James Cameron and Tony Blair did the exact same thing. Blair owns about a dozen country estates, and his son set up a PLC/LLC for the elite to invest their assets. Cameron skipped off to the French Riviera as soon as his PM ended. It's a club, based on silence and payouts.

How do the two compare? They don't. Regardless, Boris should go to jail for negligent manslaughter for his part in 1000s of needless carehome deaths, and blantant corrupt misallocation of public funds during Covid. He should have 2 life sentences, and Hancock and Sunak should have at least 1 each! When did Starmer waste billions of taxpayer money on unusable PPE and tracking apps? And when did he needlessly cause 1000s of people to die in a completely avoidable way? He didn't you disingenuous little gremlin.

Another Johnson, the one born in Lichfield more than a few years ago, famously said something about Patriotism being the last refuge of a scoundrel. Goodness, he certainly foresaw the current Johnson's modus operandi by more than a few hundred years. Consider too, our current Johnson was born in the US of A, so in theory BoJo could lawfully run for President. Hold that ghastly thought. He certainly bears comparison with Biden's immediate predecessor! A can of Bright Orange skin dye, and who could tell them apart? Same whiny lie too. To quote K Williams "Infamy ! Infamy ! They've all got it in for me!

I challenge you to explain which parts are "bilge" and why? If you're a Johnson supporter there's pages and pages of bilge from him so you should be qualified to spot it.
So in his entire time all he did was a railway in London, which started before him and ended after him and 1 hospital that may be completed in the future also in London and that is all he did in his whole tenure, as Prime Minister and Mayor

We’ll be saying the same about Labour in ten years, and the circle will continue. I’ve no love for the tories, but if you think it will change much when Labour get in, it won’t. Labour will have the same problem the tories have, there’s not enough going in to fund this country’s needs. They might increase taxes to the wealthy, but will gloss over the consequences. Honesty, integrity, ethics, and morality are pushed out of political parties be they left or right. Maybe it’ll be different this time, we can only hope.
