“My policy on cake is pro- having it and pro- eating it.”
—Boris Johnson
“By the time he graduated from Oxford at the age of 23, Johnson’s three key personality traits had been formed. After that age, he did not learn or mature an iota. (First) a skill unmatched since Tony Blair to communicate with the wider public; second, his inner emptiness made it imperative for him always to be the centre of attention, craving affirmation and breaking truth and convention to achieve it; finally, a total absence of moral compass, seriousness or ability to see anything or anyone as more than fodder to be expended for his own gratification, pleasure and career.”

“As for a present for Nicola, there is all sorts of things that will arise naturally from the UK getting a new relationship with our friends in the European Union. But one thing that may be of particular interest to the people of Scotland is they will become the proud possessors of hundreds of thousands of tonnes of fish, shellfish, crustaceans. I don’t know whether Nicola is a keen fish-eater but she will have more than she can possibly consume herself for a very, very long time to come. How about that?” —

Referred to the police by the Cabinet Office last year over events in Chequers and Downing Street following a review of his official diary as part of the official COVID inquiry, Boris said: “I think it’s ridiculous that elements in my diary should be cherry-picked and handed over to the police, to the privileges committee. “This whole thing is a load of nonsense from beginning to end.”
“Members of the Privileges Committee, including Labour’s Harriet Harman, have already expressed deeply prejudicial remarks about my guilt before they had even seen the evidence. It was a kangaroo court. Its report is clearly partisan and biased.”

—BoJo, Resignation Speech, July 7th 2022

Surely it’s time for you to comment on the performance or lack of it of the SNP and
cult status that the Ex leader received, a very unhealthy situation that needs addressing.
Also I believe George Osborne paid in the region of 5 billion in 2008 banking crisis
supporting the Irish banking system. France & Germany I believe have an EU
investigation ongoing into Irish business tax rates encouraging overseas companies
set up in Ireland, citing unfair competition.
Long overdue indeed. In fact, one was ion the sticks when this whole BoJo farrago barged into the limelight. Watch this space…
