Say what you are really thinking.

Following weeks of revelations that No. 10 has repeatedly broken the Coronovirus restrictions they imposed on the rest of the country, one news outlet was out canvassing people for their reactions and got something slightly unexpected when they spoke to one elderly Scottish woman.

QuoteA Scottish woman has let her thoughts on the Prime Minister be known, saying that Boris Johnson needs a "kick up the ar*e" on live television.

Channel 4 News was reporting from Selkirk on the Scottish Borders asking locals what they thought about the Prime Minister and his recent party scandal.

A reporter with a microphone approached one woman and asked: "Boris Johnson?"

The woman removed her glasses and responded: "Oh, he needs a kick up the a*se, him."

The reporter asked, "should he resign?". The woman replied: "Absolutely. But he'll not do the decent thing, will he?"

It comes as the Prime Minister faces pressure from MPs, including some from his own party, to resign for attending a 'BYOB' party in the garden of Number 10 in May 2020 during the lockdown.

It's fair to say the woman's views were shared by many others on social media, who reacted to the clip.

One person wrote: "So proud of the Scottish Borders."

Another commented: "Not all heroes wear capes..."

Someone else joked that Brenda from Bristol, whose famous words, "you're joking – not another one!" to another general election, should move over.

They wrote: "Brenda from Bristol, move over."

At PMQs this week , Johnson admitted to attending a gathering but insisted he believed it to be a work event.

It is alleged over 100 people were invited by email. At the time, lockdown rules meant you could meet with just one other person outdoors and all indoor gatherings were banned.

Many prominent SA people have also been caught breaking the restriction rules: it's always the "one rule for us, another rule for them" nonsense, not to mention corrupt people who have profited off the pandemic 🤬💀

It drives me f**king nuts when the same people who impose restrictions refuse to live by the same restrictions.  Take for example Gov. Newsom of California.  He wanted Californians to endure all sorts of restrictions but then went to the French Laundry and flouted these restrictions.  I have a real problem with leaders who ask things of people they themselves are unwilling to do or endure.  Back in my team lead days I would not ask anything of anyone that I wasn't willing to endure or sacrifice himself, so I figure if the recall went through he would've had no one to blame but himself.

I watched BJ flop around flat-footed on PMQ, caught bang to rights in his hypocrisy, and I thought what a jerk.

The rumour making the rounds is that BJ has  a 'secret' operation to save himself by throwing some other politicians under the bus. The name of this exercise is Operation Save Big Dog.

Thanks.  So much for sleeping tonight with that mental image rummaging around in my head.

A little too tragic to be deeply funny, but apt.

I had a good chuckle when I saw that one.
