Spaffer: in this image we see a delighted Boris Johnson signifying his joy at being able to throw money belonging to the people of the UK at any damnfool plot that lands in his empty head.

When is Boris Johnson going to stop spending our money on tat?

His latest vanity project – a replacement for the Royal Yacht Britannia that nobody who works for a living has ever missed – has just been launched with an announcement that it could cost one-fifth more, even, than the hugely inflated £200 million bill that’s already been pushed at us.

Someone realised that this might not be popular after the Tories spaffed the GDP of half the world on hastily-made-up fake firms run by their cronies for Covid-19-related equipment that they failed to supply so they got a reassuring comment from a top minister.

Unfortunately, the minister who commented was notorious liar and part-time prime minister Boris Johnson.

According to The Independent, Johnson “denied his plan to spend up to £250m on a new royal yacht is a waste of money” – so now we know for sure that it is a colossal waste of money.

And he said it would allow the UK to “show off” to the world. But what do we have to crow about? The monumental number of our own population that Johnson has managed to kill by cocking up his Covid-19 response? The spectacular economic incompetence of Brexit that has left our supermarkets with more empty shelves than infamous Soviet store GUM? The astonishing waste of money on Johnson’s vanity projects?

Yes, that last one seems likely.

Here’s a short list of some of Johnson’s other vanity projects:

If this silly boat gets launched – beyond the project launch that just happened, I mean – at least our foreign friends will be able to see Johnson coming – and run away.

As for those of us who can’t get away from the lying parasite… Well, according to Will Thorpe, above, he has already – by himself – cost the public purse very nearly £580 million.

From now on, every time he appears in public, let’s ask him to pay that money back, from his own personal bank account(s).
