Many people I know still like him. Not think he’s a good prime minister just “the kind of bloke you could have a beer with”. They can’t see past the personality to the real harm he’s doing to the country.
We are doomed.
The government has been treating then public as if they were fools for a long time, they’re not gonna stop now. We aren’t even people to them, we’re just voting statistics
50% of the public are fools. 50% of the vote will more than likely win the Tories at the next election. It’s going to take a lot more than Johnsons inability to run the country in a non corrupt manner to change that. After all – he got Brexit done.
You have to admit, the tactic is working. Maybe you have to admit that a good part of the public consists of fools.
Why, they are fools.
People voted for him to be the Major of London and look at mess he made, the Garden Bridge being a great example.
Then 14 million people decide to complete ignore everything he had done previously, all his lies, getting the sack, cheating on his wife whilst she was recieving treatment for cancer, the mess he made as London Major and made him Prime Minister.
Even after everything him and his Government has done over the last 2 years many people still support Boris.
Then you have Brexit and the way the Tories have systematically destroyed everything that was good about the UK over the last decade.
So I ask, why shouldn’t they treat the British Public as fools?
If the last 5 years are anything to go by, the British public ARE fools.
I’m probably wrong about this. But I’d actually want Boris to stay as PM. Think his electability was overated before all of this and he could destroy this corrupt government completely. Think they red wall seats will largely swing back and and lib/con marginal will go Lin.
My guess is, if he went, they’d replace him with Sunak. Who could do better than Boris.
Tory ideology is just so ingrained into the public conscious.
The amount of people who don’t seem to care about 1) the excessive spending or 2) the tax raises due to excess spending is astonishing. Which, I agree, both of those things needed to happen – but – the difference is when labour did the exact same thing they ”bankrupted us”.
It really is just the media brainwashing people. It’s a sad state of affairs.
The public voted Brexit, Tory, and Boris. They **are** fools.
Perhaps the Guardian should also stop treating their readers as if they are fools. People have brains, they will make up their own minds, about stuff. What they don’t benefit from is a newspaper telling them what they should think.
The public are fools.
These people know that his supporters aren’t going to change their views.
All they have to do is give them an out. An excuse, a rationale and these people will do whatever they’re told.
