“BORIS…IN FREE FALL?”

Can a lout like Prime Minister Johnson be saved by taking advantage of the current crisis in Eurasia?

 

By Sir Charlattam

There are certain peculiarities that differentiate populists around the world. Since Donald Trump came to the White House in 2016 the media has seen populists everywhere making ridiculously reductionist descriptions to identify them. Boris Johnson falls into this category and even before he replaced Theresa May many did not credit his rise to power at 10 Downing Street.

There was no need for the “Covid 19” pandemic crisis to derail Johnson's government. The British Conservative elite and especially the political elite loathe him for one simple reason and that is that he belongs to an absurd and horizonless generation that is as delusional as his own figurehead.

I have often believed that had Benny Hill lived a few more years, he might have been one of his toughest political competitors. But to honour the memory of that plump Southampton comedian, he would have been more conscientious and serious in recognising that affairs of state were not for him.

The scandal unleashed by news that Johnson and his supporters were partying hard when the public should have been confined by the pandemic has been the trigger for the beginning of the end of the political career of the would-be successor to “Churchill”. The Daily Mirror published stories from 30 November 2021 by reliable sources about wild parties in the basements and gardens of Downing Street.

On 14 January, a source close to Johnson who attended the party gave more details of a party that may well resemble the Duran Duran pop band's “Anniversary” video. It was impossible to conceal such an orgy of wine, dancing and drunkenness in the rooms of London's Government House, and Johnson had no alternative but to acknowledge in total solitude this slip-up with the phrase “I want to apologise” to the House of Commons, which watched in stunned silence.

Here was the Prime Minister of Great Britain, who wants to revive the glories of Empire caught in a more than complicated caper. He'd gone over the backside of isolation regulations and common law too, but who can put a delusional maniac like Boris Johnson in handcuffs? He is at the pinnacle of power. Who put him there? Of course, it was the British people who honoured him with that office. It is a symptom of the times the country is living in, a reflection of its own instability and lack of seriousness in state policy. And this guy is the one who with BREXIT took Britain out of the EU?

But let's be fair. Many of those who are stoning him today in the yellow media are those who supported him in bringing about BREXIT. Even more. Many of these are those who helped remove Theresa May from the scene when she lost her political asset, because she had lost her political capital months before (in part because of her failure to accuse Putin of poisoning with the “Skripal” charade) she had to leave office. The hypocrisy disgusts at real levels.

Johnson is now a buffoon in dire straits (like Woody Allen in one of his movies) and beyond clamouring for hollow apologies to Her Majesty, the Conservative Party is preparing and sharpening the guillotine to cut off his head and seeing what their political agenda will look like from now on without him.

As for foreign policy, the situation in which it is partnered with the US in Eurasia over Ukraine is getting very dangerous and there is honestly no chance that the Ukrainian army and its amateur reservists can stop a counter-offensive that could be triggered by some stupid move ordered by senile old Biden.  Oh yes, it will certainly be a counter-offensive as it will not be Russia that launches an attack but a response that would be disastrous for NATO.

According to informed sources in Washington, there is a strong arm wrestling match in the Democratic administration between those trying to de-escalate the situation and the neo-conservatives who seek war regardless of the human cost to Europe. And you know what the worst of it is, Boris Johnson supports these imbeciles to demonstrate his unconditional loyalty within the Atlantic Alliance. 

Even within NATO members, things are not as cohesive as they want to portray to the public. France and Germany have no intention of joining a nuclear adventure against Russia when it is clear that London and Washington are pushing Kiev to continue ignoring the Minsk Agreements and the second of these approved by the United Nations in February 2015. It is the american neoconservatives, supporters of war, who do not want Zelensky or anyone who comes after him to recognise the autonomies of Donetsk and Luhansk.

It is foreign minister Liz Truss who has put her finger on the problem after failing in her meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and displaying an unforgivable ignorance of geography and general knowledge, no doubt a civil servant befitting the party-goer minister. The dangerous thing about this is that a government of idiots can only do idiotic things, and we know well that idiots are often more harmful than someone who is evil.

In the meantime, the Western press continues to instigate the rumour that Russia will carry out an invasion very soon, even as some New York media have done, predicting possible dates such as 16º February next, taking President Joe Biden himself as the source of this prediction. But this is more than a supposed scoop, it is a desperate psychological pressure operation that not only operates on global public opinion and the unwary Ukrainian citizens, but also on President Volodymir Zelensky himself, who is still not one hundred percent convinced of all this.

I respectfully warn Zelensky that what he thinks matters little to the Foreign Office here in London and no doubt the dogs of MI6 and special forces (under American orders) are already working tirelessly with the Ukrainian neo-Nazis to light the fuse.

But you know what is most worrying about this whole situation, is that it will be used by this lout (muttley) to use the crisis to save his political career by playing the role of the wartime “crisis leader” and believing himself to be the incarnation of the drunken Churchill.  What a drag!
