Harsh but fair.

[Section_31]

It's all bollocks designed to get people talking about stuff other than his constant failures.

 

It's actually quite depressing. Like Trump, regardless of his other shortcomings he has the instinctive ability to understand clickbait and appeal to our inner moron.

 

The fact it works is endlessly depressing.

Course it is. Evertime they get caught bang to rights I expect a terrorist attack or some shit. Thankfully for them Meghan Markle exists and Prince Phillip has knocked on heavens door more times than a Guns & Roses tribute band from Nuneaton.

Yep, dress up day once a week and three word slogans ain’t statesmanly. 
 

Three fucking photographers this bellend has and they still can’t make him look in the least bit competent.

 

His lack of visibility during this has been a fucking scandal which has gone unmentioned. Talking for five minutes before the real brains take over, only when the news is positive isn’t statesmanly, it’s cowardly. Only taking pre vetted question, which you refuse to answer is cowardly. Publishing a puff propaganda piece, that most don’t have access to, behind a paywall is cowardly.

 

Expecting adulation for the success of others incredible work is cowardly and sums this waste of fucking flesh up.

 

A career invertebrate who ‘achieved’ fuck all, but will tell any cunt that’ll listen that his success are manifold, but really has failed upwards throughout his whole career as he’s prepared to lie through his teeth and expects no retribution.

 

Truly the worst person at the worst time.

 

I hate the cunt and I have a list of only a couple of people I hate, lover not a fighter an’ all tha’.

He will be the sacrificial lamb to get them out of the public outcry after all this. The guys an evil horrible cunt thats a fact but is he the evilest? No, not by a log stretch. 

 

They knew when they elected him leader that they needed his blag and bluster to get them and Brexit over the line. They will shit on him. I hope I bump into him in a pub in 20 years so I can ask him what was it like to try and run the country and just as he goes to answer smash his head through his pint glass and kick his shitty piss soaked arse into the street. Just like they will to him.

Probably, then he’ll get a peerage, go on a world tour of speeches earning a fortune, get some poor cunt to dress up his failures as success as they ghost write his biography and live in a world of unimaginable luxury for the rest in of his days. Never once having the reflective powers to understand why this isn’t suitable reward for his life’s work.

 

All the while the victims of his many very public failures really suffer and mourn.

 

He truly is abhorrent as a human.

I take your main point of diversion but I'm not sure this is. I genuinely think hes a bit mad. Hes got form for nonsense ideas, Garden bridges, water cannons, a new island airport in London.

 

I think Johnson wants to leave a landmark, like some Roman emperor. The power has overcome him. Blair built the O2, these people are narcissists. Judging by insider reports, Johnson is unhinged.

He doesn't make any decisions. 

 

I've looked at and shouted at the tiling in my bathroom telling it I'm gonna rip you all out, make a wet room, a bath that Beyonce would feel comfortable taking a shit in, heated floor the lot. Am I going to do it? Am I fuck.

This is the chancer elected to lead us...

 

I've highlighted my favourite lack of research/knowledge/care.

 

'Boris Johnson, as the subtitle of this book proclaims, is a firm believer in the “great man” theory of history. Not for him the subtleties of the complex interplay of historical forces and individual personalities. Subtlety is not Boris’s strong point. Winston Churchill alone, he writes, “saved our civilisation”. He “invented the RAF and the tank”. He founded the welfare state (although Boris gives David Lloyd George a bit of credit for this, as well). All of this, he argues, confounds what he sees as the fashion of the past few decades to write off “so-called great men and women” as “meretricious bubbles on the vast tides of social history”. The story of Winston Churchill “is a pretty withering retort to all that malarkey. He, and he alone, made the difference.”

 

Marxists, he writes, go eat your words. Except that it’s not just Marxists who have argued for the impact of wider economic, social, cultural and even ideological forces on history. Anyone who has the time or energy to press a couple of keys on a computer to look up “tank”, “RAF”, “welfare state” or even “the Second World War” on Wikipedia will see Boris’s sweeping claims vanish in a cloud of inconvenient facts. Churchill did not, as Boris claims, invent the term “Iron Curtain” to describe the barrier between Soviet-dominated Europe and western Europe. It was first used by the Nazis – above all, by their propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. Nor did he invent the term “Middle East”: it was coined by the American naval thinker Alfred T Mahan in 1902.

