Rules:
Johnson concluded: “Of course, I knew he was right, and I secretly agreed with what they all thought, but did not want to say aloud: that the whole thing was nuts.”
His first clue should have been that it was his idea.
But notice how he pretends he secretly agreed it should not be done, even though he proposed it and then did not agree that it was the wrong action at the time, which makes him look severly bonkers, as it should.
Hes just sane washing his own insane actions in his new book, recasting history to make excuses for his bad behavior.
He goes into partygate excuses as well, when his staff were breaking lockdown rules his government set, and claims "ohh, I didn't even have cake at my party. It didn't even occur to me it was a party without cake."
Just complete bollocks.
Wow more of the bojo "I would have got things done but the system stopped me" bollocks.
Would easily have been the worst post WW2 prime minister but was beaten by the car crash that was Liz Truss
Yes, yes, of course I think my idea was nuts. I just didn't want to say so. Totally not lying about it right now.
Bruh, imagine being in the shoes of that Lt Gen and having BoJo tell you to figure out if you could invade the Netherlands. Imagine the restraint it takes to not yell at him right there and then, to carry out a feasibility study in accordance with your orders, then to find a way to present it to him as merely a bad idea instead of a bloody insane one from the outset.
And then you get to worry that he might order its execution anyway and you'd have to start a political mess to avoid starting an international mess.
Uh….ok?
Hah, the English drive on the left because they're backwards. They would immediately bump into regular people's boats and sink.
Boats actually pass on the right on UK canals
