Johnson officially resigned as Prime Minister last week, so we wanted to take some time to reflect on his tenure. From how Johnson ended up in Number 10 to why he eventually saw his grand vision come crumbling down.

I love how Brexit was "Done" in the same manner as a student deciding to start their essay a few hours before it is due and submitting an incomplete work. Yeah, you technically did it...

@BernasLL Год назад

Worse, using an incomplete work completely copied off of a colleague, whose quality of work Boris kept talking trash about, as she feels constrained not to point that out.

@Peregrine1989 Год назад

So its kinda like Trump. People are used to politicians lying and backflipping, but being sneaky about it. Boris and Trump are SUPER BLATANT about what they do. So some people think that means they are joking.... some people think that means they are more honnest in their lies.... some people just see them as more trustworthy because its easier to see through their lies. Some people just hate the standard political class and thus this is a breath of fresh air. Popularism is always a result of people not trusting Politicans anymore, and ends ONLY when either a dictator scares everyone else back to voting standard OR the politicans win back trust.... ususally both.

I’m starting to doubt Legasov’s words.. (if that’s what he really said that is… Not sure if they made that line up for the TV series or it’s actually something he said) Some people like Clinton, Obama and/or Trump literally get away with murder (and in some cases, rap (e)) and lies and they will live comfortably for the rest of their lives without any serious consequences… Same with Johnson I mean what is the debt here? He’s lost his job… wow what a punishment lol if I behaved at my job like that I would’ve been gone long ago… Other than that there are no real consequences for Johnson

BoJo got his big majority on the ticket to "get Brexit done" and nothing else. He then went on to deliver Brexit by imply accepting the so passionately rejected border checks in the Irish Sea, seemingly intending to never implementing them once the deal was signed. So one could say that his greatest successes were entirely based on lies.

@chiaraimpeduglia1308 Год назад

The fact is that he based Brexit on the same facts that every politician uses to get people who do not want to think about others to agree with him. He said that Europe was draining UK, thet it was Europe's fault that things were going badly, that immigration too was Europe's fault and that UK would only prosper if it went back to isolating itself. Less than a century later, it seems that we are watching the world go back to pre second world war times. Only, this time we have atomic bombs. I'm almost relieved that this is happening. If we humans go extinct maybe tha planet has an actual chance to save itself. And i know that i should not say it, after all i'm alive too, but i frankly would not care to die at this point. I see it as a struggle against things that i can do little to stop. I mean, i try to stay positive and build myself a life, but everytime that something like this happens, it reminds me that everything could be taken away from me in an istant, and my will to live dies a little bit more. And i do not mean by death, i mean by some politicians in power that might decide that i am no longer considered a person.

I am not sure. It could be the new style of "strong man" and "cult of personality": a vain man presents complete confidence, but at the same time presents a ridiculous side that cause people to laugh at him (and disarm caution). Add in the disregard for process (i.e. constitution and due process and precedent and personal loyalty) and a press and public willing to not call him on what he previously said or did. There are even rabid supporters who will attack any questioning of the leader. It's the same reason in many ways that Trump was able to succeed and still has supporters.

If the government are responsible for its failings like PPE and capacity, why aren’t they also responsible for its successes? The gov made the vaccine programme incredibly simple. If we could have that same investment and staffing and dedication to the cause, we’d clear the backlogs within a year. You think Covid was bad? Wait until the death toll from backlogs is added in.

@MrMartinSchou Год назад

I said from almost day one, that May should have appointed Boris Johnson as the chief EU negotiator and Nigel Farage as his deputy. That would have removed their ability to attack her progress, because anything they said could be shot down with either "you refused the offer to do it properly" or "it was your job to do this", and similarly any and all attacks from the ERB could be pawned off on those two. After all, who could possibly be better suited for the job than the two leaders of the leave campaign?

Nigel Farage wasn’t an MP though, I guess as a MEP he could of had such a position. Other than that, I completely agree.

And you could easily make the argument that due to his long carreer as an MEP, Farage would be uniquely qualified for the role of deputy Brexit negotiator.

He became party leader because he was the least unpopular candidate at a time when many tories didn't want to deal with the consequences of the brexit result. He won the election because the main opposition party sabotaged itself and our supposedly free press decided to resemble the media in a dictatorship whereby the opposition was a danger greater than the party in power and because FPTP meant a majority was possible despite getting a third of the available vote.

Boris of course was made editor of the Spectator on the promise he would not stand for Parliament. A promise that he of course proceeded to break. Who could think this man would make a good MP?

These might not have been the issues that turned his party against him, but they are certainly among the reasons that the country as a whole began to loathe him.

Didn't Russia introduce a 'Sputnik' vaccine in August 2020 - several months before the UK? And Brexit isn't done btw - the Good Friday Agreement and the need to keep borders open between Ireland and Northern Ireland has meant it's still a festering issue between the UK and the EU

@Hession0Drasha Год назад

The idea that the uk deserved a special position within the eu, was flawed and the height of hubris in the first place. "Treat us like we are better than you, or we'll leave" only could have gone one way. The problem is it's now transformed into "Treat us like we're special or we'll break all our international agreements and throw an epic tantrum"

I loved your breakdown And the story of Boris and then you came to the energy crisis. I think we all know that only about 20% is due to the war in Ukraine. Can you please present another side or a theoretical side from what we have been told about the energy crisis and why other places in the world have only increased their energy prices slightly like in France at 4%

@MalloonTarka Год назад

For France at least it is probably due to them relying mostly on nuclear power.

@pritapp788 Год назад

@@MalloonTarka Not at all, a great number of the nuclear reactors are not even in service at the moment! True reason is electricity supply in France is not fully privatised and the state still has a say in energy prices. In UK it's all privatised: in other words, the government just bends over and accepts whatever prices the suppliers want to set.

My coworker also has a kid who goes to highschool here. Highschools in Britain are pathetically terrible and above all, classist. Most of all. Torrie voters have been buying their government lies about how everything was EU fault, despite British government and MEPs being responsible for it.

WE can only elect what's put in front of us and then you have to decide if it's worth voting for who you want as it might get wasted. The thinking goes along the lines of, if I vote green I might as well not bother, and the same for 4 other parties. there are then 3 parties, right, middle, and left. The middle party bit of a pointless vote as well so left/right. So you have 2 parties. one loony left the other Boris (or another tax evader). Who are we supposed to vote for?

That said, I'm sorry, I know it's not the main topic, but I have to ask: why on earth is the word "rape" censored? It's neither a swearword nor are slur. If someone's a rapist, especially someone elected to represent us, I like it said out loud, no softening. I hope it's not because people are too sensitive to hear the word. In that case, I inform you that trigger avoidance is not a therapeutic strategy to rape-induced ptsd, but a symptom, so you'd be enabling the sickness in people. Shielding people from causes of distress is just fashionable, but highly damaging.

I wonder where would Johnson be if he didn't back Brexit. I'm pretty sure he wanted Cameroon's job and at the very least he wanted to be part of Cabinet, so sticking with their current leader would just mean the job is occupied longer, meaning that's more time Johnson doesn't have a chance. Would he just fade into obscurity, find a scandal, be part of Cabinet, or eventually be PM anyways?

@Marcusjnmc Год назад

Johnson was expected to become Con candidate for prime minister at some point after he'd successfully became mayor of london just because it proved he was a liberal conservative considered to be electable by lib dem & liberalised labour constituents vs how unelectable most tories have historically been in those demographics, if a party can capture a swing vote they typically will aim to do so, & he did deliver a pretty major swing in formerly labour areas off the back of the brexit swing vote alongside a demographic & policy shift in the local conservative membership in those areas