 

At many junctures in the book, the ability to think historically deserts its author. He describes men such as Hitler as “short” when their height (5ft 8in in his case) exactly matched the average height of European men at the time; and he describes Churchill as a “Victorian Whig”, though the Whigs’ attitude to the state in legislation such as the 1834 Poor Law was entirely different to Churchill’s. The contemporary references to television shows such as Downton Abbey are among the many factors that will ensure this book has a very brief shelf life. Boris writes disapprovingly of the extramarital affairs of Edith Aylesford, a society lady of the late-Victorian era. “That was how they carried on in those days, you see,” he comments. Not just in those days, Boris.

Johnson doesn’t weigh up policies and ideas with any care or penetration. If he doesn’t like them, he dismisses them as “rot”, “tripe”, “loopy”, “bonkers”, “barmy” or “nuts”; their advocates and practitioners as “loonies”, “plodders”, “Stilton-eating surrender monkeys”, and so on.

 

There are some truly cringe-making metaphors and wordplay in the book. Churchill, we learn, was “mustard keen on gas” as a weapon in the First World War. He was “the large protruding nail on which destiny snagged her coat”. Young Tories “think of him as the people of Parma think of the formaggio Parmigiano. He is their biggest cheese.” And Chamberlain’s “refusal to stand up to Hitler” was “spaghetti-like” (clearly Boris is rather fond of Italian food).

The book reads as if it was dictated, not written. All the way through we hear Boris’s voice; it’s like being cornered in the Drones Club and harangued for hours by Bertie Wooster. The gung-ho style inhibits thought instead of stimulating it. There’s huge condescension here. The Churchill Factor advertises itself as an attempt to educate “young people” who think that Churchill is a bulldog in a television advertisement rather than Britain’s greatest statesman but talking down to them is no way to achieve this aim.

 

In a book that involves a good deal of modern European history, Boris the Eurosceptic clearly doesn’t find it necessary to master the details. Croatia, he tells us casually, was ruled by “some Ustasha creep or other” in the interwar years (it was not), while in the same period there was a plague of “communist uprisings in eastern Europe” (there was not). The Cecilienhof Palace in Potsdam, he writes in his offhand way, was “originally intended for some minor offshoot of the Hohenzollern dynasty” (it was not – it was built for the crown prince, heir to the German throne). He thinks that German industrial relations before 1914 were characterised by “co-operation between bosses and workers” (they were not). Hitler did not plan to kill the disabled, as he claims: most of the disabled in Germany in the 1930s were war veterans. The Germans did not capture Stalingrad, though this book claims they did.

 

Boris ties himself up in knots trying to distance Churchill from the idea of European unity, salvaging a mildly sceptical quote from the apogee of his imperialist enthusiasm in the 1930s to undermine his hero’s advocacy of European unity in the 1950s.

 

Present-day politics obtrude in other ways, too. Anyone who wonders why Boris has written this book need look no further than the general election that is due in a few months’ time. If the Conservatives lose, the leadership of the party will be up for grabs and Boris will be a candidate. Writing a book about Churchill might help people take him seriously. After all, Churchill, he writes, “spoke in short Anglo-Saxon zingers”. He was a “rogue elephant” in the Tory party. He made a career as a highly paid journalist. He was definitely not a “lefty-liberal Milquetoast”. “He was no party-pooper.” He was “incorrigibly cheerful” and his verbal style was both “demotic and verbally inventive”. He “incarnated something essential about the British character – and that was his continual and unselfconscious eccentricity”. Now, who is this meant to remind you of? '

[Jairzinho]

They're similar in that they are/were both fat racist cunts. 

 

Different in that Churchill wasn't tragically, depressingly fucking useless.

I bumped in to her, literally, about two years back outside Hackney Central.

 

She is even more stunning in the flesh.
