Opinion The downfall of Boris Johnson, incompetent liar
“He’s finished. There’s no way he will survive this,” said Lord Heseltine, the grand old man of Britain’s ruling Conservative Party. He was talking about Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s latest self-inflicted wound, and he’s an expert in such matters: it was Heseltine who brought down that other Conservative hero, Margaret Thatcher.
Javid’s resignation letter was particularly brutal: “I can no longer, in good conscience, continue serving in this government ... The tone you set as leader, and the values you represent, reflect on your colleagues, your party, and ultimately the country ... This situation will not change under your leadership - and you have therefore lost my confidence.”
On Tuesday, a former senior civil servant said he had personally warned Johnson about appointing Pincher. Suddenly, in a snap YouGov opinion poll on Tuesday evening, 69 per cent of Britons were saying he should resign. Only 18 per cent thought he should stay in office.Even a majority of the people who voted Conservative in the last election thought Johnson should resign at once.
This is the behaviour of a sociopath . It refers to people who are usually male, intelligent and charming. They have serial relations with women and leave many children behind. They are solipsistic and manipulative – and frequent, persuasive liars.
