Who does Boris Johnson think he is, trying to tell us what we like or don’t?
Big ugly party bore: rather than act on the criticisms implicit in his double by-election defeat, Johnson is trying to tell us that people who voted his Tories out were letting off a “safety valve” and really want him to carry on as if nothing has happened. WRONG! We’re sick of him and the endless torrent of nonsense that flows from his mouth.
Boris Johnson isn’t going to win back voters by trying to tell us all what we think.
After being defeated in two by-elections last Thursday (June 23), Johnson tried to play down their significance by claiming voters are fed up of hearing about things he had “stuffed up”:
Mr Johnson said: “For a long time people were hearing not enough about the things that really matter to them.
“People were absolutely fed up hearing about things I stuffed up, this endless churn of stuff, when they wanted to hear what is this guy doing.”
No – we were fed up of having a prime minister who continually “stuffed” things up, and angry that everything he ever did was wrong, or corrupt, or outright illegal.
“Politics is about allowing people to have the democratic safety valve of letting off at governments, such as in by-elections.
No – politics is about doing what the people tell you to do, not about trying to tell them what they think.
“But then the job of a leader is to say, well, what is the criticism that really matters here?”
No – well, only partially.
And from this evidence, Johnson has drawn the wrong conclusion and is doing the wrong thing yet again.
