      @Zippy Thekid As an intelligent person with ADHD and other neurodiverse qualities, I can attest that, yes, sometimes I am too blunt and occasionally I do or say things that make me seem like an asshole. But, when I'm wrong, or simply rude, I apologize and try to consider how to behave differently in the future. ADHD, LDs and other neuropsych differences do not not give anyone license to behave like an unmitigated asshole throughout life. I wasn't properly diagnosed until 20 or so, and had a very hard time of it as a child, feeling sad and confused that I couldn't fit in with everyone else. Still learned how to not be a dick.

      You have to ask why this exceedingly expensive school did not shut him down. Wasn't he later allowed to be headboy or somesuch? It seems Eton was grooming him to be the prime minister he has become.

    I am of the opinion that there is no such thing as "adult" behaviour. People often continue to display the same character traits and conduct at 40 that they did at 15. The bubbly teenager becomes the perky adult; the highschool drama queen becomes the overly dramatic co-worker. And the schoolboy who doesn't think the rules should apply to him, but yet thinks he deserves to be in charge, becomes Prime Minister of Great Britain.

Blow-job, however, does not have my luxury, yet still he behaves not like any ordinary child but as a spoilt brat. It is disturbing to see the similarity of behaviour between johnson and trump.

    Would love to know how that letter came into the public domain: did Boris’s parents save it and were they the ones who published it? Did the headmaster save a copy? He couldn’t still be working in 2022 if he was a professional adult near the top of his career (one does not start off as a headmaster) when Boris was a child. Therefore, did he keep a file of his letters to parents? Did it stay with the school or did he keep personal copies? Did he publish it or did the school? What kinds of issues had to be worked in order to publish a letter in the current day when the subject of the letter is now quite famous and in a position of political power (goes beyond pure privacy and fact that Boris was at the time a minor)?

    Imagine a scathing report from a state school. Surnames and titles would be used.
    Although the report was critical, there was an offhanded casual friendliness to it. The sort of language two old chums would use. Why is this not a surprise?

    Rory Stewart has a lovely demeanour and is a very, very likeable person. However, he is a Tory. His voting record is that of a Tory. He seemed to only leave the Tory party when Bozo was elected as PM, not because his conservative belief system changed. Only time will tell if he remains a conservative and/or Tory. He claims independence in stead of going to another party and it makes me wonder if he's just biding his time until he decides to rejoin this old party.

      He would claim, i don't doubt, that it was the tory party that left him when boris became leader. The breaking of the "red wall" might well testify to that. Leopards do not change their spots. Boris is, and will remain, a feckless charlatan and chancer who goes with the prevailing winds, and i daresay stewart is, and will remain a privileged class tory ...... Regardless how likable one might find him.

      I find moving to an independent position more honourable than joining Labour, for example. By being an independent he has no opportunity to be a member of the party in power, and is able to hold to his own political beliefs than those of an adopted group, while still working for his constituency. I have heard him speak a few times and he comes across as genuine, honest and honourable, but I haven’t researched the chap.

      @@keithorbell8946 I hear you. But he won't move to Labour anyway because he's of a certain mindset (conserv). It's much 'easier' to become independent and then go back to your old party. It sounds like you're anti-Labour at the least and I won't ask what party you're inclined towards. But it's just that I've seen this happen before.

      @@scotsam7590 I would never vote Labour, and, since 2016 I won’t vote Conservative. I’m a centrist, I also feel that if you have a political ideology that leads you to Labour or Tory, so much that you join and stand for that party, to leave and join the other shows how opportunistic and shallow your politics are, if you have right of centre beliefs, Labour is not the place for you and vice versa. There have been a couple of recent defections from Tory to Labour, John Bercow being the most prominent. In his case I do get the impression that his politics have changed, and he has moved to a more left-of-centre position, the other MP I don’t know, but it could be he can see the writing on the wall for the Tories and wants to be on the winning side in the next election.
