Boris Johnson reminds me of Napoleon in the old animation of Animal Farm (see video clip)

[flashbac]

The 1954 animated adaptation of Animal Farm was on over the weekend. I was watching with my DD and this scene in particular made be blink. The character reminded me so much of the PM.

Napoleon was based on Joseph Stalin, so I hope not.

Oh god nightmare flashbacks to GCSE English! No I think Napoleon was smarter, Boris is more like one of the sheep

I can see parallels between dictatorship and where this country is going tbh.

The famous line “ All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” seems even more fitting in light of the Christmas party debacle.

I think he's more like Moses the raven - blathering on fantastically, doing fuck all.

Johnson is not a sheep. He's fiendishly cunning at appearing to be a clown while actually furthering his own interests all the time.

Given how many times he and his so-called govt have lied (way before the pandemic), broken rules & shown complete contempt for the people of the UK, I would say YANBU OP and we are in fact seeing parallels with dictatorship under the guise of democracy. Animal Farm is the perfect analogy.

And it's a complete misnomer to refer to him as thick or a bumbling buffoon. He has carefully created and played out the role but he is far from that which makes him incredibly dangerous IMO.

In terms of mannerisms and personality, he's more Squealer I think.

The NHS is Boxer.

Yep.
