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?

He's a vile man, racist, adulterous and a pathological liar.

Yep.

Isn't one of the main aim's of No Deal to avoid the EU's Anti Tax Avoidance package? So maybe have a look at Singapore if you want a picture of the UK through Johnson's eyes.

I honestly can't understand why people rate him.

Apparently he's a favourite with the Tory membership Hmm.

The guy is an arrogant, self absorbed sneering over privileged twit whose morality is not just flexible but utterly absent.

Hopefully the MP's will knock his candidacy out of contention before it goes to a membership vote but I'm not hopeful.

Every time I see or hear BJ, I think David Icke was on to something.

For carcrash listening why not try the infamous 2013 interview with Eddie Mair, and BJ subsequently blaming Eddie for asking the wrong questions.

A bit like having Hitler in power.

I think you have summarised exactly why the Tory membership like him there then.

DeRigueurMortis · 24/05/2019 17:27

You're probably right Piggy Grin

He used the P word when talking about black children.

He should have been fired for that, not be in the running for PM!!

We should be very afraid.

He has said he will allow the uk to crash out of the eu with no deal.

He doesn't give a shit about what will happen to ordinary people.

With him, Trump, Salvini in Italy, Bolsonaro in Brazil & Orban in Hungary plus the far right Polish & Estonian leaders, it's all too Fascist for my liking...

He would be the worst Prime Minister at least since Eden, possibly since the 18th century.

Rock4please · 25/05/2019 05:37

I don't think he will last long as PM, thank God, as he will not have a majority in Parliament and is bound to upset everyone apart from the hard right Tories. I reckon there will be a GE by the end of the year.

AwkwardSquad · 25/05/2019 06:04

He’s totally amoral and as a pp said, we’ll be even more of a laughing stock abroad than we already are. It’s profoundly depressing.

AwkwardSquad · 25/05/2019 06:07

even Rees Mogg would be preferable and that is saying something

I think it would be equally horrific but in a different way. Probably more of a Gilead flavour if Rees Mogg gets the job.

may was terrible- i think she consistently chose wrongly/made bad decisions but she saw herself as a 'public servant'- i have never got any sense, ever, from boris that he wants the best for anyone but himself. i think he sees himself as churchillian- id hate to see what he does to the country in order to be a hero.

floraloctopus · 25/05/2019 06:13

He's a real life spitting image puppet. How I wish that programme were being made now.

BillywilliamV · 25/05/2019 08:57

Does anybody like him?

Coolcoolcoolcoolcool · 25/05/2019 09:05

BillywilliamV a friend of mine named her hamster after him. She's a Tory voter so I assume she likes him, I didn't ask any questions, or go into politics at all with her, as I want to keep her as a friend.
