‘The rest of the thinking world’
😂😂😬😬
That’s just the problem. Only a small fraction of the electorate actually think. Rigorously. Critically. Impartially.
You can look at this either way; Boris has been PM in waiting for at least a decade, why anybody is surprised is beyond me.
I have never voted Tory so not automatically a fan, but a cursory glance at his proposed policies, one of which is to borrow to end austerity, sounds just like...
Labour. And many have commented how much he likes to please people so, even if it takes the continuation of the well established Ponzi scheme of IMF borrowing at least we should get some shiny new hospitals and more police on the ground. You can bet your bottom dollar Boris lies awake at night dreaming of being crowned most popular PM ever. It’s written all over his face. He still thinks the world can be run just like Pop at Eton.
To his credit, he is a true Brexiteer (his stuff at The Telegraph when he was Brussels correspondent confirms this, I don’t buy the idea peddled that he wrote two speeches arguing for either side the day before declaring his support for Leave.) Again, A’s a Remain voter it’s not what I voted for but I’m happy someone who believes in it will deliver it.
Honestly. It was hardly happy times in the fag end days of Blair/Brown. This is pretty similar except with added Latin and one hell of a public spending debt at the end of his term.
He is an extrovert Liberal. They’re all sociopaths - yes, even Uncle Jeremy - at least this will be vaguely entertaining. And if he wants us all to love him, he’ll have to offer us things we actually want.
(Not Revoking Article 50, that has to happen now I’m afraid.)
Cheer up. It may get end ok, not well, but just ok.
