Boris Johnson’s state of being: making stupid remarks, being out of touch with reality in believing that he is an influential leader and confident in the support of his party. How the conservative party can continue to let him occupy his position is beyond belief.
Quote:
"I know that it's the instinct of the people of this country, like the people of Ukraine, to choose freedom, every time. I can give you a couple of famous recent examples…When the British people voted for Brexit in such large, large numbers, I don't believe it was because they were remotely hostile to foreigners…It's because they wanted to be free to do things differently and for this country to be able to run itself."
That he can possibly make
comparison between that ridiculous referendum and Putin’s rather brutal
invasion of the Ukraine, is testament to his continuing ability to make asinine
and senseless comments, as well as demonstrating his skewered view of the
reasons certain citizens voted to leave the European Union. It is a lie and he
knows it. It is his continuing habit of misrepresentation, and if he is unaware of
that, then his asininity is ingrained and dangerous in a prime minister.
His remarks have been called offensive and his comparisons ‘insane’ and "insulting', by various European political figures as well as attracting disapproval from a number of his own party, although not in sufficient numbers required to see the back of him.
His stooges rush to his defence. Mr Sunak stated "I don't think the prime minister was making a direct comparison between these two things - clearly they're not directly analogous." ‘He was making some general observations about people's desire for freedom," he added. Mr Sunak said the prime minister had been galvanising global opinion to send a strong message to Vladimir Putin, and "that's the thing we should be focused on".
Note: “not directly analogous” “general observations about people's desire for freedom” “galvanising global opinion”. How Mr Sunak can bring himself to utter these words is something he will have cause to regret. What he says is obviously sycophantic and will, in the end, serve him no purpose. Boris Johnson couldn’t galvanize a bucket, and could care less about people’s freedom. Why else his crime bill to arrest and imprison civil protest? Why else his blocks on immigration, or so called checks? Why else his continuing misrepresentation of the facts?
There is an excellent opinion piece in the Guardian of Saturday the 12th February 2022 bv Nic Cohen entitled:
Lies come in all shapes and sizes. This government is familiar with them all
You will find it at: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/feb/12/lies-lies-and-more-lies-a-government-built-on-lies-is-incapable-of-anything-else
It is well worth a read.
