ForenSix Opposition - Politics in the Soon To Be Former UK in Autumn 2020

Other than the fact that the PM shouldn't be heading off for a nice weekend away during a crisis I don't get what rules are supposed to have been broken that would justify lying about the whole thing? Italy isn't on the quarantine list, this isn't Barnard Castle all over again. So it's either a dodgy meeting or having his baby baptised as a Catholic during a particularly tricky period re: Northern Ireland.

maybe he was hired for another tennis match at short notice

I think it is 1) it plays nice if the answer to the Where’s Boris clamour from the right is “Lebedev’s villa in Italy” and 2) they have apparently held off making lockdown choices because No Cobra/No Boris. If lockdown was delayed, at a cost of lives, so himself could swan to Italy ...

President of #Perugia airport tells me #BorisJohnson ‘definitely’ did not come through here this month. Says original press release confused him with Tony Blair, who did #perugiagate

Oh boy, an emerging situation!

Wait a minute...there's no airport in Perugia!

his internet kept going down so Michael Fabricant sang Rule Britannia to fill the time

i somehow missed this profoundly cursed detail in the reports

this fucking country

In further 'nothing matters' news:

That’s the spirit, Matt, knew this thread would break you one day.

'confused him with Tony Blair'

Tony Blair, who did #perugiagate

Just another in the long list of his crimes.

The Chernukhin thing is of negligible interest imo but it's always nice to see Sul3yman K3rim0v in the news as it reminds me of the time he gave his mistress a couple of million quid to start a business selling $10k velour tracksuits.

meanwhile that pelugia christening in full:

I guess Zap Brannigan wasn't enough business on his own

zapp brannigan, the michael fabricant of the 30th century

i'm sorry, the 31st century

either way it seems certain that fabricant believes, as does brannigan, that the most erotic part of a woman is the boobies

This didn’t really work did it

It’s reported that Sunak is arguing against new lockdown measures. Maybe a little humility and hindsight may be warranted as there is an increasing suspicion that his Eat Out to Help Out scheme may well have contributed to Eat Out to Help Out to Spread Out the infection.

Maybe take a trip and listen to the racists to tell you how much they love all this too and chill.

who could possibly have foreseen &c &c xxp

Meanwhile in Italy

We’re at #Perugia airport, where its President tells us Boris Johnson has not recently travelled through. He’s checked passenger registry. Says airport worker meant to say Tony Blair, not Johnson, arrived on 13th Sept; left 14th. Only UK flights on 11th was Ryanair. None on 12th.

— Mark Lowen (@marklowen) September 21, 2020

Now... #Perugia airport has checked 12th Sept arrivals list again and there was indeed a flight from Farnborough that landed here. It had one passenger on board. Airport checking that person’s identity as we speak...

DISPOSABLE GRANDMAS OF HIPHOPRISY

"Don't kill granny" xp

Don't grandparents tend to be in support bubbles anyway? I thought that was basically what they were for.

🎵 whennn... the... ‘rone hits your gran
like a germ-ridden van
that’s..... the tories🎶

kinda lol but mostly sad

Btw here is the conclusion to "perugiagate"

President of #Perugia airport has checked with police and the association that manages non-commercial flights into this airport. The one passenger who flew in from Farnborough on Sep 12th was “a private citizen and not Boris Johnson”.

— Mark Lowen (@marklowen) September 21, 2020

after all this he'll think twice before he flies there again

i mean ever, before he flies there ever

Wish I had been executed before reading that tweet.

Rare moment for you on the wrong side of history.

Wait a second... Boris is Catholic?!?!

Yeah, there’s a lot of pennies just clanging down now, what of it. I didn’t realise he himself was raised Catholic either.

Boris Johnson, who was baptised a Roman Catholic, has baptised his own son at a Catholic church. There has *never* been an openly practising Catholic prime minister of the UK........... https://t.co/7yR2phMSET

"He could've been Pope, Ted..."

LOL at the idea the PM practices Catholicism. I mean, perhaps some aspects.

wth, I had no idea boris was catholic

if Biden wins we will rule the anglosphere

makes Blair's whole waiting until he got out of office to convert seem especially weak.

Catholicism is a lot more fun than Protestantism tbf, and also Blair was a convert and converts tend to be a lot weirder than the born-and-raised.

His Wikipedia page says he was baptised a Catholic but then later converted, but like that counts.

Brexitism

having looked into it he basically is an anglican, think the kid is being baptized catholic because of his partner

If this Perugia thing was confected then a lot of previously loyal media outlets enthusiastically ran with it.
