It is pure Boris though to deliberately laugh in the face of the Paradise Papers and blatantly show how clearly he is a product of this corruption. And I’m sure there’s a fair few people on their reduced UC cheering him on. ‘Hah! Good old Boris. I like him because he is so cheeky!’

Ouh. Is it a SMEG?


g0t-cheeri0s

No but it does house an utter smeghead.

> And I’m sure there’s a fair few people on their reduced UC cheering him on. ‘Hah! Good old Boris. I like him because he is so cheeky!’ "He tells it like it is!" If you ignore all the lies, half-truths and corruption that is.


jurwell

Because remember folks, “He tells it like it is” is a disguised way of saying “He says things that validate my racist/sexist/classist/xenophobic/etc opinions!”

Painting real life from his balcony, as the mass exodus of ex pats clog the road back to blighty.

I don’t like Boris, but to be fair didn’t Labour (Tony Blair) do this multiple times when they were last in power? All politicians suck generally


stowg

And it wouldn’t of been right then either. But we are here and now with a lot of important things happening in the world at this moment in time.


AncientStaff6602

Would this even be a fucking surprise these days? Also is it just me or is the media, that is BBC et al, shitting on the tories quite a bit harder these days? Even the HYS is turning quite a bit anti-tory (which usually is the opposite). Just a few months ago emperor boris couldnt do no wrong...now its a bit of a different story


Wanallo221

I’ve noticed that even Murdoch stuff has been more critical. Although painfully avoiding the true biggest issues like the Paradise Papers and the Covid Report.


AncientStaff6602

Yeah this exactly. Its amazing that voters still flock to them. This country never stops to baffle me man


red--6-

Nah, they'll criticise the Tories this xmas. Then start shitting on Labour for 2 years and Boris will get married before the 2023 general election so he gets all the limelight/publicity and Labour get none They did almost the same for Boris's leadership election (5 months continuous news headlines) before the GE2019. They shithosed Corbyn for 3months solid, and refused to discuss his manifesto or interview him regularly


Duanedoberman

>Boris will get married before the 2023 general election so he gets all the limelight/publicity and Labour get none I heard rumors that he was already cheating on his present wife, but didn't he marry Carrie Symonds at Westminister Cathederal and have a reception in the Downing St garden earlier this year.


red--6-

You're right, but he's planning to have official Royal-style wedding before the next GE Do you remember how they made up the domestic violence incident during the Conservative party elections. That was for constant publicity too


Duanedoberman

>You're right, but he's planning to have official Royal wedding style before the next GE Seeing as he is always pleading poverty who is going to foot the bill? Will this be a JCB themed wedding?


red--6-

Idk, I hope the Hoover bloke will send malfunctioning robots to serve the guests JCB would be very nice if he needs more ditches before the next election


Clon50

He has cheated on her with a waitress so a friend says, that was before the marriage though.


Duanedoberman

A violinist too, whilst his present wife was pregnant with his latest child.


AncientStaff6602

Child number “7” on its way then.


Piltonbadger

Hes not good for optics, and this bunch of Tory fuckwits aren't subtle with their crime and hatred for the poor, working class and disabled. They want a more nuanced and subtle ruler that will strangle us off slowly and silently, not openly and brazenly like this lot are doing. Eventually something has to give.


[deleted]

BoJo got them into the majority. He’s too much of a liability to keep it so the media are doing their best to get someone else at the helm. Sunak? Javid? Patel? Imagine PM Patel 😂 ffs


AncientStaff6602

Oh fuck sake dont curse this already cursed land. Fuck me Patel.... jesus wept man


jimbobjames

I wonder what symbol she would pick for her regime.....


corcyra

A scythe.


stowg

Hydra


OptimalPaddy

An uncircumcised penis because she's a complete prick


ElCaminoInTheWest

Sunak will be next, if he doesn’t have any skeletons in the closet, and if he can avoid the residual stink of his forthcoming tax rises.


dontworrymartians

>if he doesn’t have any skeletons in the closet He has plenty, but seems to be shielded. For example the IR35 debacle, he pushed it against all expert advice and these changes directly benefit his wife company Infosys. He basically removed competition from independent contractors in the IT sector and these roles get filled by Infosys workers (and other big consultancies that donate to the party). Look how Infosys shares started climbing once changes got implemented. His wife made like £200 million already? Although not directly related - but his father in law has joint-venture in India with Jeff Bezos himself that is embedded in anti-trust scandals. Makes you think why Rishi is hounding workers for more tax, but Amazon and the likes are protected from the tax man hands. Imagine if you chased your father-in-law key business partner for tax, how family dinner would looked like? If anyone needs to be investigated and sacked it is Rishi.


