Is anyone paying much attention this? I haven't really dug into why so many are resigning, but it's interesting to say the least.

Evidently a gov official (Chris Pincher) resigned because he'd been accused of groping two different men. Boris or his staff evidently changed the official story about what was known a couple times. Looks bad for Johnson because it looks like Johnson or his staff ignored accusations of misconduct.

Yikes!

Yet again, conservatives showing a commitment to adhere to principles, regardless of which side of the pond we are on.

Now contrast this, Tom, from the behavior from the "Hunter, who's Hunter" approach of our "See no Evil (at least not on our side)" progressives?

Can you show me on this doll where Hunter touched you inappropriately?

he cucked out on covid and didnt handle brexit correctly.

they all hate him like we do biden*

Looks like Johnson has known about Pincher's behavior going back more than a decade. He evidently lied to his cabinet, so they are resigning now. Guess I'll have to go watch today's PRime Minister's Questions.

*Kamala Harris reads Johnson's figures, looks at staffer*

"I can beat that, hold my knee pads", she cackles.

Wish we had a system where it was more common for failing leaders to get this kind of pressure to step aside. Need it now more than we have in a long time.

Seems BoJo has a bit of “misconduct” to answer for himself.

Not done much reading up on it, but sounds like he’s been getting his Newsome on while saying something else.

Can’t figure this guy out. Not much of a “conservative” either.

I think the way I understood is a conservative here isn't a conservative there.

European conservative is very different than American conservative. Just like European left wing people make our left wingers look centrist or right wing

As far as BoJo, I still have a hard time with any country electing a leader who does not know how to use a comb.

European politics typically have three wings:

Conservatives - these are the people who supported absolute monarchies, and still support powerful central governments; they tend to combine church and state (harking back to the Divine Right of kings)

Labor - these are the socialists/communists; they tend to combine the economy and the state

Liberal - classical liberals, basically what we call libertarians in the USA; small government, maximum individual liberties and freedoms, both personal and economic; they tend to want church, state, and the economy kept separate

Yea, I sorta get that.

Guess when I look for a European “conservative” I harken back to the days of Maggie Thatcher. Guess those days are over, unfortunately.

I don't have your same affinity for dolls, Tom, but the one you show appears to already have had its wallet confiscated and sense of justice obliterated. That's pretty much where Hunter hurt me (and pretty much every other betrayed taxpayer).

If he did something illegal or that he can be removed for or should resign over then he needs to go. If it's just a bs reason for his opponents to try to run him out,, he should fight it.
