Gestures

Prime Minister A. B. deP. Johnson on LBC Radio yesterday: “I do not believe in gestures, I believe in substance.” He had just been asked if he would take the knee in support of Black Lives Matter.
Substance not gestures Mr Johnson? Tell us another. In reality, your past history shows you are all gesture and no substance just like your Brexit battle bus with its cheap and misleading promise.

  1. Another politician, full of shit. It's tiring really. No honesty whatsoever.

    1. Not even full of shit, Lilycedar, then he'd carry some weight. Hot air more like it. I wish someone would prick his balloon. But then he does seem thick skinned to the point of impenetrable.

    2. The way he responded to legitimate questions about Dominic Cummings's lockdown rule breaking was appalling. Like a donkey digging its heels in.

  2. Leaving politics aside for a moment, forget lack of content I can't bear the way the man actually talks. It's why you'd have to nail me to the cross in order to listen to PMQs in real time. Instead of which I read transcripts of them after the event. If Johnson were my father, my son or the Holy Ghost himself he'd make my toes curl with embarrassment.

    There was one moment I actually felt sorry for him and that was when he was caught the morning after the referendum results had come in. He was bewildered - it was not what he had expected. It wasn't what anyone (that's me) had expected. But, as ever, quick on his feet, he managed to turn the result to his advantage. And jump ship.

    1. I observed that bewilderment too. It was as if somebody had just hit him with a lump hammer.

  3. A. B. deP. Johnson believes in rhetoric and gestures and himself. His record shows that he doesn't read his briefing notes. He is a showman. A showman with a brain he is too lazy to use as a leader should use it. With his puppetmaster as C o S in Number 10 he is a very dangerous man.

    2. Him and Trump ... SMH
      Does Johnson also kiss Putin'so ass?

    3. He doesn't really have any kind of relationship with Yorkshire Putin.

  4. Orange doesn't suit him, if that is a real photo of course. He is just fumbling around in the dark, which you do when you have such a big ship of people to steer.

    1. That is a real photo from the days when, according to him, he "ran" London. Ha! He couldn't run a bath.

  5. Don't forget the thoroughly empty gesture of clapping for the NHS while transferring infected patients to the care homes.

    1. Hopefully history books will record that cruel neglect though he might say they were following "The Science".

  6. I'm averse to all non-spontaneous gestures, but like Ursula, it's the way Johnson talks that irritates me - the words he uses. Everything he initiates is 'fantastic', 'world-beating', 'brilliant' and other unquantifiable empty words. And if that sickly-looking orange thing came out of my Aladdin's lamp I'd give it to the rag and bone man - my wish my command.

    1. Johnson regularly mangles the English language yet by throwing in a few obscure words and references, he mistakenly believes that he sounds erudite and interesting. It is just an illusion. He is as empty-headed as a balloon. That's why he needs Cummings so much.

    2. Good grief ... he is Trump's friggen twin! Ugly and stupid!

  7. His sister is such a lovely and caring person. I wish she was in number 10 and not him,

    1. She is a lot better but I still don't like her either. Her perfume is called "Privilege".

  8. It's uncanny how much he reminds me of Trump.

    1. He's got the Eton and Oxford education but this has only provided a veneer. Beneath that he is very similar to Trump. Filled not with a sense of public service but with a feeling of self-importance.

  9. When I was in London in January, I saw a BBC breakfast interview--think one of his first post-election. Absolute garbage. Full of long-winded BS and non-answers. No style. No substance. Just inflated ego. Like the orange puff ball over here--Mr. Make America HATE Again...and again and again.

  10. Politicians these days seem to think that we are extremely gullible. Some of us are . I hope , some day, more of us see that some leaders are complete buffoons.

  11. OMG that last picture is flat-out hilarious. Cultural appropriation?! LOL! I'm not sure he's a smarter Trump -- I think Boris is self-interested like Trump, but Trump is more vile, and relishes his own vileness. Boris at least presents a veneer of civility, which may be inauthentic but it's better than urging the populace to bare their fangs and go at each other like pit bulls.

