I think we may need to consider the possibility that he’s exactly what he appears to be.
It is a shame that Johnson couldn’t complete his term. This election was his and he didn’t finish his entire term. No legacy just instability.

Not clever enough mate. Even Hitler would’ve had the common sense not to party during the pandemic.
I do wonder how the history books will report this period of history, from 2008 onwards.
The queen doubled her lifetime prime ministers in that time, and we had some truly insane leaders whilst the country fell apart.
More like the king’s fool. He is perfect counter example to ‘I think, therefore I am,’ in that he is not a leader with brilliant ideas; he is just a bully who refuses to listen to anyone who disagrees with him.
What was it? 62 resignations?
This is Boris Johnson’s legacy. He’s the only Tory Prime Minister who caused a Tory government to go on strike.
Not even Margaret Thatcher managed that.
Doesn’t everyone just assume every politician has mad delusions of grandeur and wants to be god king? I can’t imagine any other type of person wanting to get into serious politics.
>”I am the Führer!”
So… when he said he wanted to emulate that great WW2 leader, he *wasn’t* talking about Churchill?
> ”I am the Führer!”
Whoever jokes like this has no compass, moral or otherwise.
Pretty sure that’s treason right there Boris, might wanna watch out kings have killed for less you know.
Imagine this loon thinks he’s the heir apparent to winisteon Churchill. He has a complicated legacy. But he would have wiped the floor with him. In terms of character, wit and political Knowledge
That he goes to führer first says volumes about how he thought of himself.
There is something interesting about this book and its timing. Are Boris and Carrie getting divorced soon? It’s sad that their kids would not have a functioning family. Blaming Carrie on a book? What is he thinking?
He managed to become PM and implemented brexit. In his own way, he made history. I think that most of his persona is crafted, like Trump’s, Jacob Rees Mogg’s etc. Obviously, some skills are innate, like the talent to lie and improvise in front of a crowd (,not always successfully, see Peppa Pig). Boris won the elections, given the system (with all its flaws); problem is the electorate … why do they fall for these TV celebrities? Because they are good in political competitions, totally useless at government, which requires completely different skills. In fact their style of government is through three words slogans, like they were perpetually fighting the next elections.
I would like a large format book containing nothing but full page pictures of Boris so I can use several pages at a time to light the fire when need to.
Ah, yes. We all recall Durchführung “Grosserhund-retten”
It seems like the relationship between Dominic Cummings and Boris Johnson was so cartoon-like it would never have passed as a sub plot in Yes Minister…
