Sic Transit Boris

 

Few politicians have dashed my hopes more than Boris Johnson.  Given the largest Tory majority in generations, he was worse than useless.  The book on Boris before he became Prime Minister was that he believed in nothing.  Turns out that was incorrect.  He mostly believed in the common wisdom of the chattering classes of the West and his personal hedonism.  Do the post mortem please Nigel:

I don’t know why they thought this guy was in the mold of Trump. Cause he had messy hair? He always looked weak and dumpy to me. Good freaking riddance.

We’ve just discovered the strategic petroleum reserve sold 950,000 barrels of oil to a Chinese company in which Hunter Biden has a stake. It’s mordantly amusing that BoJo is considered unfit due to his staff parties and petty prevaricating, and we have the most crooked administration in United States history and there’s hardly any controversy.

Give him credit for getting Brexit done. I wouldn’t fault him for mistaken decisions in re the Wuhan flu as it’s been trial-and-error for everyone. What you do fault leaders for is promulgating nonsense policies and doubling down on them. Not sure to what extent Britain did that. Nonsense policies would be (after the initial weeks) the school closings, lockdown advisories and mandates implicating (after the initial weeks) anyone under 45, pushing vaccines on persons under the age of 45, corruption of vaccine distribution by ‘diversity’ considerations, mask mandates, government spending pukes beyond temporary unemployment benefits and indemnities for certain sectors, monetizing public sector deficits…).

He won by a landslide in 2019. The left are antagonising and the right are being their convenient tools. Won’t be shocked if his replacement ends up being a Muslim. So much for Brexit.

“Few politicians have dashed my hopes more than Boris Johnson.”

He literally paid for his mistress to have an abortion. Why would you have any faith in him?

Theresa May ministry was nowhere near the worst since Chamberlain’s. She herself may have been more unsuited to the position than any other, but no ministry since 1979 has made policy decisions in the economic realm as consistently poor as was the case between 1945 and 1979.

Did he do that? He has children by her. Or was this a previous mistress? He whored around on at least two of his wives.

What’s wrong with a Muslim PM? I get that British Muslims are mostly brown Labourites, but it’s not like the last three Conservative PMs haven’t been pro-abortion lunatics.

Is it really that difficult for a boomer to conduct a Google search?
