How did that get through the swear filter when *** doesn't?

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Interesting take.

Is that his actual account?

Haha no. It's been altered

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Haha no. It's been altered

God that's cringy

God that's cringy

Why?

 

[Reiser99]

Not cringy, just very hypocritical. He really should brush up on Christ's teachings before he next votes.

Keeps on coming. If he hoped it would die down it seems he was wrong.

Haha no. It's been altered

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Why?

I find over the top "praise be to Jesus" stuff cringy, particularly from those who do not seem to follow any of the teachings of Jesus.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I don't find an expression of faith cringy, let people do what they want as long as it's not offensive.

Being an ultra conservative, Brexit supporting, bigoted, unionist and using Catholicism to justify some of your political ideologies is though. If he wasn't a rich, privately educated snob and had to spend any time with the majority first and second generation Italian, Polish and Irish that make up the majority of Catholic communities in your country you wouldn't have the same views.

This doesn't read as just an expression of faith imo, it reads as virtue signalling, the sort of guy who yells from the rooftops about what a great Christian they are when they clearly aren't.

Tucker Carlson is promoting testicular tanning. That explains so much.

Stuff going down today

I imagine the big one will be if a censure motion is allowed. As that will really put a cat amongst the Tory pigeons where a a large amount of Tory backbenchers have kept their mouths shut.

Johnson making a statement will be pure theatre though.

 

[ncurd]

Censure motion allowed parliament will have a vote on Thursday to decide if Johnson lied or not to the house. He'll survive that if he doesn't resign between now then (fat chance) but every MP supporting him will be tarnished. So will force a few hands.

 

[Reiser99]

Yeah at this stage getting Conservative MPs to commit one way or another is important. Then as things continue to deteriorate as they likely are they'll have to answer to it and it will be powerful come election time.

 

[General Melchett]

Apparently Johnson is planning to apologise and will suggest that we all 'move on' from partygate. Yeah right. A censure motion vote this week could quickly become out of date if he's handed a few more FPNs.

 

[ncurd]

Not quite a censure motion but whether to refer him to parliamentary standards committee. Same effect and it means further votes if he gets more FPNs.

As noted this mainly is about getting MPs like mine who won't say anything to nail their colours to a mast. Eventually they'll wake up and remove the fucker.
