I’ve seen no evidence Johnson is smart. His academic performance has generally been poor considering his background and he’s got where he is because he’s charismatic rather than through talent. He’s also failed in pretty much every job he’s had and in politics has always relied on the team around him to do the actual work.
He’s generally shown a poor understanding of technical issues and even on things he’s supposed to be into like history has a habit of not doing the leg work and making basic factual errors.
Haha, no, I’d also choose my words a carefully when it comes to Johnson ! I was just saying he’s not stupid
It's over 12 mil! Every time someone announces a figure it immediately becomes incorrect a the amount goes up!
true, but he seemed over the moon when I saw him interviewed two days ago.

Global supply chains are still in the toilet, manufacturing is at an all-time low due to labour shortages, shipping costs are at an all time high due to demand and we're currently in the midst of a capacity crunch, so it's becoming a huge struggle for importers to get anything into the country. If anything it would probably be easier, quicker and cheaper to manufacture them in the UK.
Just acts stupid then?Haha, no, I’d also choose my words a carefully when it comes to Johnson ! I was just saying he’s not stupid
Oh for the leadership of truth.
taking it down to "simple" numbers to show how small the margins are and the reasoning behind the concepts of isolation/groupings/distancing
2- heartfelt apology from eu to Italy. Beautiful and necessary they were let down and our leaders can’t apologise for letting old people back in homes to infect and kill their friends
The money isn't going directly to the NHS. It is going to the organisation's that work alongside the NHS that are not paid for by our government or the tax we pay but by donations and fund raising.
If anyone wants to make a point how about saying why organisations like Macmillans are not state funded. Because it is a disgrace.
An inept government got voted in because an inept opposition didn't have a clue what to do for the best.Because we are living this we don't realise how bad he is. He didn't believe in brexit but decided to try and be the face of the 'leave' campaign, shat himself and ran away when they won, bided his time and stuck the knife into everyone to get his ambition of being PM then did exactly the same as the people he screwed over, filled the cabinet with no-marks and inept failures, ran away again again after the election & went on lots of holidays, completely failed the country with his coronavirus response and is now in hiding again- all the while taking the UK to its most divided state in generations with everybody hating each other, eugenics experts calling the shots and people like Hancock, Patel and Raab running the show by lying to the country on a daily basis. I saw this morning we are 'importing' hundreds of Eastern Europeans to work on farms- really taking back control.
He is an utter, unqualified, dangerous disaster and when we look back in 20/30 yrs it will be obvious just how shit and catastrophic the 'Johnson era' was.

That’s the issue with our government and specifically our PM, he’s spent so long stoking fears amongst the electorate to cheaply obtain their vote with lies now we need them to be truthful they’re the ones scared to do that. The irony being that Merkel giving it how it is in plain German is actually very calming as it’s the dose of reality needed. We just get more bluster, lies and BS targets we’re never going to meet. I hope people wise up to this.
The man possibly caught Covid 19 by shaking hands with people who have Covid 19 when his own official advice was social distancing and then at the very press conference we were being told not to visit our mothers on mothers day he was talking about hoping to see his mother on Mother’s Day.Haha, no, I’d also choose my words a carefully when it comes to Johnson !

One of the main tenets of right sided thinking is to never, ever admit fault or mistake. Never say sorry. It can be used as a stick to beat you with and seen as a sign of weakness. If you don't admit mistakes or spin it even if it seems pretty obvious you've fucked up you make people find clear evidence of your fault and that's much harder and you can just carry on.
It's one of the many things G has taken on from that book of thinking.
Finished it this morning. Had to be done quickly as he is 100 at the end of the month. 12m raised. Slightly beat his target of 1k.Trouble is he's got so many people wanting interviews he won't have time to complete the challenge.
Did Corbyn ever admit fault for the last GE defeat?One of the main tenets of right sided thinking is to never, ever admit fault or mistake. Never say sorry.

To be fair to Johnson, for all his faults he’s no idiot. Unfortunately I find he never conveys his points clearly (poor delivery style but that’s just him as an individual I guess)
I wouldn’t say poor academic performance (I wouldn’t mind having a 2:1 from Oxford) but each to their own. Just wouldn’t class him as stupid personally

He ain’t smart.
But just what most Germans see as normal.Take that Merkel video. It's clear and makes the point. But to many it'll be dull and they'll just mentally switch off, while others will say it comes across as a bit condescending.

The worse thing is if we pull out of the aftermath of the virus and do OK Boris might be seen as some kind of hero.
I just hope Starmer is up to showing Boris for what he is. And that the Labour infighting stops. Get both and we should get a Labour government. Miss one and we won't.
Cameron is close for being as dense TBF, though they were both the same type of person. Though telling Johnson sees him as “a girly swot” which tells you all you need to know about how Johnson rates his own intellect.
Corbyn was on another level. A deeply stupid man.
Don't think he is as bad as that.Corbyn was on another level. A deeply stupid man.
Because we are living this we don't realise how bad he is.
It can only go one way.The opposition didn't help, but an inept government was voted in because people wanted Brexit (and less foreigners), that's the long and short of it.
And I can definitely see Boris being labeled as a hero at the end of this, no matter how our figures stand up to other countries. We have seen in this thread how people think the sun shines out of his arse and will even ignore or defend unnecessary deaths in response to any warranted criticism of him.
But just what most Germans see as normal.
They wouldn't have just listened to Boris constantly saying 'get Brexit done'. They would want to know why they should get Brexit done. They would have wanted all the details.

I've ended up in a strange parallel world where Piers Morgan is the voice of reason. Nadine Dorries tweeted that full lockdown would last until a vaccine is found. Morgan picked up on it tweeting "Health minister says UK will be in ‘full lockdown’ until there is COVID-19 vaccine - which experts say will be at least 18 months. Astonishing break from other Govt statements". She's now outright denying she said it.

I put Piers Morgan on the same level as Katie Hopkins. They chat shite most of the time as they make a living by being controversial. But sometimes they are spot on as they say what most people are too scared to say.I've ended up in a strange parallel world where Piers Morgan is the voice of reason.
