Two subjects – a Boris blunder and political correctness

(weekend blog)

Oooops Boris – I bet you wish you hadn’t written that!

Personally I believe that Boris Johnson – love him or hate him – is the only candidate for Tory Party leadership who can save the Tories from electoral oblivion. We all know Boris’s character flaws. But he’s also optimistic, charismatic and an excellent communicator. To be a successful prime minister, he needs to surround himself with a team that can counterbalance his many weaknesses. But he’s head and shoulders above the boring, grey, characterless political pygmies also vying for the leadership.

However, having been a journalist for many years, Boris has written many things that might turn round and bite him in the arse. Here’s just one. This is from 2007 when Johnson lambasted the Labour Party for replacing Blair with Brown. At the time Johnson criticised this for being undemocratic and demanded a general election:

“It’s the arrogance It’s the contempt. That’s what gets me. It’s Gordon Brown’s apparent belief that he can just trample on the democratic will of the British people. It’s at moments like this that I think the political world has gone mad, and I am alone in detecting the gigantic fraud…. They voted for Tony and yet they now get Gordon, and a transition about as democratically proper as the transition from Claudius to Nero. It is a scandal. Why are we all conniving in this stitch-up? This nothing less than a palace coup…. The extraordinary thing is that it looks as though he will now be in 10 Downing Street for three years, and without a mandate from the British people. No-one elected Gordon Brown as Prime Minister. Gordon Brown could appease public indignation over that, and secure the democratic mandate he needs, by asking the public to vote at once on him… Let’s have an election without delay” Boris Johnson, 2007

Ooops Boris – I bet you wish you’d never written that!

Political correctness gone mad?

You’ve probably all read that the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has just issued a ban on any advertising that features what the ASA experts believe are “harmful racial or sexual stereotypes”.

I guess that means from now on, all couples featured in ads will be mixed race:

And all children featured will also be non-white with a great mass of curly hair:

I, of course, being a totally brain-dead, offended-by-anything, snowflake libtard totally support this draconian clamp-down on free speech. So you can imagine my shock and horror when someone told me the following joke. I was like a million trillion percent offended and suffered from immediate PTSD.

Anyway, here’s the joke that offended me totally due to its racial and sexual stereotypes. I’m sure you’ll all be as offended and shocked as I was:

After no dates or sex for 5 years a woman goes to see Chinese expert sex therapist Dr Chang.

He says “Harro! take off all you croase, get down and craw reery reery fast to otherside loom”.

She does this.

“OK craw reery reery fast back” Dr Chang says.

As she did, Dr Chang shook his head sadly. “You probrem velly velly bad, worse case of Ed Zachary disease I ever sor”.

Shocked the woman asked, “OMG! OMG! what’s Ed Zachary disease?”

Dr Chang replies, “it when you face look Ed Zachary like you arse. Dat why you got no man”.

    I hardly think that Boris made a blunder when every politician seems to say the same when their party is not in power. Oddly nobody seems to care when the opposition party leader changes. Many voters also refer to electing a PM. The fact is that voters do not elect Prime Ministers. We elect a representative to parliament. The political parties determine how their leader is chosen and the leader becomes PM. The leader must have the support of the party so if the voters elected the PM we could have more chaos than now. My understanding is also that after an election the sitting PM can attempt to form a government regardless of the election result. Brown tried to do this even though he had fewer MPs than the Tories.

    The latest ASA rule is utter nonsense. Fortunately they haven’t ruled out stupid behaviour. That would mean no adverts. Imagine if the same thing did apply to comedy. That would end many careers; Jo Brand comes to mind.

    Interesting to hear Muhammad Ali’s views on mixed race coupling.
    Had he been a white athlete making similar comments it would have been a career ending interview.
    Incidentally, he always seemed to be oblivious to the fact that he could claim he was so ‘pretty’ compared to the likes of Frazier and Liston – was the fact he had some white (Irish) blood from his ancestry in his genes.
    And who can forget his reply when asked what he thought about Africa when he was there to fight Foreman: “I’m glad my grandpappy got on that boat!”

    I note that the scumbag you mentioned was revealed to
    be a 79 year old Brit called Charles Edward Coote.

    slightly off topic but have you seen the story of Alan Roddis (Peterborough labour activist) who claims to have burnt over 1000 Brexit Party ballot papers?

    Now that what we say is punishable by law if it offensive to someone we can be assured that society will be much more harmonious, we will be free from victimization, hatred, and blissfully buffered from reality.
    But I don’t believe the government is doing enough in this respect as the following incident demonstrates: I was in the queue at the supermarket checkout yesterday and I got the distinct feeling that the person behind me was having hate thoughts about my transgender status, which I recently adopted in preference to my previous trans-species status after seeing its popularity in the news. Anyway, I had the chilling notion this person would do me serious harm if we met in a dark alley, I was severely traumatized. It wasn’t what was said, it was what was unsaid that I found so profoundly disturbing. Isn’t it time the government did something about this appalling rise in thought crime?
