The Beginning Of The End For Boris ‘Back Of A Fag Packet’ Johnson
But privileged Johnson was an entirely different animal.
Rather than looking like an uncooked battered sausage, Johnson left the Eton production line covered from head to toe in polytetrafluoroethylene.
That’s Teflon to you and me.
It’s hard to believe Johnson is still in office. His own party don’t want him - some 75% of the Tory MPs not on the government payroll want him gone. This is substantial and most likely irreversible.
Opinion polls are designed to influence your thinking, we know this, but every damning poll that shows Johnson is utterly loathed across the country is backed up by conversations with people away from the Twitter pantomime.
Despite surviving the bid to oust him, Johnson’s authority has been dented by 148 Conservatives saying they have no confidence in his leadership.
I saw some people literally applauding these 148 Tory MPs, but I cannot join in with this.
If these MPs want my applause they can agree to support a parliamentary vote of no confidence in Boris Johnson, because if the 148 ‘rebels’ believe Johnson isn’t fit to lead the Conservative party, how on earth can they think he is the right person to lead the country?
But this would at least require a vote of no confidence being put to parliament to vote on, Keir Starmer.
One senior Tory (locally) that I spoke with this week told me the ‘rebellion’ against Boris Johnson would’ve been far greater had there been an obvious replacement.
What does that tell you about this Conservative Party and this Conservative government?
The Conservatives have 359 MPs. 271 of them are men and 88 are women, yet they cannot find one single candidate that is capable of taking over from the worst Conservative leader and Prime Minister in living memory?
The problem with these Tory civil wars is always the same. If they put a similar degree of energy into running the country as they did into kicking blue lumps out of each other I probably wouldn’t have much to complain about.
It’s not much different to Starmer’s Labour Party, where they dedicate so much aggression to removing socialists from the Party while the Tories get on with destroying the NHS, handing out billions to their friends and donors, and sending humans to live in Rwanda.
Boris Johnson used to possess a shield of invincibility, but the partygate scandal has exposed the dangerous flaws that many of us warned of prior to the 2019 General Election.
Johnson’s reaction to a crisis typifies his upbringing. When the shit hits the fan the cheque book comes out.
It wasn’t long ago the damning Sue Gray report was released. Johnson mumbled a few words about learning lessons and getting on with the job, and the very next day they handed everyone at least £400 to help with the soaring cost of living crisis.
This was a brazen attempt to shift the news agenda away from the criminality of Downing Street to the pounds (or lack of) in your pocket.
It failed, of course, because the people are so deeply cynical of politicians and their promises, whether that be Boris Johnson and the 40 new hospitals, or even Keir Starmer and his 10 pledges, we are sick of boring establishment sycophants promising the world and delivering next to nothing.
And now we have the unholy spectacle of the Tories tearing into each other, which means another epic red meat for Tory voters distraction was required.
The distraction arrived in the shape of a rehashed Thatcher policy, right to buy, which always sounds great until you realise it’s simply not going to happen.
It’s taken me a few years to work this out, but I think I’ve cracked this particular nut.
Johnson doesn’t actually do policy, he does ideas. He will throw out these ridiculous suggestions, whether that be a garden bridge across the River Thames, another bridge linking Northern Ireland and Scotland, the levelling-up agenda, or whatever the flavour of the day might be.
Then Johnson expects his underlings to turn his ideas into a policy, and if they can’t it gets shelved and never spoken of again, safe in the knowledge a majority of the media will help him put it on the shelf if he can’t quite reach it himself.
Boris Johnson is the back of a fag packet Prime Minister.
The right to buy distraction didn’t even manage to get to the end of the day before tragically falling apart.
Rather than present us with a solid, thoroughly costed policy we were given Boris Johnson thinking out loud. That’s all it was.
What about the 300,000 homes a year he promised to build? More bullshit.
George Osborne looked into right to buy back in 2015, but once he realised it would involve taking the housing associations colossal private debts on to the public sector balance sheet he shit enough bricks to build a new council estate.
We didn’t even get to lunchtime really.
Michael Gove - usually a safe pair of hands when you need a grubby useful idiot to spread your lies - crumbled instantly.
Gormless Gove had no idea what the discount would be for anyone taking up the “benefits for bricks” scheme, but he did know there would be a cap on the number of homes available, just not how many the cap would be.
