Current Affairs The Conservative Party

with respect, if you ever criticize johnson you qualify it shortly after which doesn't make for much of a critique. Johnson won a majority with the most dishonest campaign i can remember, he has zero fear of lying or destroying lives as it won't affect his popularity, which in itself is a insult to humankind.

I don't think that's true tbf. I don't like the guy and I can't believe he's the British Prime Minister, but I don't let my dislike of him mask my judgement. Just because he invariably does and says bad things doesn't make him incapable of doing something right or telling the occasional truth. I just call things as I see it and I believe he will try and deliver on his promises to the Labour leave vote because he will see it as the easiest route to re-election in 5 years time. But that's not dumming down my critique of him, on the contrary it merely serves to emphasise his opportunist and selfish nature. If you can't see that then I'm sorry.

As regards the bit I highlighted, it was the grammar I couldn't understand. It didn't make any sense to me and still doesn't. I wasn't trying to catch you out or point score.

The inevitable addition if ever you critique johnson

The inevitable addition if ever you critique johnson

If you go through life with the blinkered view that things are black and white you will invariably end up disappointed.

I use the word "but" a lot, because I'm able to look at both sides of things. It isn't just restricted to Boris Johnson.

His back side is just as disagreeable as his front side.

I wouldn't argue with that. But.....

How will he "deliver on his promises to the (ex) Labour voters? " Short answer....He won't. (IMO of course).

Adding complete fairy dust to a half hearted critique is not looking at both sides. A lie is not a side of the story its just a lie

That's fine mate. At least you admit, like I do, that it's just an opinion.

Time will tell which one of us is right.

Generally, people don't expect manifesto promises to have been completed within a week of taking office. You'll have to wait for the budget until the spending is announced.

Just checked, they have been in power since 2010.

Had conversation with someone Monday, Brexiteer and voted Tory, I've heard their mullings every week since April... The conversation was get Brexit done, get money back and stop people coming to the UK. Then went on to describe the terrible wait in getting an NHS appointment staff shortages and how its being managed, as i was in work role I gently guided them to December 12th, and maybe ask the electorate the 44% that voted Tory... The mouth just opened with a vacant stare.
