Yeah I've read the speech thing before, doesn't really do anything to dissuade me from viewing him as a genuine buffoon!

I've heard bits of that before, but it's astonishing to read the whole thing.

Looking at admirers of Johnson is like looking at followers of a cult. I just don't understand the appeal, but I can see just how devoted they are. Same as Trump in the US.

strawberry float knows how we deprogram an entire country.


It feels like he's the manifestation of the del boy falls through the bar sketch. He knows what a certain audience wants, and just gives them that every time and to hell with anything else.

Complete bunch of strawberry floating banana splits who've ruined the UK in a way that'll take 50 years to reverse.

I think a lot of people instinctively hate clever people, especially clever people who seem to have their gooseberry fool together, and they particularly hate clever people with their gooseberry fool together who show compassion towards the less fortunate. It's because most people are not clever people, and they don't have their gooseberry fool together, and they don't really care about the less fortunate, so deep down they are insecure about all of these things, because they feel like they are stupid, messed up, heartless banana splits. No one likes to feel insecure, so if someone comes along who makes it seem alright to be a stupid, messy banana split who doesn't go on about helping the less fortunate, they'll happily jump into the cosy warmth of self-validation.

That's part of it.

But what they really hate is clever people from the same or lower class than them.

That's why they can simultaneously hate the "university educated metropolitan elite" while loving somebody like Rees-Mogg (he isn't clever or all that posh, but they think he is).

It's the know your place thing that's baked into British society. The son of a builder shouldn't have degrees and rise up. How bloody dare he! He's forgotten where he comes from!

But somebody like Rees-Mogg? Now that's a fine gentlemen! Look he speaks Latin and went to Eton! He knows what's best for us! *tugs forelock*

That's why whenever you get someone who has earned success, usually within popular culture, they're always so extremely desperate to shout about how they HAVEN'T 4GOT MY ROOTS.

Yep.

My brother-in-law was outraged once when my wife said Boris was stupid. "But but but, he's educated! He went to Eton". People literally believe that your parents having enough money to pay for a school so you can memorise Latin makes you clever. It's depressing.

To get money one must be educated, therefore if he had enough money to go to Eton then he must also be clever.

New Zealand trade deal:
The deal may boost New Zealand’s GDP by $970m or around 0.3%. However, last year’s analysis by the UK government found that its effect on Britain’s GDP would probably have “limited effect … in the long run” – being between a positive growth of 0.01% or negative growth of -0.01%.