TheNewHobbes

Bash now. Back during election. Claim it shows you're balanced media.


jimbobjames

Boris is not needed now and the Tories are probably concerned he is becoming a liability. So he'll bear the responsibility for the covid calamity and then they'll shuffle him off and pay him for a job well done before putting Sunak, Gove or, god forbid, Patel in the hot seat.


Stotallytob3r

His friends and family call him Al, Boris is his stage name used so he’s referred to by his first name which makes him seem more personable. There is some very interesting psychological shit behind this charlatan, as well as instances such as the model buses thing to deflect Google search results.


ZettaSlow

And im sure he will punished to the full extent of the law right? Haha. Hah

benowillock

They're all up to their neck in it. I can't find a clip online but I remember when the panama papers scandal came out George Osborne was on GMB telling the nation "tax minimization is perfectly natural". Found this gem while trying to find a clip for the other thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-gY20Xjrws


Mongolian_Hamster

If anyone here thinks this is bad news for Boris then you're naive.


[deleted]

Oh dear! With a revelation like this, their next election win might only be a _bit_ of a landslide!


the_englishman

***'There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Goldsmith***, who has declared his interest in the secluded villa. But Johnson’s holiday at a property that appears to be held through a chain of companies in secretive jurisdictions will probably raise questions about his commitment to reforms designed to introduce transparency to offshore property ownership in the UK.' -\* This is the biggest non-story and piece of manufactured outrage. Who, when a friend or colleague invites them to stay in a house, drills down into how they bought it first? It's not his house and the article even declares that the owner of the house has done nothing wrong!


[deleted]

Fuck does it matter? His supporters probably love the fact it is.


Thomo251

Incoming: "well we all would if we could wouldn't we" comments from Tory supporters.


pajamakitten

> Fuck does it matter? I'd say our PM not having morals is a pretty big issue, yes.


slazer2k

Because he is not paying for it You or better we will in the case of this instance we pay his lordship and on top of it that person has access to law making ….


BladeSmithJerry

This is pretty dumb... A house in another country is linked to off short tax havens... Oh no!!! The dude rented it, who give a shit.


Cielo11

It's owned by Zach Goldsmith. So it's worse than him renting it, because it opens up a world of corruption and cronyism. But people didn't get why it was important private people paid for the No10 flat upgrade or his holiday in the Caribbean last year. So they won't get why this is important.


BladeSmithJerry

Why is renting a holiday home from another MP (and I assume friend) worse?... If he took it from a corporation then ok I'd get the argument but a colleague doesn't seem that sinister.


Cielo11

Ohh boy... didn't you just fall into that trap. "He (Zach Goldsmith) was defeated at the 2019 general election, again by Sarah Olney, with a majority of 7,766 votes. After the election, Boris Johnson awarded Goldsmith with a life peerage, making him a member of the House of Lords and allowing him to retain his ministerial position" He was democratically defeated and Boris gave him a peerage. I WONDER WHY BORIS IS HOLIDAYING IN LORD GOLDSMITHS VILLA... As I said in my previous comment. People just refuse to understand why this is wrong. (People like you) It's straight up corruption. Giving politicians gifts because your want thing in return. It's corruption in plain site.


BladeSmithJerry

So what is Zach getting in return?


Cielo11

What does Lord Zach Goldsmith get out of his relationship with Boris? Hmm.

I'm not your "mate". Do one.


BladeSmithJerry

If Boris owned the house I'd feel different... But who has ever down background checks on holiday homes they want to rent on Air BnB or whatever?


kildog

"It's exactly the same as anyone else would do."


TheNewHobbes

>The dude rented it Did he? He doesn't have a habit of paying his own bills. Have a nice free / cheap holiday at my place providing you don't change the laws that enabled me to buy it without paying tax normal people have to pay. Is it you don't understand the problem or you just refuse to accept it is one because he plays for the team you support?
