      People think Johnson is clever because he reels off quotes in Latin and Greek. I studied Latin too. I can also quote Kafka in the original German.
      That does not mean I am clever. I think I am average intelligence but with a good memory of my A level studies.
      Somehow, Brits have developed a phobia of learning languages and revere those who are multilingual as intellectual giants. It's absurd

      Oliver's description of Johnson includes that he has no consistency in his principles. Then you leftists compare Graham in the same fashion. Graham has been incredibly steadfast in his "principles", almost never changing his stance on any issue throughout his career, unlike the modern day American Left wing leaders. Are there any Conservatives that you would not slander as far Right?

    • @patricknez7258

      @@markmention966 Lindsey's been consistent? You mean like when he said, "My party has gone nuts.. Donald Trump doesn't have the temperament to be Commander-in-Chief." And now is his lapdog. Or like when he said Trump "better leave Jeff Sessions where he is." And now, doesn't seem to be bothered by how Trump treated Sessions. Or like him saying how much he valued JohncCain, then sucking up to Trump after Trump has repeatedly besmirched McCain after death. Or like when he was demanding they impeach Bill Clinton to "cleanse the office, and restore dignity to the presidency," but now is all for the worst, most immoral president in the history of our country. But that's interesting that you think he's stuck to his principles. You should probably go to South Carolina and tell some of them. Seeing as how in March, outside of his office in Columbia, SC, protestors gathered, literally spelling "Release the Mueller Report" in flip-flops one the ground! The official hashtags were for "Graham to stop #Flip-flopping and #ReleasetheMuelerReport." Since at the time it was being delayed. They actually brought a ton of flip-flops to the protest! Maybe you can tell them how Lindsey has stuck to his values. Sorry to wreck your fantasy about Ol Lindsey.

    The difference between Boris and Trump is that Boris has a dumb/eccentric persona, but is smarter than people realise, and has a way with people. He has managed to avoid getting backstabbed, and while he is being laughed at he (1) became the first conservative lord mayor of London and then (2) became Prime Minister.
    Trump however, isn't pretending to be dumb, he actually is.

      What about the fact he CONSTANTLY LIES.
      If these dont seem dumb then how about this:
      He constantly admits that his views are shaped by the television.
      He constantly states that all news media that doesnt praise him is wrong.
      He held back bills that were popular at the time to pass Bill's that werent (the wall) and shut down the entire government.

      @graham buckley you are mistaken, the 70% number is the TURNOUT (amount of brits voting compared to the population). The actual results were 51.9% leave and 48.1% remain. So very very close knit, and had the british population known more about the consequences of leaving together with the lies that Boris Johnson spouted both during and even 20 YEARS before the vote actually happened. It would have completely changed the results toward a more substantial remain amount.

    The first time I ever saw or heard about Boris Johnson was on a rerun of Top Gear. I got the impression that the man could do nothing but talk straight out of his ass. And when you get that impression from an interview conducted by Jeremy Clarkson, it doesn't bode well.

      I remember that episode when Jeremy Clarkson suggested to Buffoon Boris that perhaps he was hiding a shrewd political brain behind an outward persona of a blithering idiot. Johnson replied that perhaps he was a blithering idiot hiding behind a facade of a blithering idiot. First and only time I have ever agreed with that upper-class, in-bred moron.

      @@aidanhegarty2688 Oh Sweetie never mind but let me help you ... 'In bred'? Oh fuck off ...He is not 'upper class' by any stretch. He only got to Eton by means of a Kings Scholarship and then to Oxford after winning another scholarship because of his exam results. he is incredibly intelligent, well read and has earned his rewards by hard graft. Life gave this man nothing. He earned his education and degree by being the best.

      1chish - Life gave him nothing? I think he had a bit of a head start compared to most of us but otherwise you’re quite correct. Many Labour politicians had a more privileged background than Boris, but they hide it.

      @@1chish Intelligence never ever stands the remotest of chances when bound up in the same mind with unbridled ambition and unfettered arrogance. Here is the crux of the problem. Johnson is so utterly devoid of anything remotely resembling a moral centre that reasonable people can never be sure as to what extend his academic awards were the result of cheating.

      It's pretty hard to tell when someone is telling a joke when they're not being funny. Seems like the producer held up the 'clap' sign more often than the 'laugh' sign, something that will be corrected when Oliver is back on his own show.
