This is total shite ...
There was a resignation statement. He was being “forced out of Parliament” over Partygate. The Privileges Committee was a “kangaroo court” whose intention “has been to find me guilty, regardless of the facts”. Its report was “riddled with inaccuracies and reeks of prejudice … They have still not produced a shred of evidence that I knowingly or recklessly misled the Commons … I did not lie”. He didn’t? Why change the habit of a lifetime?
This was total crap, as was his claim that a committee made up of democratically elected MPs was “anti-democratic”. He was finished. But his pals in the right-leaning part of our free and fearless press were still prepared to publish his lies as if they were fact - especially the Sun and Mail.
At the former title, the odious flannelled fool Master Harry Cole, who claims to be a real journalist, told readers “A RAGING Boris Johnson last night sensationally quit as an MP after learning the findings of a ‘kangaroo court’ inquiry into Partygate … The ex-PM said he was ‘bewildered and appalled’ at the anti-democratic way he had been forced out”. The Mail was worse.
“Ex-PM quits as MP with blast at ‘kangaroo court’ … He says his ousting sets a ‘dangerous an unsettling precedent’ … Claims ‘political hitjob’ is revenge for Brexit … And attacks Tories for ‘endlessly’ putting up tax”. The freezing of tax thresholds took place when he was PM. His successor is a Brexiteer. The press is not reporting fact. It is printing the legend. And it’s complete shite.
He was sacked from his first job in journalism for lying. He was made editor of the Spectator on condition that he would not run for Parliament. He then ran for Parliament. He was sacked from the Tory front bench - for lying. His supposedly stellar time as London’s very occasional Mayor was nothing of the sort, with Sadiq Khan being left to clear up the mess.
... and this is even more totally shite
There was the vanity cable car across the river, now with no regular users. As well as the New Bus For London, not a Routemaster, overweight, overpriced and of which a thousand had to be acquired before TfL could secure the intellectual property rights on it. The NB4L’s air cooling was inadequate and all 1,000 have had to be modified with opening windows.
He bought water cannons. They were never used. We now know that his on-off mistress Jennifer Arcuri secured significant loans while Bozo was Mayor. He lied about his relationship with her. He lied when promising not to close any Tube ticket offices, then closed every one of them. He courted the Taxi trade, then sold them out to Uber. And screwed TfL’s finances.
George Osborne persuaded Bozo to give up TfL’s subsidy. Sadiq Khan got the blame for trying to sort it out. As Prime Minister he kept on lying, and his press pals kept on printing the legend. He lied about the cost of EU membership. He lied to the Northern Ireland business community about his Brexit deal. And he lied about what he oversaw during the pandemic.
The UK locked down too late. Many tens of thousands most likely died as a consequence. Bozo lied about Covid’s severity. And while We The People stuck to social distancing rules, delayed family visits, put off travel plans, and even obeyed the diktat not to visit elderly relatives in hospitals and care homes, he turned 10 Downing Street into Party Central. And lied about it.
Still the right-wing press defended him, as it defends him still. He may have been an SOB, but he was their SOB. Instead, the Mail thunders “THERE will be sanctimonious crowing today from Boris’s enemies, that unholy alliance of Leftist loudmouths, hand-wringing liberals and embittered Remainers. But he can hold his head high. His everyman vision was genuinely inspiring”.
Yeah, right: billions sprayed up the wall on PPE contracts for his pals, a country progressively more impoverished as Brexit bites, the UK’s influence in the wider world shredded, the NHS on the verge of collapse, and it’s all someone else’s fault, nothing to do with Bozo the lying narcissist, the monumentally lazy, sexually incontinent, national wrecking ball.
He should never have been allowed anywhere near power. That is all.

I must say Bozo leaving on top of Dorries, as it were, is enough comedy to last a few days before returning to the reality of the trail of damage they leave behind. As does the Murdoch Scum and the Rothermere Daily Heil.
Next up, a Reichstag Fire or Operation Northwoods.
And so the hard-right will now promulgate a very English version of the Dolchstoßlegende, only where the Nazis had Jews, Socialists and democrats as the perpetrators, the Heil, the Scum and the Times will have Remainers, 'Leftists' (by which they somehow mean the Starmer clique) and 'liberals' (by which they mean just about everyone else).
Just as Labour rightists spent years desperately pining for the return of the Upper Milliband, so too now will the froth-lipped jackals of the Tory party have their own 'Prince Over The Water', and will long for hia return, whatever that would mean for the rest of us, and for democracy itself.
imagine Johnson walking around his Uxbridge constituency in 18 months time defending a 7000 majority which tactical voting could easily overturn.
Imagine him walking through jeering crowds.
Imagine him losing.
His resignation means he has avoided that.
It was also well-timed. When you want 48-hour coverage of your news always announce it on a Friday evening---in time for all the Saturday newspapers/TV/Radio to carry the story.
Sunday's media then analyse the fall-out from the story.
People have more time at the weekend to read newspapers / watch TV news / listen to the radio. It all makes for bigger coverage.
He trusted the instincts of the people over the Establishment - and was never forgiven for it: As Boris Johnson resigns from Parliament the nation has lost a transformative political genius whose like we shall not see again, DANIEL JOHNSON writes

Pass me a bucket someone.
Good riddance to the loathsome pallid feral hog.
Scarlett O'Hara could only dream of a flounce like that.
He'll hang around like a bad smell.
Until one of his public school spiv chums pays him bribe amounts to "write" the usual tedious far right propaganda shite. The rest of far right corporate media will dub this "colourful", "controversial", "charismatic" and all the other cack they smear into the minds of gullible flag-waving Little Englander mugs and corner shop Mister Micawbers.
Once he's gone there'll be a similar clown replacement. It's what the public school system is for.
Funny how the Tories and the right in general love to tell the rest of us to take responsibility for our actions. Yet, when it comes to Johnson, it's always some other bugger's fault! Yet another case of Betrayal, Denial and Victimhood from the brexity right.
And it's only plebs and proles who are excoriated for being incapable of keeping their tackle in their trousers.
