Boris 2

[Khandro]

The other thread seems to have been closed down probably as it had strayed way off topic I just wanted to add an epilogue though in the form of a quote of Rory Stewart writing a review in the TLS of a new book by Tom Bower; 'Boris Johnson: The Gambler'.

.........."Perhaps it is envy. Johnson is after all the most accomplished liar in public life – perhaps the best liar ever to serve as prime minister. Some of this may have been a natural talent – but a lifetime of practice and study has allowed him to uncover new possibilities which go well beyond all the classifications of dishonesty attempted by classical theorists like St Augustine. He has mastered the use of error, omission, exaggeration, diminution, equivocation and flat denial. He has perfected casuistry, circumlocution, false equivalence and false analogy. He is equally adept at the ironic jest, the fib and the grand lie; the weasel word and the half-truth; the hyperbolic lie, the obvious lie, and the bulls hit lie – which may inadvertently be true. And because he has been so famous for this skill for so long, he can use his reputation to ascend to new levels of playful paradox. Thus he could say to me “Rory, don’t believe anything I am about to say, but I would like you to be in my cabinet” – and still have me laugh in admiration." .........

Sorry Khandro

shame the other thread got stalled.

[emmie]

If the party wanted to get rid of Boris now is not the time to do it. wait

[Bobbisox1]

Absolutely not , that would be disastrous

[emmie]

it would. Personally i hope that things turn around for him

[Bobbisox1]

Let's hope the R number continues to go down Emmie

[gulliver1]

Don't know about getting rid of Boris , he should never have been the P/M in the first place the man is a Bufoon. first class

[emmie]

the party elected him, thought him the best man for the job. Perhaps he isn't, but he;s no buffoon as you continue to call him.

[Khandro]

If there are any mods about, please close down this thread, this off topic bickering is beyond endurance.