Are we all clear?
I’m yet to find a credible expert that thinks Johnson’s right to buy gimmick is workable, and there’s probably a good reason for that.
We’re now at the point where it is hard to find a more discredited leader of a country than Boris Johnson, anywhere in the world.
Johnson loves to talk about the G7.
How many of the other leaders in the G7 have been found to break their own laws whilst in office?
How many of the other G7 leaders misled their own parliaments, and their peoples, to buy themselves a little bit of breathing space?
How many of the other G7 leaders are as utterly detested and untrustworthy as Boris Johnson? It’s not just the electorate, his own rotten party can’t stand the sight of him because he is going to destroy the Conservative Party.
Suits me.
How many of the other G7 leaders can say they spent £37 billion on a faulty test and trace system? We were promised a world-beating Harrods standard package from the serial failures at Serco, and we got a massively flawed bodge-job that wouldn’t look out of place on the shelves of Poundland.
Loathsome Johnson is the embodiment of corruption, cronyism and criminality. He is an old school bully and a compulsive liar. He drags his festering over-privileged racist carcass from one day to the next, like a freshly trod-on snail, hoping one of his pie-in-the-sky ideas covers up the waste and the carnage from the previous day.
This is your Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen.
Are you prepared to “draw a line” under Johnson’s criminality, or his inability to get from one day to the next without dragging each and every one of us through his sordid quagmire of an existence?
Nor me.
I always try to find the good in the bad, surely everyone has at least one redeeming feature? Johnson can’t be all bad, right?
Wrong.
I stare deeply into Johnson’s eyes and all I can see is a spiralling darkness. He looks haunted, in the same way Blair and Cameron did after a few years in the job. It is an oasis of despair. They know what they have done.
The excuses for Boris Johnson’s grotesque inadequacy no longer wash.
“He’s trying his best” has always been a demonstrable lie gleefully peddled by Johnson’s sycophantic Twitter ‘army’. He never tried his best, and if he did, it was nowhere near good enough.
And what about the vaccine rollout? All he did was sign the cheques, and you paid for it. Give yourselves, and the brilliant NHS, a massive pat on the back.
What was the idiot Johnson supposed to do? Tell the scientists we didn’t need a vaccine? Of course not. He needs no credit from you for simply signing a cheque and giving a nod, because that is part of his job, for which he is very well paid.
Then you’ll get people saying he was “dealt a bad hand”.
Nobody forced the soulless lump of shit to become Prime Minister.
Johnson’s idol and fellow racist gammon, Winston Churchill, was also dealt a pretty bad hand by all accounts - but like Johnson, this was the job he chose to do.
I honestly cannot see Johnson lasting more than a few months. 2 big by-elections are incoming, and the Tories are predicted to lose both of them.
Then he will attempt to limp on until the summer recess, continuing to make clear he won’t be resigning under any circumstances.
Johnson now needs his cabinet of horrors to show some leadership and have a quiet word with him, because it is in their remit to bring the derailed runaway train that is Boris Johnson to a grinding halt.
For all of their many faults, surely just one of Johnson’s top table has got the guts to put an end to this horrific misery?
Wouldn’t you rather be remembered as the Minister that put an end to Boris Johnson’s career, in the national interest, instead of just another toadie Minister that enabled the fucking malignant slob?
Boris Johnson has manipulated and blagged his way to the top.
He triumphed over an easily beatable Ken Livingston to become the Mayor of London, and it took the entire weight of the British establishment, with the support of foreign governments such as Trump’s United States and Netanyahu’s Israel, to malign and smear Jeremy Corbyn to a pulp, gifting Johnson the keys to Number 10.
A better opposition leader than Keir Starmer, with a better, more believable soundbite than “make Brexit work”, would undoubtedly be 20 points ahead and well on the way to delivering a handsome majority at the next general election.
But Starmer knows it is time to keep his eyes on the prize. The top job is tantalisingly within his grasp.
His patience will be rewarded when Johnson finally goes, and he can put himself forward to lead the Conservative Party.
Get Johnson out. I don’t care who, or how, just get the disgraced liar out. I think we’ve all suffered enough now, don’t you?
Until next time,
Rachael
