[PVA]

He won - by a mile - his tactics worked - he wasn’t going to adopt the May approach was he?

Again, deflecting.

You said he never hides.

I listed a load of examples of him hiding.

You couldn't deny them in fact you basically agreed by saying 'yes he did hide and here's why'.


So we agree that he has form for hiding.

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

When did he go missing?

Hid in a fridge. Missed the Andrew Neil interview.

 

[PVA]

He can have been really ill and is still recuperating and his health should come first.

That also doesn't mean to say he (or his puppetmasters) won't delay his return longer than necessary so he returns when they have good news to shout thus psychologically distancing him in the minds of the electorate from the worst days but associating him with the good ones, making him look like a white night. He can then throw one of those filling in under the bus for poor performance (almost certainly Hancock) to look like he's taking action.

We will have to see when he returns but I do think it will just happen to coincide with good news.

Or if Cummings has it maybe he's not allowed out until daddy is there

Yes, that's exactly what I was saying.

Although they are fucking incompetent pricks they are not stupid and know how to work the optics.

Save Boris for when the numbers are dwindling and people will be clamouring for him to be knighted, even though he has the deaths of many on his hands.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

He was in a position of strength - that’s why he didn’t need to say a thing. Leaders in power and in the driving seat never ever look to weaken their position. He could have spent the whole election on holiday and would have won such was the dire state if Labour. He would have been stupid to do anything else. He ran a perfect campaign against a rag tag dumb opponent who had lost before the campaign even began

So you're agreeing he hid away for his own benefit.

He's so good that from a massive position of strength he couldn't be trusted to talk to a few people because he might shoot himslef in the foot and harm his own chances. What an amazing man to have in charge!

Yep Grendel thinks he's only slating Corbyn by suggesting Boris didn't need to do interviews.

What he doesn't realise is that he's also saying Boris could not be trusted to do any interviews because of the damage he could do.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

you’re a fucker, all I can think of now is a red faced Mark Francois in a Union Jack blazer saying “yes but would you rather be in Italy?”

Here he is clutching his favourite newspaper: 'we need a clock to celebrate'

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

You asked when has he hidden. Examples were given. Whether he does it for tactical reasons because no-one trusts him to do a basic interview (again, what a great example of a leader) is irrelevant. He hid.

Btw May hid as well - she didn't attend a leaders debate.

Might shoot himself in the foot?

Why do you say might? Once we can get back to politics Boris will be a liability. He won't be able to get through the next 54 months on a single punchline. Get Brexit done? Next must be let's fuck the NHS up.

He learned from the car crash May campaign. The fact is Johnson could have just sent one message Get Brexit Done and took a holiday - his strategy won. If he started 10 points adrift he’d have been everywhere frantically trying to catch up ground. That’s oddly politics.

Deflect deflect!

Nah it's Make Big Ben Bong for Brexit (if it's been fixed)

This place is literally now a kindergarten - I’ll leave all you children to have a lovely evening - don’t stay up too late will you

 

[clint van damme]

We still live in a world where to openly rebel against the leader at a time of national crisis would work negatively against the opposition among the people as a whole. It'd be a disaster for Starmer.

He missed an open goal when Hancock tried to throw NHS staff under the bus regarding PPE.
He should of said I don't want to politicise this but I can't stand by and see our wonderful doctors and nurses blamed for the lack of equipment etc. Couldn't have failed
Instead he made an end of lockdown statement which has been praised by the Adam Smith institute. I think we can see where this is going.

Stop acting like it wasn't Cummings running the whole show and telling him what to do and who to speak to

 

[Ian1779]

When has he actually gone missing when the going got tough? Jeremy Corbyn if course was missing for the whole Brexit referendum and the first to push Article 50

You spinning that bullshit line again...

And whilst on holiday he could have gone on a zip wire holding a Union Jack

 

[David O'Day]

If we were politicians:

PVA: Nick Clegg on crack
G: Mark Francois
Coventrian: Ian Paisley Snr
Dave O'Day: John Prescott

Only got 1 jag mate

[SIR ERNIE]

Again it’s because they are becoming increasingly agitated. The latest poll suggests 66% believe the government is doing a good job.

The thread is now a labour members only club. The accusation I’m a classic example of the DK effect from the classic sufferer is beyond parody. Still poor fellow is perhaps on cold turkey. David is a complete parody account all on his own. He likes the attention I guess. UKIP Tory Tony just likes - well likes. The only man who gets excited by Dave Johnson in a sleeping bag. BSB and Ian are caricature lefties and playing the parts well.
Invade the club with a cold hard dose of reality and it becomes like a momentum meeting where a moderate enters.
Not pretty.

<The thread is now a labour members only club.>
Haha yes it is but you can see why.

They’re all labour remainers; their party was trounced at the GE and faces the likelihood of at least 10 years in opposition. They’ve lost the Brexit battle (twice) and they’re already moaning about their new leader. They’ve effectively got no voice in parliament and no one in the country is interested in them. With a couple of exceptions, Clint is one imo, this lot come across as a bunch of desperately sad losers. A football forum is about the only place left for them to vent off. Leave them to it.

A big majority of the nurses and carers that you no doubt clapped for probably voted Labour.... you are right that the Tories and their supporters consider them irrelevant.

That's all great.

But the party you voted for are in power, have been for 10 years, and doctors and nurses are dying because of a lack of PPE because the government are utterly incompetent.

What are your thoughts on that?

We won Brexit so fuck them I imagine...

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Tories care more about winning than they do human life. It's their whole schtick. Some of them on here were against ever locking down as the 'economy is more important'. They'll come on here and pretend they give a shit but they really don't.

Also, good to see our glorious leader did such a great job in preparing us for this crisis. Borissssss ladddddddd!!!! Can't wait for that morale boost when he comes back.



Feels so good to have a bloke in charge who couldn't be arsed to turn up to meetings because he wanted to go on country breaks and not work weekends. I'm sure this'll be met with a wall of silence from the Tory boys, or better yet they'll try and accuse the Sunday Times of having a 'leftie' agenda.

EDIT: Nevermind, just read back on some of the last few pages. Can see that the selective vision of our resident Tory boys has already been in full effect.

If you work out how to do it then you can let hundreds of bewildered blokes know.

Not sure about the “oooh scary ASI” stuff, but the Hancock PPE thing was indeed an open goal.

Im not sure I’ve ever seen Starmer on the attack now I think about it.

Loving the meltdowns from Grendel and Ernie.

Absolutely obsessed, and coming onto a football forum to say how people who go on football forums are losers, or simultaneously saying how everyone is Labour but no one cares about Labour:
