If the Tory Party really believes he is their answer then do they have any realisation that he is not the super popular star they seem to believe he is? Foreign Secretary! Well, well! Then remember the look of rabbit in the headlights after the Brexit result! Then Gough stating he was not up to the job. Mayor - think garden bridge! Surely, he is seen as the biggest wannabe in the Conservative Party. To be fair he can joke! That is dead useful! He has had a classical education which he uses liberally, especially when he is stuck for an answer! He can come out with remarks likely to insult without a thought. He is a loose cannon which is all we need when the chips are down and make no mistake they are down! If the Tories push him out for popular consumption then I feel it will be another colossal mistake. So Osborne back off with your revenge headlines - we know it's hard getting the sack!

Where are the other Tory superstars? Hiding out in their navy suits, letting TM be the fall guy?

I don't think Boris would step in for the job actually. I think he's been aligning himself for a while but no one in their right minds would want to take over the Tory party now; it would be career suicide for whoever attempts to lead the party through Brexit. You couldn't see Boris for dust when the referendum result came in. He's playing the long game I think.

He's a laughing stock in Europe. With brexit negotiations about to start, it would be a terrible time for a BoJo premiership.

paulapantsdown · 12/06/2017 12:41

He's my MP. His majority was reduced by 5k last week. Even the people who love him round these parts love him less than they did.

He is a mortifying embarrassment in my town, never mind the entire country.

Oh dear, let's put our trust in the slobbering blithering idiot.
we're doomed I tell you, doomed.
It would be laughable if it wasn't so scary. Sad

'He's glib, shallow and vain. All he has is an amusing turn of phrase, a gift for self publicity, no sense of shame and powerful friends and family.He'salking waste of an expensive education and in a meritocratic society he'd be a toilet attendant somewhere.'

Beautifully put Smile

A friend of mine loves him and thinks he's fab. I think she'd be fine with him being PM. We tend to avoid talking about politics when we meet up Hmm

RufusTheRenegadeReindeer · 12/06/2017 12:30

Oh yes I completely agree with boys as well

Especially the stupid people thinking he is clever bit

Though stupid is a bit harsh

ExplodedCloud · 12/06/2017 12:29

I think he's clever, not as clever as he'd like to think though, but lazy.

You are not wrong!!!

RufusTheRenegadeReindeer · 12/06/2017 12:21

Agree with others

As a 'personality' i dont have too much of a problem

But as others have said he is racist and is a stupid liar (easily caught out and lies about stupid things)

Apparently (and this is probably myth) a British contact received a text message from someone in the German parliament. It read

"Anyone but Boris"

I dont even care if thats not true Smile

Badbadbunny · 12/06/2017 12:20

I'd hope that no one is in the mood for a clown running the country right now.

Nearly half the voters wanted Corbyn to run the country, the other half wanted May to run it. Seems like a lot of people want a clown!!!

BoysofMelody · 12/06/2017 11:50

He is highly intelligent. He puts on an act.

He's not highly intelligent, he's a stupid person's idea of what a clever person is like.

I think Boris lacks the integrity and the gravitas (but then so does Trump, so....) I'd hope that no one is in the mood for a clown running the country right now.

Quodlibet · 11/06/2017 21:58

Boris is another racist.

Thiscantreallybehappening · 11/06/2017 21:55

Badbadbunny - agree

Badbadbunny · 11/06/2017 20:01

As we've just seen, elections are now won or lost on the basis of media appearances and debates etc. Corbyn's "success" was classic. Clegg, Blair and Cameron were good on TV. Brown and May and Ed Milliband aren't. See the pattern? Boris is happy and confident in front of the cameras, which is now clearly a big part of being a party leader/PM. He certainly wouldn't shy away from televised leader debates and would probably wipe the floor with Corbyn, Farron and the Scottish nipper.

beepbeepimasheep · 11/06/2017 16:12

I'd rather have Johnson than Gove so he's not all bad.

I think there might be differing opinions about Ken Livingstone's influence on cycle schemes plus a few others.

Certainly he was selling Council Houses, as were other Councils long before Thatcher came along.

The Highline repurposed an existing structure to make it something that was open for all
The garden Bridge was hugely expensive vanity project that was already over budget before it started, and would not have had open access.

Kit30 · 11/06/2017 14:23

Although Boris is quite clever, that doesn't necessarily translate as smart. Let's face it, he's s bit of a 'turn' isn't he?
Didn't vote for Tories but still cross at media bias( especially the BBC (orbynation)) in news programmes since the election. people voted. The majority party is 56 seats ahead. Its Brexit all over again with whinging losers. It's democracy. Suck it up.

youarenotkiddingme · 11/06/2017 14:22

I just cannot warm to BJ. He comes across as a nasty cunt with a massive sense of self importance.

He may be intelligent but his emotional intelligence is lacking somewhat.

I don't like TM either. She also thinks she's more than she is and being the of the Tories is enough to carry her through.

I hope that the Tories get rid of them both and put someone with some common sense and compassion as head of the party.

(And that is not Gove either!)