    2. Trump is obviously a wolf. Johnson is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

  12. Steve said everything I was just thinking! We have a leader that gives dog whistles and kudos to white supremacist trash while his buddy Vlad enables bounty hunters on American troops. As bad as Johnson is, I can't imagine he's even close to as vile as 45.

    1. May we therefore assume that you are not a fan of Mr Trump? I am just guessing.

  13. My Dear Yorky Pud:
    Political power is a strange beast or should I say Beastess? She wears a Venetian mask, like the nudie girls in the orgy scene in that sick Kubrick movie; one moment the Beastess will fondle your privates like Fanny Hill; next minute she will sink her fangs in your jugular like Germaine Greer on Viagra. What I need now is my own Bernard Ingham, and I know you are the man for the job. There's money in it Old Lad, and a Golden Goodbye when the post-Brexit deal is done. You and I were nursed by the self-same Mother that is England, even if you went to a slum comprehensive, and I to Eton. Bugger the Jocks, they have their own Playschool Parliament, and it's falling to bits around them like Leggo; and on Wee Miss Nicola, as she totters about on her Mummy's high heels, with her Mummy's lipstick on those voluptuous lips. What I need now is a fighting North Riding hooligan like yourself, baby. Your blog groupies remind me of a flock of starving seagulls savaging a fat rat: Me! But by gosh I prefer them to my bunch of clueless wankers, not to mention that sycophantic lisping little nonce Michael Gove! The challenges facing us are formidable Yorky, but what is that to a Sheffield sharpie like yourself? As Mrs Thatcher said: *We glory in tribulations, for tribulation worketh patience, and patience worketh experience, and experience worketh hope, and hope maketh man not ashamed.* Sounds a tad Biblical, doesn't it? Jeffrey Archer penned it himself, I believe, though I reckon he must have been channelling the Wolverhampton Prophet Enoch, the Undead Oracle who haunts the foaming Thames and the blood-red Tiber and all that shite. I'll give you till Whitsun to make up your mind, Yorky Man. Don't let me down now. There's a holiday home in Benidorm in it plus a Civil List pension. The girlfriend (soon to be Wife Number 3) wets her knickers at some of your filthy blarney, then she gets a bit soppy when she thinks of that curlew of yours on't high and windy moors! I had to buy her a pair of married hedgehogs after she read Tusker's backyard blogs. He's like a back number of Blue Peter that bloke, which is why she likes her Tusker. Cheeky little madame thinks I'm Etonian white trash! She says there's nothing sexier than a Yorkshire stud unless it's Rod Stewart. Some nights I'd get more loving from Wee Nicola, but that's sexual politics for you, Yorky!

    Your Prime Minister in orange who wants you for his Bernard.
    Boris.

    1. Dear Boris
      Your self-assessment is alarmingly accurate. There is no way I will be your Bernard but I will be your Lee Harvey Oswald any time. Can one be arrested for assassinating a mop?
      Yours disrespectfully,
      A Man

  14. So you prefer to ramble in Redmires, than obey your country's call? Ye are not the man I took ye for. *Where are the springs of yesterday? Ay, where are they?* The music of the curlew and the chough will still be there when you return from the corridors of power, laddie. As for roast beef wey tatties and pudding, ye shall have your fill. Bernard Ingham had many a nosh-up in the Reform Club, and so shall ye. God protect me from my friends Yorky, for they be my assassins, and I need a Yorkshire tough like yourself on my exposed flanks. (Nothing carnal, old sport, I'm a straight ladies' man.) As for November 1969, a chum in CIA whom I shall call Tasker (as good a moniker as any) told me that The Men On The Knoll flew in from Monaco, using Sinatra's contacts with Frank Giancano, and then holidayed in Rio after the dirty business was done. Could ye bear such a fate for Boris Mop? Ye are a grammar school boy (I used my contacts in MI5) and grammar school boys will die for England and go to an English heaven. Man up me boy, man up.
    Boris, not too proud to beg.

  15. November 1963 was the year they murdered the President, 67 the summer of love, and 69 when they went to the moon. Boris needs to go back to school.
