[Politics] Boris Johnson

Could do a job like Trump is. The PM does not need to be perfect. Just needs to set a mood and a strategy and let more talented people carry it out. He could do that. Trump did and Trump is still doing that regardless of what people think of him personally.

Evil genius.

This bumbling baffoon persona is an act designed to get people on side.

He's probably got a dark lair built into the side of Ben Nevis.

It pains me to say that I'd vote for him, if the choice was him or Corbyn. That's the equivalent of being told to choose between becoming a season ticket holder for Palace or Pompey. The state of British politics is quite frightening.

At least you could just choose not to go to the games if you had a season ticket. I'd say it's more like choosing between two STIs to be infected with. It's going to cause pain and irritation either way, and possibly f*** up your life.

Shame it wasn’t built then.

He’s an educated buffoon, an English Trump, with a level of intelligence but not quite as seedy and repulsive. However, he is infinitely preferable to the incompetent idiot Corbyn and his vile hangers on who have identified Jezza as being their once in a lifetime opportunity to wreak Trotskyist ruin on the country. An awful choice between two different evils, but I believe Boris will be the less destructive of the two. Time will tell.

But I won't forgive Benn for forcing through the electoral college system that, with minor changes, allowed Corbyn in. A vain man. I prefer his son.

Corbyn wasn't elected by the electoral college system, that was scrapped by Ed Miliband (ironically, given that he had that to thank for electing him). Corbyn was elected under one member, one vote (although that included a Labour Party supporter vote). He was re-elected by a genuine one member, one vote system.

Even so. You can't spoil a good story with 'facts'. FACT.

Johnson v Corbyn.
We could all say sod it we are not going to vote at all.
It's time the people used our democratic right to say we have all had enough, it's the only chance we get to really say what we feel.
If there was a groundswell for this in the country I would definitely go with it.
Every election we are pulled in with political bullshit and fall for it every time.
Why is a centre party not emerging from our mess, they would walk it

I bumped into him at a parliamentary science day a few years ago. He was surrounded by a gaggle of adoring young women. Loved the way he belittled the pompous Dawkins in defence of Christmas (cracking time for family gathrings, harmless fun for athists, etc). Dawkins was mortified. But I won't forgive Benn for forcing through the electoral college system that, with minor changes, allowed Corbyn in. A vain man. I prefer his son.

As I said, very interesting and engaging but did not agree with all he said and done, but Hillary comes across as a thoughly decent man.

I’d like to see a centre Party, but have a horrible suspicion Blair would be all over it. But even Blair is preferable to Corbyn.

Nah. He's to current party politics what David Beckham is to the current England squad. I'd snap your arm off to have them both back, though.

*cough* liberals *cough*

Douglas Adams explained it in one of his HGTTG books. We all vote for a party of goons because, if we didn't vote for a goon, the wrong goon might get elected. Also on this theme, we are like the bloke who thought he was blind, only to discover he was wearing too big a hat. *cough* lack of imagination *cough*.

With the current state of affairs, I’d have to agree with you. At least Blair is a former Statesman, whatever bullshit he spun on WMD, and has experience on the world stage. Never thought I’d say that, but with Corbyn, May and Johnson as the alternatives, it’s best the devil you know etc.

Not funny haha, funny peculiar.

He's quite a uniter I reckon, as someone even the pro-Brexit Tory types that I know think is a complete prat and not fit to lead the party.

If that opinion is more widespread then it does seem that the guy is being used as an anti-May tool

He is certainly a tool.

Putin-Trump-Johnson.

All different, yet all share similar traits. I can't stand the bloke.

The man is an attention seeking whore. The only thing important to him is himself. He’d sell the country down the river if he thought it would benefit himself. He wants to be pm and would do anything to achieve that.
People forget that upto four months before the vote he was a remainder but changed overnight when it occurred to him that voting leave would put him closer to the ‘throne’.
He epitomises all that is wrong with British politics and politicians. Him, Gove, May, Corbyn, macdonnell and Rees f*cking Mogg to name few. A waste of oxygen, the lot of them.
