If Boris Johnson Becomes PM...

If the unthinkable happens...
What's it likely to be like?
Based on what we know of him and his beliefs / leanings. What are we in for?

Can you explain and expand on his beliefs/leanings?

allergyhelpnewbaby · 24/05/2019 14:57

I don’t think he has any beliefs other than wanting the best for himself.

Blackforestgateau212 · 24/05/2019 15:00

Not sure what his beliefs are. Not sure he really has any other than self promotion.
Of all the politicians we have he is imo the worst. He backed the leave campaign out of self interest rather than conviction. He wanted to position himself as PM in waiting. He has always been euro sceptic, but he knew the pain that a leave result would inflict on UK and deliberately lied about it. He was surprised when leave won.

As Foreign Secretary he consistently failed to study and master his briefs. Not because he was incapable but because he could not be bothered and thought he could wing it. His blundering incompetence contributed to the conviction of Nazarene Zagari Radcliffe in Iran.

He has undermined TM throughout her time in office - accusing her of failing to deliver the Brexit people voted for, without once acknowledging that they voted for an impossible illusion pedalled by him. . So much for being a team player.

He has cheated on his wife.

Jeremy Corbyn may be a trot - but at least he believes in it!

DON'T. Just DON'T

shadypines · 24/05/2019 15:14

The guy can't even dress himself properly. If he's the best the country can offer we are in trouble.

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 24/05/2019 15:23

He's a vile man, racist, adulterous and a pathological liar. A great deal of the things people believe about the EU are based on his Brussels journalism, which with very few exceptions were entirely fabricated. He cares for absolutely nothing except his own self interest, and that includes manipulating the markets with his speeches.

onalongsabbatical · 24/05/2019 15:23

We will completely eclipse the US for being a laughing stock to the whole world. Everyone knows he's a joke. UK will never recover a decent standing in the world.

We
Are
Sunk...

BackInTime · 24/05/2019 15:24

He is trying to live out some kind of Churchill fantasy, thinks he will be the great statesman who will save us by showing the EU who is boss....let's see how that works out.

mumwon · 24/05/2019 15:30

he was in charge of Brexit negotiations at beginning of Brexit wasn't he? real success there … irony! sarcasm ...

AndSheWas85 · 24/05/2019 15:35

His Politics are standard Tory polices, so we should expect more of the same... food banks, NHS in a mess, zero hour contracts.
On a personal level he cheated on his wife and has at least one "love child".
He is a bullshting buffoon of a man with an insatiable thirst for power.
A dangerous lying egotist who cares about one thing and one thing only, Boris.

RevokeRemainReform · 24/05/2019 15:36

We will leave with a hard Brexit.

rosie39forever · 24/05/2019 15:38

The rich and privileged will get richer and the middle class will be poorer, the poor will be destitute and the destitute will die and no one most of all BoJo will give a fuck.

DuckWillow · 24/05/2019 15:40

He is our Donald Trump. Enough said.

mrssunshinexxx · 24/05/2019 15:41

We will leave with a hard brexit

myohmywhatawonderfulday · 24/05/2019 15:45

I will leave the country.
I cannot bear the thought of him being the leader of our country.

MarshaBradyo · 24/05/2019 15:49

I’d be concerned about further inequality

They’ll be a small percentage who will be happy, many who will have a harder time

Crunchymum · 24/05/2019 15:53

I woefully predicted this useless oaf would end up as PM on the 24th June 2016.

I hope my prediction is very, very wrong.

  • when I say I predicted I mean that the day after the referendum in 2016 I stomped round my office muttering "if that twat BJ ends up as PM I'm leaving this shithole country"
RevokeRemainReform · 24/05/2019 16:06

I wouldnt count on him becoming PM. The membership love him but I dont think he's popular with Tory Mps.

TeacupDrama · 24/05/2019 16:10

even Rees Mogg would be preferable and that is saying something

babysharkah · 24/05/2019 16:12

We'll have a buffoon in power in the Uk and one in the US. What could possibly go wrong with that?

FiremanKing · 24/05/2019 16:15

New leader has been announced and it’s not Boris

angstridden2 · 24/05/2019 16:16

I think it’s actually two wives....I suppose he can at least claim to be consistent in his behaviour. Arrogant, dishonourable, self serving and intellectually lazy.

MatthewBramble · 24/05/2019 16:17

Boris Johnson has "beliefs" (other than in BJ, of course) ! ROFLMAO.

MrPan · 24/05/2019 16:26

Just when you thought the UK couldn't get any worse.....

As per Marx Brothers:
" You don't like my principles? Well I've got some others if you'd prefer them?"
