democracy event in D.C., but it's crickets here. Really disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
