Boris Johnson All Town Are We !!

Quoted from golfer

Why don't you explain why you are asking for an explanation. Anybody with any sense between the ears knows that we can't support the millions that have come in recent years.

Here. Educate yourself.

Wow. Maybe i should have refrained from starting this thread. Just thought it was funny that an ex prime minister who is so immediately recognisable and so not northern, would be sporting a Grimsby Town hat. No other motive just other than odd to say the least. We are hardly, or so i thought, so " on trend ". Maybe we are?. Not gonna get drawn into what shoulda, coulda, woulda have happened with Covid other than to offer just one observation. Every single person that i know, at some stage deliberately broke/bent Covid rules to suit what they at the time thought they had to do to get by. Every one. Even the ones who largely complied with most rules, broke them on occasions. By and large, the politicians did the same. Its just the newspapers were not after stories about us, we were not going to make the front page holding a BBQ in our back yards. Boris used to be such a well liked guy by the British Public. Guess he aint any more.

I think he wears it to wind up Sunak after we beat his Southampton team in the cup.

Good point

I've no idea why anybody might 'like' this feckless waster who has spent his life telling lies about pretty much everything as long as it benefits him, but each to their own. His flipping name isn't even Boris - his siblings call him 'Al'. Johnson shouldn't have got anywhere near the levers of power and his pathetic excuse of a response as Covid emerged led to tens of thousands of needless deaths. Because he was lazy and disinterested. Nothing more, nothing less. He failed at his job, because he was lazy and, this time, his lies had serious consequences. He's now lying to avoid facing the consequences having 'lost' his WhatsApp messages in the same way that our current 'tech bro' PM has somehow 'lost' his WhatsApp messages. Does anybody really believe this is true?

The Partygate stuff is something less important, just a general reflection of how excrement the Tories have been since 2019. It's embarrassing and pathetic, but not a patch on the mishandling of the rest of the pandemic. We could all see the catastrophe emerging in Northern Italy yet the government did nothing until it was way, way too late. Led to more deaths, longer lockdowns, more critical sickness (including Long Covid), crushed the NHS even further etc etc. The fornicators should be punished for their criminal negligence.

Could i also add that i don't come on here often enough to have noticed, that a previous topic had been started about this GTFC hat of his. This i see now, was also moved to non football, some 2 weeks earlier. I will now slink back to the murk of my Ship Wreck, in Gainsborough on the Mud, mindful of the need to check a bit more in the future, before publishing ! UTM

Quoted from Maringer

Yup. We've been well below replacement levels since the early to mid 1970s. The boomers complaining about immigration really are deluded, though you probably can't blame most of them as most seem to get their (dis)information from the likes of the Daily Heil, Torygraph and Express...

The boomers who:

Bought their houses when they were plentiful and cheap relative to wages.
Benefitted from Labour’s post war ‘contract with the people’ national renewal programme but who vote Tory
Who have caches of savings and investments, range rovers, superb pensions, private health but want the ladder pulling up
Screwed the young because they voted brexit and now hate foreigners and love Suella.
I know and see loads and loads of them.

Quoted from mariner91

The irony being that they’ll be the first to complain when they can’t get a GP, dentist or carer in their old age. Their chickens will come home to roost eventually but it will be the working age members of the population who have to pick up the pieces and pay for it all. The most selfish and delusional  generation that ever lived.

What do you want - " The birth pill being substituted for the pensioners extermination pill ?"  In most countries old people are looked after by their families and even then receive larger pensions. At the moment immigrants receive a sight more benefits than pensioners in THIS country. What we need are the people WE NEED.

This is untrue.

It’s a lie that has been spread on Facebook and which you are now spreading on here…

Mate, this is just rambling cobblers as it is. This would all depend on circumstances.
