The funniest part of all of this is that those who bet their personal credibility & futures on Johnson are now so exposed. Prime time entertainment  It is a pity that it took trashing the country to get to a point when the country can conclude he was a snake oil salesman after all. |
I think the problem is that people saw the genial funny man presenting Have I Got News For You, or the enthusiastic London Mayor and thought that's what we would get. Note: I don't think he was a good Mayor, but he was good ambassador for London.
We did get a comedian as PM. Just not a funny one.
Boris should not be allowed anywhere near Parliament. Unfortunately, I can't think of a single senior Tory I would argue should be allowed near Parliament. I daresay the grassroots Tories can sometimes make good MPs, but it seems those who get to the senior levels forget the voters.
