he was actually a "useful idiot" for the conservative party. He was likable and got shit done. What the media are telling you is not really substantiated by evidence... His ratings aren't lower because of party gate or the alleged "sexual predator" hiring debacle. The british public could not give a shit (bar the Labour party) about his "mistakes" while he was delivering. Now that the British economy and cost of living are utter shambles, most Brits are starting to resent the government and Boris is the face of it. Like Thatcher was her cabinets face. This is starting to happen in a lot of countries and it isn't a new phenomena.... People don't care about Labour propaganda, defamation and political wars. People care about the economy, their freedom, their way of living, their. Therefore, he was quite right about the herd mentality... in a FPTP parliamentary system, once the leader starts be disliked, most MP's cannot stand the chance of supporting someone and get sacked in the following elections. Then, you also have scavengers, that are dying to take his spot.
@@melgrant7404 Yes , I think those episodes are also available on RUclips. Saw that but since I don't know much about the politicians at that time , except Margaret Thatcher , policies , and decisions made by those people,it will be hard for me to understand it.

But now I know folks like Michael Gove, Preeti Patel and Dominic Raab and their decisions and nature ,so i do understand most.
He "resigned" as leader of the party but not as Prime Minister. He is still technically the Prime Minister. I say resigned in quotation marks as he didn't actually use those words.
"Due to foreseen circumstances." We've all been waiting for this since December at the latest. And it's finally happening! At some point in the hopefully near future.
Penny Mordaunt has a lot to offer - I thought she was a "Dark Horse" in the Tory leadership race. Well, we'll never know now, unless she goes again next time around. She would still be very good as Defence Secretary or maybe Foreign Secretary, with a Naval Reserve background and MP for Portsmouth North. (There is a very good (yes good!) Labour MP for Portsmouth South).
If I could impersonate a Boris voice over like this I'd be phoneing and pranking everyone with it ,by far the best impressionist of Boris out there ,very funny
That puppet also did not ignore basic health advice and go round shaking hands with covid patients....and then get covid (and get to within a hair's breadth of ending up on a ventilator) so all in all it's a considerable upgrade.
@@Lee_303 He was in intensive care and really was not doing well - when the 'positive' news is that a patient has managed to sit up in bed for a while, they are not tickety-boo.
Because how could a better-than-anyone-else narcissist like him to anything else than refuse to leave. Even the idea that he (a better-than-anyone-elser) should even HAVE to get out just because the party and pretty much the entire government told him to go. Anyone would think he was just a person or something. /s
To give Carrie n himself time pack the entire contents of the no°10 flat, all £200.000 worth of their tasteless, overpriced crap, paid for by the tax payer. They're carefully peeling off the wallpaper as we speak. Also they're holding out for their planned chequers wedding 😠 whilst we can't afford to pay for any damn thing 😡
Like any narcissist, he will file it under 'criticism that doesn't matter'. And that is, genuinely, what he did say just last week (about losing 2 tory mps in by-elections).
Who can forget the waiter asking Thatcher about vegtables as she sat with the then cabinet for lunch. Oh they will have the same as me she replied. Classic
Strange innit, that’s the only scene I remember apart from ‘I’ve never met a nice South African’… which I will now be singing in my head for the next few days 🙃
Havin lived through the Thatcher years I can genuinely say I do not regret AT ALL never voting for her.... but, if it was a choice I would rather than vote for 'BoJo'. I think she was very misguided in her ideas of how, in terms of 'have and have nots', to get everyone/most people to be a 'have' but she did (wrongly) at least think that was a possible outcome of her policies. Johnson doesn't give a toss about most people, he has no wider political thoughts, just "let me be the one they call Prime Minister".
