Boris Johnson

I still don't see your point? Your replying to me as if I denied he was racist?

You should try actually listening to them. I agree that both of them have said offensive things in the past, but if that's the majority of what your hearing, it would suggest to me that your not actually listening to them speak, or reading what they write.. but rather your just reading the quotes from them in various left-leaning outlets and on social media.

Its very easy to get the impression, when your getting your information second hand that all these people say is hate, because the only things that they get quoted saying are the hateful things.. in reality the hate is the minority for both of their political careers, and its a tiny part of their platform. I mean, recently I watched trumps interview on good morning britian.. 40 minutes long.. no hate as far as I could hear? Does that mean he never says hateful things, of course not.. but if all your hearing is hate, then you need to either listen more, or get your ears checked.

As for intelligence. To actually believe both are stupid, is a huge sign of bias. Its usually best to presume those you disagree with but are objectively successful are so out of capability, rather than luck.

For trump, he is clearly not academically gifted at all.. but he has the type of intelligence that a used-car-salesman has. Its not your traditional definition of intelligence, but it certainly is an ability that not everyone poseses.. being able to talk your way out of situations and around people, getting people to do what you want and follow you etc. Put an oxford grad in an american car-dealership and all the knowledge in the world won't help them, there is a cognative ability there, which trump-type people posses. I would argue its a form of intelligence (I would also argue that its not the form of intelligence we want in the american president...)

For boris, he clearly is very clever. Listen to him lecture on greek/roman history, or read his writing.. he is a very academically able and intelligent individual, but one who has built a career out of playing the bumbling buffoon. The reason for this is because if you are a tory, there are only two dirrections you can go to get yourself elected. Either you play the every-man tory like cameron and may.. just a regular person, sticking up for normal families etc. Or you play the bumbling rich buffoon like Mogg and Borris.. the alternative is that they actually show what they really are - which is so selfish and greedy that it will never get them elected. So they hide their true nature by either of the two main methods. If Boris presented himself as articulate, posh, well educated, rich etc. he would be despised by most of the voter base.. but if he cultivates an image of a loveable bumbling, cuddly tory, who says funny things and dresses a bit odd.. then a lot of the public who don't follow politics closely, will be tricked into overlooking his real intentions and ability.

But just looking at both of the mens histories shows clearly that they are both more successful then the vast vast majority of men alive, even accounting for their wealth/privileged upbringing. On the balance of things, to presume that its not down to competance, but rather luck or malicious forces beyond their control, is just naieve.

What Eton thought about Boris.

Its cowardice and nothing more. To scared of making a big mistake, that they would rather take the small loss of reputation incured by not showing up, then risk a bigger mistake. Pathetic.

clearly the prospect of Boris is terrifying you. the failure of Mrs May is not ushering in the era of the dismal vindictive Corbyn but of the proud talented patriot BJ.
resorting to his school reports smacks of desperation

Can't tell if parody or not....

really not a fan of Boris dodging the first debate.

Did he not learn the lesson from May? It doesn't make you look like a better leader, or authoratitive at all. There is no excuse for a leader or potential leader dodging the debate.

The Tories gave gone mad. Boris Johnson is the front runner for being leader of the Tory party and therefore, by default, Prime Minister. This is the same racist who refers to black people as pickerninnies with water melons smiles, Muslims who look like letterboxes.... etc. etc. How is this happening?The Tory party has long had issues with diversity and racism.

One word - Farage. They feel a need to lurch into the same gutter that Farage and his pond life buddies and biddies infest.

Anyone dare to predict what's going to happen by the end of the year regarding Brexit?

I predict Boris will be PM, he won't be able to change the deal enough to get it through Parliament, so we'll have to have another election, pro brexit MPs will get in and will leave on WTO.
