I might write to my MP and suggest she table a private member's bill, giving full legal status to the queue.
Keir Starmer could include it in the next party manifesto, delivering it from a podium, in front of the union flag ...

Although if they are taking the angle that he "criticised the civil service" for not creating Peppa Pig, he actually criticised every government in the world.

6thformchat. Folk in the recent 1922 committee were rolling their eyes when Boris rolled out the jaunty idiot act. His reference to "Get Brexit done" brought a dmattering of applause.
His own party are sick of the very, very staged act. Especially the younger MPs who are finding it hard to deal with.
constituent: "I'm using a food bank, can't get an appointment with a GP". MP: "yes but did you notice when Boris stole the use-old-words bit from Mr Burns and shoehorned a reference to a kids TV show into a speech recently. He's going to get stuck in a ladder soon, what japes".

I don't mind Boris Johnson being a shambles. I don't like the removal of people's citizenship. The worst thing about him acting like a shambles is that it puts a bumbling but genial face on what the government is doing ...

I actually put Boris Johnson above David Cameron on my own personal Ethics and Utility Index (EUI).
David Cameron embodied the banality of evil. Not that his essence was evil, or that he necessarily meant for evil things to happen. Just that he blithely enacted quite awful policies - with evil results* ...
The new citizenship thing is really monstrous, and Brexit is very very bad, But ... it's all seeded by David Cameron, the stinkhorn ...
* I don't really believe in evil ...

If you don't believe in evil then there is also no such thing as good pretty much by definition.

I meant metaphysical evil really. Just that there's that term isn't there? The banality of evil ...
I should have said the banality of badness.

Wait, if we all pay the increased NI costs for the next 30 odd years do we still still get hit with these lifetime care costs if we need them later on in life? Seems a bit unfair to be hit twice.

Who is worse?
Boris Johnson or Morrissey?
I actually think Morrissey would be a worse prime minister. It brings me no happiness to say that ...

Would Johnson make a good front man for The Smiths though? Swings and roundabouts.

It seems the best way to deal with this is to have no money at all.
I'll be cackling through broken teeth as I'm wheeled up the nursing home ramp.
I would accept a Dignitas gift voucher.
