Johnson is off the charts insane and now descending in conspiracy theory nonsense. Time to stick the deranged fool into a padded cell so he can waffle & pontificate, and dribble all over himself to his hearts content.

No, I didn't. And thank you for pointing out my error. It means a lot.

TaiwanIsNotChina,
Everyone is talking about Minsk but what does it mean for Ukraine?
If Ukraine accepts Russia’s interpretation of the Minsk Agreements it could face indefinite Russian influence in its affairs and an internal backlash

It was none other that Emmanuel Macron that insisted pointed to the 2015 Minsk Agreements between Kyiv and Moscow as the "blueprint" for a political breakthrough a lasting peace,
It played right into Putin agenda, his irregular murdering mercenaries should have been expelled.
Johnsons government was left little choice.

Russia violated Minsk II and then did an illegal invasion. Hard to see how Macron is responsible for that.

The above straight from a Telegraph post from the Kremlin?

What a complete and utter idiot.

Agree with Boris Johnson personal enmity where Macron is concerned.
Boris said Macron was ‘Putin’s lickspittle’ and a (naughty word beginning with c) ,’ ex-aide claims

Macron is at the very least partially responsible for the hell hole that is the war in Ukraine, (Minsk II)

No, they didn't. Camperdown was earlier century and the last all were Allies.

First and foremost Boris Johnson is monetarizing his memoirs.
Embellishment of the facts is front centre.
Boris Johnson may have daydreamed a deranged scenario of a Boris "Commando" Johnson team doing a "Rambo" past Holland complex system of canals/windmills to liberate quote "raid a Dutch factory to get COVID vaccines"
Will always be nothing more than a figment of Johnsons rather disturbed imagination to sell his "snake oil" in print.

Thankfully that gem of a tale is nonsense so we don't have to spend anymore time on it.

I thought the bridge to Northern Ireland was his dumbest idea, but invading Holland now takes the crown.

Boris is a terrible politician. He is also the one who flew to Istanbul to sabotage the UKR-Russia deal that had been reached and would have prevented this current war.

Fifth Anglo-Dutch War when?

Typical overly-emotional, hysterical response, likely generated out of your mother's basement in Goldborne.

50/1 on that being relevant.

You fully bought into the movement though.
Anyway, the big news is that Israel took out Nasrallah.

If you're looking for this book, probably best to check out the children's fiction section.

What. An. Idiot.

Boris said pulling out of the EU would provide 350 million a week for the NHS.
"The £350m pledge was a key element of the Vote Leave campaign's promise to voters, billed as money that would be saved after leaving the EU which could instead."
It never happened.

Johnson needs to go to prison, if this is confirmed. First, he pulled out the EU despite most people not wanting it. Not a crime. Then he demands Britan get everything from the EU despite pulling out, and when they don't, he plans this. THAT is a crime. Let's hope the UK continues to suffer and remember what a mistake they made, until they remedy it.

Where is Hijimei? Did you mean Hajime?
Was Boris planning to raid them?
"Oh yeah. I hope the other Brits we know don't get tainted by the "porky pie joker of the bunch" brush."
I don't even understand that sentence. Does anyone?
Burning Bush
Oh yeah. I hope the other Brits we know don't get tainted by the "porky pie joker of the bunch" brush.
Anyone been to Osaka or Hijimei lately? Oh er missus...

I don't believe a single word that comes out of this liar's mouth. He has a history of telling porkies. And this guy, at the behest of USA, stopped the comedian from signing a peace deal one month after the conflict started in 2022. Why are we still hearing from this buffoon?
factchecker
The liar, loser and charletan is so dense whatever 'raid' he'd planned would have hit Denmark or Belgium.
Jimizo
Hard to take anything seriously from this pathological liar.
This ridiculous person lowered the tone of British politics and then we got Liz Truss.
Damn the Tories for that. Absolute joke.
Some idiots have been screaming ‘Starmer out!’ after a few months. I have my criticisms but I’m not 5 years old.
Just remember what the Tories gave us and the mess they left behind them.
Burning Bush
What a gas bag! Fool Britannia. GB's very own Trump. Embarrassing.

It's no big deal if just for one term. We survived.

Johnson thought it was covert rather than Covid.

"I secretly agreed with what they all thought but did not want to say aloud: that the whole thing was nuts," Johnson said
Boris has been watching too many action movies.

And you wondered why the UK is a shadow of its formal self?? Such a lunatic, politely, was elected leader.

scandal: an action that causes a public feeling of shock and strong moral disapproval
oh dear!!

Boris Johnso is a bully leader and thinks that the world should follow whatever he says.
