“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!
