Boris for PM?
March 31, 2019 at 8:36 pm
It is my perception that Boris Johnson has long wanted to be PM. I've never been able to work out how much of the buffoon image is real. I've suspected that may be tactic to get his political enemies to underestimate him. If so, I think he may have over done it.
Just read a bit in Huffpost UK . Tony Blair has apparently said That Johnson will lead Tories to win the next election. IF Labour keeps Jeremy Corbyn and present 'revolutionary policies' Don't know about that. But, Corbyn does come across as a bit of a plonker.
Blair said that Labour can win with more centrist policies, which could attract Tory voters pissed off with the pig's breakfast of Brexit.
I'm not all that knowledgable of internal UK politics. Be most interested in some informed opinions,

Or he really is an idiot . Just an idiot who wants to be PM . Consider him the British Paul Martin. Only without the economic clout .

This image pretty much cements that idea:

non-guitarists may not get that, but if you've ever seen a capo, you should know exactly what the problem is. Seriously, if you can't understand something that basic, then stay the fuck out of 10 Downing Street. To be fair, he did eventually get it,

but if the learning curve for this particular issue is more than 10 seconds, you are a fucking idiot.

Boris is an idiot, but can he do any worse than what we have now?

I'm hoping for Bojo or Lord Rees Mogg to lead the Tory party.
No. I don't like the Tories.

I think he can if he puts his mind to it.
