COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN RUSSIA INSIDER
“Senior British
politicians continue to lead in the buffoonery sweepstakes heading into the
weekend”
"Boris Johnson
Accuses Putin of Murder"
It would puzzle any clear-thinking person, but you have to
look back on Boris's career to realize this kind of stupidity is not unusual
for him.
His has had many rocky experiences and said many
controversial and, indeed, untrue things.
And, from the start, he and Theresa May had real
differences. They do not particularly like each other.
She only appointed him because her own hold on the Conservative
Party is less than firm, and she needed support from his faction.
He only serves under her because he has strong ambitions to
take her place one day.
I do suspect he is viewed by many Conservatives as too
erratic ever to enjoy enough support towards achieving his ultimate ambition.
But he proves his loyalty to her leadership - something in
doubt in the past - by this kind of echoing of her insupportable charges. He
tries even “going one better,” in keeping with his reputation for the
unexpected and even outrageous.
He's actually a rather pathetic figure.
