One is a slob who makes a living by saying outrageous things and acting like a buffoon and chasing women. The other is Benny Hill.

After the threat of Naval gunboats, forced expulsion to Rwanda and Suella Braverman's twisty face ... ... does anyone believe this latest threat will have any effect? I just don't see how being deported to Africa is less of a threat than being popped on a plane back home.
No chance in my opinion. Johnson is ensuring his own exit. Brady will no doubt do a book. I will buy it, so long as the ghost writer is good. Bercow was the last one I thought might be worth a read, but wasnt. If Brady gets his story right it will be insightful. Never has a UK politician seen so much about the power of influence and the underbelly of politics, in my opinion anyway. His insight, I hope, is a commentary on uk politics rather than just his party. Not many acrosss the house has as much gravitas and credibility.
I give him a bit more credit for his intelligence than some. That is not to be mistaken for respect. I think he is setting fire to his own pyre right now. Everything to raise his profile and his legacy, negative doesnt seem to matter. On a personal level I cant wait for his book on Shakespeare. Reality is likely he has so much lined up away from politics his future is assured. All he is doing now is fueling a persona. People might call me for this. Blair has made god knows how much since leaving office and playing his name. Johnson will be the next to make huge sums.
Johnson's certainly not a stupid bloke and if you observe him without bias, that becomes obvious. However, he does stupid things through arrogance and his own belief that he can shrug any criticism off, so he just does what ever he likes. Similarly, not everything he did as Prime Minister was bad. However, I firmly believe he wanted to be PM to show that he could, to say that he was PM, rather than through conviction or any desire to do good for his country.
Hard to disagree. I felt there were times when he felt he was doing the right thing. The public disagreed, but he may have felt it. Anyone who has led any group of people will know there are always people who think you are wrong. If you are lucky some will explain why. Johnsons problem, in my opinion, is not so much his decisions as leader, but his complete disregard for decency. Leaders never get everything right, otherwise football team managers would never get sacked. He made mistakes, but his personality and attitude will sink him to the lowest rung of historical remembrance.
"Baroness Mone has enjoyed a break with her husband at a villa bought three months after their homes were raided by police probing a £200million PPE deal. The Tory peer acquired the £7million Algarve property through an offshore firm last July, it can be revealed. The firm is being sued for more than £130million by the Department for Health over gowns it claims could not be used in the NHS."
Wasn't there a school report sent to his father the gist of which was, 'he was an arrogant useless t wat'?
Close, it said he had major issues with following rules and doesn't believe they should apply to himself.
"I think he honestly believes that it is churlish of us not to regard him as an exception, one who should be free of the network of obligation that binds everyone else."
Apparently they have to have an "agreement" with the country from which they came. Didn't we used to have one of those pre "Brexit" ?
