That short article connects the dots about a lot of what’s going on in the UK. Thanks for posting.
He did?
*Just like Trump, Boris made the dreams of the hardest of the hard right come true*
​
First claim, already bullshit lies, NHS and the BBC are both hiring non white personal, hell Boris’s Cabinet is the more BAME than Labour’s, if the claim “hardest of the hard right come true” Neither BBC or the NHS would being having diversity hires.
​
THAT alone, tells me everything I need to know about the article, Hard right? what is Left or Right? The hell is “Hard right” in regards to Boris? For so long I was told Far right was White supremacism, the fuck is “Hard right”? that’s a new one.
Well, he *tried* to break Britain. He will fail in that, just like his string of other failed endeavours, botches and dismissals. Thank god he’s fucking useless.
I like to hope the above is true anyway…
I feel like he continued what Farage started. I might be wrong on that, but that’s how it always came across to me.
Seems to me over the past 10 years or so significant factions in our ruling classes both here and in the USA seem to have given up on democracy as a failed experiment.
Trump created a cult, just look at what happened at Capitol. Boris is just one of many really bad politicians of his type, that both this country and the world had plenty of. He’s particularly embarrassing and helped one of the worst decisions the UK made (Brexit), but he’s not doing this Trump cult thing, perhaps Bolsonaro would be better comparison to Trump there.
Boris is nothing like trump. Seriously, yeah he might not be the greatest, but trump is pure evil in comparison
Give a little credit to David Cameron, he set this shitshow in motion.
A rather bad article that completely misses the point. Boris isn’t uniquely bad he is just a clown mask on the usual Tory awfulness. That mask won them an election and is now looking like it’s going to be discarded.
Johnson is similar to Trump in some ways, but has had no where near the same effect. Trump has a cult like following and a stranglehold of the republican party, something like 10% believe he is secretly fighting off a cabal of paedophiles and satanists that control the US government for fuck sake. Does anyone imagine there will be thousands of people marching on downing street wanting to Hang Dominic Raab when Johnson gets pushed out?
As for his uniquely hard right agenda that he has enabled (given as Brexit, Privatising the NHS and dismantling the BBC), the latter two were started under the (more economically right wing) Cameron/Clegg government and as for Brexit all he did was push though May’s deal after winning enough seats to ignore the DUP and sell NI down the river.
It gets to a point where they seem to be doing it like an enemy of the state. Like they are invested in by governments outside their country. Remember when the name Boris was a slur for a Russian agent?
I feel like that’s a bit harsh. Trump fucked America. Hard-core, no safe word allowed, rough ugly bastard group sex fucked.
Boris sidled up to the UK at the bar, did the hover hand around the back, killed the vibe of the conversation, and then pissed off for cheese and wine.
Very hard to take an article super seriously where everything is in italics/bold/underlined everywhere for some reason! It’s just full of assertions without much substance. I’m not a fan of Boris but this article is a bit crap.
They’re just figureheads of greed. It doesn’t matter who it is, it’s what they represent.
Both countries were already broken but these two came in and did a bad job of hiding it.
Foreign manipulation, psyops and propaganda led to the voter base hankering for these populist clowns… This is war and Russia and China are winning, the “free” west is now in the firing line
Not just Boris. His party allowed it all to happen.
Never trust a Tory.
While he has personally done many terrible things which he deserves to answer for, in many ways Johnson is a symptom rather than a cause.
Would it be more accurate to say that after a decade of shit Tory policies people want a change so are dumping it all on Boris?
If not Boris then A.N. Other would have done it. The floor has fallen out from under politics where tabloid headlines get you elected or fired.
Boris didn’t break Britain; his elevation to PM is a symptom of a country already damaged. And we have forty years of economic policy to thank for that.
Boris didn’t gut our high streets. Boris didn’t turn housing in to a commodity. Boris didn’t marketise our public services. Boris didn’t produce an economy with the highest levels of inequality bar America.
All of that stuff was already happening and has been happening going back to the 80s. And the same goes for America too. Boris, like Trump, isn’t an an aberration. He’s continuation.
Boris is an idiot who devalues the role of PM. But his two year premiership, whilst risible, hasn’t suddenly broken Britain. That was already in the works.
Trump was a sign America was alresdy breaking. Possibly the same with Boris.
More accurate would be to say UK, ‘Britain’ did not elect Johnson.
Ken Clarke said in a recent interview that de Pfeffel isn’t a Conservative and it’s not a Conservative party any more … he’s an English nationalist with simplistic popular policies for a population that want easy answers to complex issues. ….” you know, morons….”
No he didn’t. The UK’s been broken for years. How else would he get into a position of leadership? It’s been a failure not of just the political system, but of political imagination, political leaders, media quality, etc.
He’s a symptom of a disease, but the UK will never understand that.
Try doing some actual research before you make claims like this.
IMO Boris, May and Cameron broke Britain far more than Trump broke America. The past decade, but especially the past 6 years, of Tory rule have changed Britain in a way that could not be undone – even if we had Labour/an actual left wing party in charge for a few years.
Russia / Ukraine will be his Munich Agreement downfall.
It’s actually the rise of China, which is always the elephant in the room
The individuals are just mere puppets with wider dynamics at work
It’s the thing with right wing populist leaders, they get their 15 minutes and the bubble bursts and down to earth they crash. Some just last longer than others. Some take a scandal, others require a full blown war to oust.
