Smarmy? Blokes only been in 5 mins and tbf has shown a class his predecessor couldn't even imagine, let alone dream of. He's a magnitude of IQ points smarter than Bullshitting Boris... That's painfully obvious during his regular dismantling of our weak and blustering PM during questions. It's gotten so bad I'm actually starting to feel a bit sorry for the blonde booby. It's like watching live baby seal clubbing every Wednesday lunchtime.
Foreign correspondents from Italy to Australia are baffled the UK has a leader with such obvious ineptitude.
Max Hastings (his former boss) wrote a piece, detailing his character defects and lack of suitability for public office last autumn. Not a hatchet job,just an honest appraisal of a bluffer,serial liar and a selfish egotist.
It's difficult to look at Johnson and find any value at all. In some ways,that makes him historically unique.
And Max Hastings is a long long way from being part of some loony left wing conspiracy. I would describe him as a right wing Thatcherite.
When history is written I reckon 100 years from now political students will see the last election as the final nail in Britain's coffin. We elected Johnson, not because he was any fucking good, but because the alternative was , incredibly, even worse.
I just hope when I eventually fall off my perch I can leave enough in my will to enable my grandchidren to fuck off and find somewhere to live and work where ability, and not being connected, gets people the top jobs.
As for Johnson he is an opportunist. He saw an opportunity for himself when the Brexit referendum was announced and, just as Tony Blair did some years before, completely changed his views for the sake of personal opportunity.
I'm personally sorry, as a conservative, that he didn't become a high profile virus victim when he caught it. Although tbh I suspect he probably wasn't as "ill" as was reported. The man is a cunt who would undoubtedly see a story about him bravely surviving the nasty killer virus as a potential way to raise his profile.
