One minute he is “yesterday’s man” the next you claim he has Post Menstrual Syndrome. Is there nothing that Boris hasn’t done? He is starting to sound like an over achiever.
PMS stands for premenstrual syndrome, a condition that can occur in women several days before the start of their period. Symptoms of PMS can include emotional changes, such as depression or irritability, and physical changes, such as bloating and soreness.
It has long been a hallmark of the U.K. prime minister’s governing style to duck questions or even make statements which later turn out not to be entirely accurate. Johnson’s tendency to prolong a crisis at times angers and frustrates colleagues.
Here are 7 other times Johnson’s fumbled the fallout of a scandal since he won power in a landslide election victory almost two years ago .
When he claimed money probing child abuse was ‘spaffed up a wall’
In March 2019, Boris Johnson said police spending on child sexual abuse investigations was “spaffed up a wall”.
He said: "Keeping numbers high on the streets is certainly important. But it depends where you spend the money and where you deploy the officers.
"And one comment I would make is I think an awful lot of money and an awful lot of police time now goes into these historic offences and all this malarkey.
“You know, £60 million I saw was being spaffed up a wall on some investigation into historic child abuse.”
The NSPCC said the former Foreign Secretary’s language was “crass.”
I dislike this notion as it seems to normalise very poor behaviour - as in its ok that the PM lied because they all lie. And therefore we should simply accept it. Does that not seem a dismal way of thinking and a way of simply letting liars off the hook? So lets not accept lies.
Having said that, in sense you are right. The real issue with the PM is not the lying. The issue the atrocious lack of judgement in the lying: we had no parties, err ok the parties stuck by the rules, ah but I did not attend the parties, etc. etc. The lies were bad, but the incompetent judgement on his excuses said a lot more about the abilities of the man.
