To think Johnson is a sociopath?

[jennymanara]

He shows all these elements:

Glibness and Superficial Charm.
Manipulative and Conning. They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. ...
Grandiose Sense of Self. ...
Pathological Lying. ...
Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt. ...
Shallow Emotions. ...
Incapacity for Love.
Need for Stimulation.

Are you qualified to diagnose OP?

Honestly, it’s scary how entrenched and vicious both sides of this divide are behaving.

How does amateur diagnosis and endlessly calling people names help?

No he is an old Etonian. Huge fees for amazing connections and an unshakeable self belief. The fact that he is our prime minister with absoulutley no comprehension of the mundane lives of most of his electorate is scary. The fact that he has no comprhension of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in our society is terrifying.
We were discussing this at work today. Tony Blair fucked up massively in regards to the Iraq war but before that his government made such positive change (Sure Start, minimum wage etc). However since Labour elected the wrong Milliband brother there is no real opposition. Apparently Boris is liked because he has 'a sense of humour'. And we voted for Brexit because 'we won the war and can do it again' (even though people who voted were not alive at the time and never lived through the war/rationing/legally entrenched sexism and racism).

Technical shagging at the taxpayers expense should get him expelled from the playground

You consider Fettes somehow a less privileged background than Eton *?

I don’t know if Tony was a scholarship boy or not, but Boris was.

Completely agree with you about social welfare policy, but you’re probably on safer ground discussing policy itself, than the personalities.

He has no comprehension whatsoever about the most vulnerable in society or the working classes, but yet he stands there, in all seriousness, as representing “the voice of the people” against the “establishment.”

If he’s not the epitome of “establishment”, then who the hell is? Don’t even get me started in JRM. Lunatics!

He can't open his mouth without another lie spilling out. It's very concerning how publicly he lies and lies but gets away with it because apparently we all just expect politicians to be liars these days.

My cousin’s husband went to Fettes and a friend of my dh went to Eton and both of them are not tosses, they are both nice guys, one of whom works for Doctors Without Borders in some of the most awful situations in the world.

I agree OP.

I think the same about Trump.

It's scary.

No he's just spoilt.

Trump is a different matter.
