It's not difficult to underestimate Boris Johnson as he sets the bar so low for himself.

The man is about power. He doesn't own a principle.

He's a man who calls gay men bum boys!

Calls black people piccaninnies with water melon smiles

A man who wrote 2 articles about BREXIT, waited until he saw which way the wind blew and published the one he thought would get him the most political capital.

The embarrassment of having this man as PM will ricochet around the world.

We will be more of a laughing stock than we are now with this Trump Lite buffoon in charge.

What has politics become in our country?

A Prime Minister that's all about power and no principle and a leader of the opposition which is all about principle with not the slightest interest in power.

Boris in a nutshell. You should be his biographer.

I share some of the concerns about the Boris buffoonery, but what you are missing is that he does light up the room when he enters it. He does not do political correctness, and frankly that is a plus, because people are sick of it. He will introduce a completely new approach and make politics exciting again.

If he surrounds himself with the best talent, this could be a very successful premiership, and have no doubt that he will deliver Brexit. He will also return a Conservative Government with a respectable majority, which is what is scaring people who support left leaning political parties.

As for this same story that keeps getting trotted out about the two articles he wrote about Brexit, he has already explained why he did that, but of course his opponents are not interested in that - they just want to try to discredit him.

While having some concerns about Boris, I do think he is the right person for this country at this particular point in time and he will be extremely popular with the public, much to the chagrin of his detractors, who just don't get it.. He has a very good intellect, but I agree he needs to work on his behaviour.

Lighting up the room does not make a politician a good leadership candidate OB.

Yes it does, to the extent that people will vote for him. The question is whether he will be a good PM. We shall see.

What exactly are your concerns? That his go to comments about homosexuals are to call them ‘bum boys’? Or to call people of colour ‘picanninies’ ?

What would be the limit before it becomes more than a ‘concern’? When he calls them ‘fags’ or ‘n****ers’?

But it’s OK because he ‘lights’ up a room?

They ease in which his foulsome language fell from his lips should automatically rule him out of any leadership role!

The fact he felt at ease saying those things out loud also shows you what he thinks behind closed doors, and shows you behind closed doors those views at much more pronounced and more dark!

The very fact that his abject lack of decency to minorities, LGBTQ community and women isn’t an issue for the majority of Conservative party members is chilling!

And none of this can be excused because he’s a brilliant mind! He isn’t!

His lack of knowledge on BREXIT alone (the particular mast he has strapped himself to purely to grab the Tory base) was more than evident in his car crash interview with Andrew Neil yesterday! No wonder his campaign dont want him interviewed!

This, homophobic, racist, misogynist will be our Prime Minister!

I suppose we’re lucky because he ‘lights up a room’!

There are many reasons why the public would vote for Boris rather than JC. For a start, he will deliver Brexit. He wil provide a fresh approach to politics and he won't indulge the media by answering some of the nonsense questions they like to ask to trip people up. Political correctness will go out of the window and he will say it like it is. The thing he has in common with Trump is that his opponents underestimate him. However, that's where the comparison ends in my book.

Given the choice between Boris and JC, surely it's a no-brainer. The vast majority of Brits do not want a Venezualan-style Marxist government without the oil.

Some will vote Liberal Democrat or Green, of course, but anyone who thinks either party will make much of a dent in terms of the number of seats in Parliament will be disappointed.

More! *eats more popcorn* Loving it .. are you taking this act on tour?

Seriously, you been drinking so much Tory kool-aid I doubt there is any left. Use your brain and drop the tired JC/Venezuala/Marxist cliches. Johnson is a clueless clown and he was eviscerated by Andrew Neil on what should be his "chosen" subject.
