The man was never fit for purpose , lied to parliament, lied to the people. If you ever listened to his answers to direct questions , especially when under a bit of scrutiny, he just rambled nonesense.
Oh my, is it really 17 years? I never forgot that day. Hubby had caught a train to Aldgate and was walking to the office from there..... the phone lines were all turned off and it was 8 hours before I heard whether he was caught in it or had made it safely in to work. Horrific tragedy that day. He was safe, by the way. I travelled through there on the train a few weeks later and there was still a very strong smell of smoke in the tunnel.
As for Boris, I think he was the right person to finish the job once it was started on Brexit and did a better job (initially) on cheering people in a pandemic than Theresa May would have done, but he has rather shot himself in the foot with all his indiscretions and errors that have now come out. Aye me, modern politics is a long way from ideal and I don't actually want ANY of the current parties but we will end up with something...... timely image and good diary shot.
Great shot for history….did you put that there? 🤣🤣. I’m with @casablanca! People loved his enthusiasm & buoyancy & people will look back & see he did accomplish much in the three years he was in office but he had to go….Politics has never been as interesting as in the last three years! We haven’t hear the last of Boris Johnson mark my words!!
@casablanca@happypat no I didn't put that there ha ha, a genuine find! As Pat will know I'm afraid I've never been a fan, not least because of being somewhat more to the leftish of our current administration 😀 so I have to say even though he's going I'm not hopeful of anyone more to my liking, but at least they should be better behaved 🤣
@casablanca A day I will never forget either, crystal clear images etched in my brain still, including queueing for the one remaining phone box on Camden High Street as all the phone networks had gone down - so that I could tell work I wasn't going to make it in. And then finding my way to the bus stop to make my way home and being asked by a bewildered chap there if I knew how to get back to Walthamstow. 'Just stay close to me' I said!
@boxplayer Ha ha Ayla… Boris had no attention to detail & could never make his mind up…. Not a trait for a PM…we need a serious contender but not a dull one…..please not a dull one…& a good speaker is an advantage. I have no preference for any… perhaps a woman this time?
As he's so fond of saying, surely 'leave means leave'?! Great photo to make the day, was such a relief. Now to try and get rid of the rest of those MP's who enabled Boris for so long....
