Time wounds all heels! Is Boris Johnson the latest victim of the whole Brexit mistake?

No. Boris Johnson is a victim of Boris Johnson.

I wonder how long Trump would have lasted as British prime minister.

@LostInParadise There couldn’t have been a Trump under a parliamentary system. Trump would have needed to have been legitimately elected to office, risen through the ranks of the legislature, and chosen by his party as prime minister.

Trump was a freakish creation of the U.S. electoral college.

@Love_my_doggie – no way. Johnson is exactly a UK Trump. Just another silver spooned piece of shit, career bullshit artist who shielded himself with endearing oafishness. Johnson was slightly more qualified, but he still leveraged lies and insults to work the systems of power and place himself atop the establishment. It was just within a different system, so the manner and methods were a bit different.

The whole world is the victim of brexit. Johnson was a consequence of that massive own goal, as was his shitty leadership and pathetic downfall.

I wouldn’t call him a victim in any way, shape or form.

And Britain will survive and thrive again. Brexit was a terrible mistake but their political system is salvageable and the populace somewhat smarter than ours.

When he went into office, I found him a bit odd!!! Sadly, our oddball made him appear sane.That said, it was only a matter of time & he lasted longer than I ever thought he would!!! I feel that he worked at shooting himself in the foot, so I can’t blame anything on Brexit!!!

No, he is a self made victim of his own pompous arrogance.

I would call him a victim.
Mostly because in German, victim can be used as an insult, meaning loser or idiot.

I bet Theresa May is having a BIG old laugh today!!!

I wonder if he would have done better or worse if he had a mirror and comb.

As it is, this kind of ouster isn’t uncommon in Britain.

@filmfann
I have heard that his unkempt hair is entirely intentional, to give people the impression of a “likeable oaf” and to cause his enemies to underestimate him.

I thought he liked 45’s hairdo so much that he decided to use the same stylist!!

Don’t be drawn in by the disheveled hair & eccentric buffoon persona. He wears this costume to mask the bullying, unpleasant clown he really is.

Boris Johnson was elected as prime minister by his party as a conservative to get
Brexit done. The English public just seemingly didn’t want to subjugate their
country and economy to an unelected globalist EU. To the chagrin of the globalists
in America.

Boris wasn’t a victim of Brexit he was sacked because he told one lie too many to the House of Commons and the British people.

de Pfeffel Johnson isn’t any sort of victim.

He is the very worst product of the British Class system. An arrogant, lazy narcissist and sociopath, and a crypto-fascist.

Utterly incompetent in every way except worming his way into power and influence through his manipulative charms, social status and background (and lots of free publicity from a fawning media and overwhelmingly right-wing press)

Brexit won him power and got his government elected in 2019. He’s been riding high on Brexit, and it’s not done him any harm. Brexit was a huge wedge issue for the opposition party, used at the time to undermine and politically damage Jeremy Corbyn.

He got complacent, as no scandal or act of gross incompetence had any political effect on him until now.

The crux of it is is that the press barons and ruling class have got tired of him. The opposition party is back in the hands of a liberal lickspittle and isn’t a threat to the established order, and so there’s no incentive to keep propping up Johnson.

There was no real reason that the Chris Pincher scandal of all the scandals, acts of appalling judgement, and gross incompetence and neglect, should have been the one to take down Johnson. The reputation and sexual misconduct of Chris Pincher has been known since 2017.

No one cared that Johnson had knowingly appointed a sex pest (The Tory Party is full of sexual deviants, perverts, reprobates, and worse).

They only care now, and made it a story now, because now is the time they decided to oust Johnson. And the most likely reason is because of consistently underwhelming polling numbers, and the fact he’s not actually that liked in his own parliamentary party (the base and party members are the ones who love him.)

He’s not the victim of the Brexit mistake. He’s the perpetrator, he and Nigel Farage. The UK is one of the victims.
