Boris Johnson right wing? Hardly.
He wasn’t toppled because of his ideology, either. He was toppled for his dishonesty in holding parties during COVID restrictions (dishonest and entitled behavior) and then upped the ante by lying about it initially.
“Right Wing” to CNN is not wanting to Nationalizing all businesses.
“He was toppled for his dishonesty in holding parties during COVID restrictions (dishonest and entitled behavior) and then upped the ante by lying about it initially.”
May 2020 - lockdown restriction violations by Cummings
May 2021 - funding for redecorating 10 Downing St questioned
December 2021 - Frost resignation over Brexit lawlessness
May 2022 - lockdown party violations (lawlessness)
June 2022 - Pincher accusations of groping men
Al Jazeera seems to think it was the last one that really put him over the top - Johnson’s perceived support for Pincher making it (I guess) impossible to support Johnson in a general election. It is remarkable to me, looking at all this, how little it takes to remove an elected leader with national credentials.
Boris Johnson only superficially resembled Donald Trump, but his thrust of political leanings were far different. Yes, BoJo was and probably still is a populist, but he represented a far different popular stance, in that Britons are habituated to being at heart left-of-center, while Americans are center-right in their outlook.
So a populist American leader is still much to the right of a populist British leader.
“ Boris Johnson right wing? Hardly.”
CNN repaying the word, Republican, in there like clowns. Like Daffy Duck. It doesn’t mean the same thing over there. CNN knows that.
Anyway, Johnson renounced Trump. CNN wishing the grass roots would reject Trump this way. Not understanding why they haven’t yet done so.
They’re clueless.
Thing is, as PM Johnson has to appear in Parliament to answer questions by the opposition. He isn’t provided the questions on a card in advance nor does he get to pick the opposition’s questioner. He is expected to stand on his hind legs and defend himself. Can you imagine Biden able to do such a thing?
His mistake was imposing a lockdown in the first place.
And tolerating this faggot, Chris Pincher.
