I have been watching Boris Johnston over the last week trying, yet again trying to find a “get out of jail free card” and on this occasion, he has failed, thankfully. It took a sexual predator, who the Prime Minister promoted and then lied that he had any knowledge of Pincher’s predatory behaviour, that finally brought him down. We all must thank Lord Simon McDonald a former senior civil servant who outed Boris, saying that he had briefed him that a complaint against Pincher over sexual misconduct had been upheld.
We all knew that Boris was not Prime Minister material, including the entire Tory Party and its membership. Boris was not even a real Brexiteer but was simply chosen as Tory leader to get Brexit Done. This worked, as he could lie with funny expressions, made being hostile to immigration respectable and elbowed Farage out of the Brexit limelight.
So, we got a scoundrel for a Prime minister who on occasions I defended, as not being our version of Trump, however over the last months watching his behaviour, I may have been over-generous on that front. His desire to cling to power was at best pathetic and damaging to both the Tory Party and the UK, internationally. All this, in the middle of the most disruptive geopolitical crisis since the end of WW2.
His defence of himself was pure narcissism, supported by sycophants like Bone, Raab, Dorries, Mogg, Barclay and a bunch of other new red wall Torys. He constantly invoked his personal mandate as if he was some sort of South American El Presidente. The UK is Parliamentary democracy where constituents vote for an MP and the leader of the party with the majority of MP’s gets to become PM. Simple as that. To be fair, Boris did get an impressive majority in 2019 based on lies, xenophobia and no small part, on the back of an unelectable Jeremy Corbyn.
Some Torys talk about his successes, one being the vaccine rollout and the other being Ukraine. The UK government’s response in support of Ukraine has been Churchillian for which Boris can take some credit. These simple goodies versus baddies foreign policy positions are right up Boris’s street.
However, his failures include an oven-ready Brexit which remains “Half Baked”, an economic policy that seems incoherent, not being on the level about the Levelling Up agenda, the Owen Patterson scandal, lies and scandal over party gate, lies over Pincher by name and Pincher by nature, the £150,000 tree house, the imaginary new hospital building program, all on top of two massive
by-election defeats. He also admitted when foreign secretary to meeting with ex KGB spy and Putin supporter Alexander Lebedev, without any officials, present. Anyone who had watched a spy movie or has read Le Carre would have known he was putting himself in a very “kompromat” position. All on top of a resignation speech that shows no contrition for his failings
Despite all of this, the Tory Party did not have the balls to get rid of him immediately, allowing him a 3 months transition until a new Tory leader is elected, in effect leaving the nut case in control of the asylum. This decision could yet come back to haunt us all. However, when a reporter asked a Tory voter her thoughts on Boris‘s departure, wait for it, “he is a very clever man” obviously said by a very stupid woman.
Finally, his legacy, as I see it excluding Ukraine, is that he got “Fuck All Else Done” so, please do the Nixonian thing, take a hike, enjoy the speaking circuit, I am sure there are some who will enjoy your bullshit.
