Westminster Politics

Priti Patel has turned on him. Genuinely surprised by that but she's probably going with the flow now.
 
I've just googled 'psychopath' and this was the first item that came up:

Signs of psychopathy
  • behaviour that conflicts with social norms.
  • disregarding or violating the rights of others.
  • inability to distinguish between right and wrong.
  • difficulty with showing remorse or empathy.
  • tendency to lie often.
  • manipulating and hurting others.
  • recurring problems with the law.
I mean that's Boris summed up. In my opinion he's a psychopath.

Perhaps 'sociopath' is even more on the money - from https://health.clevelandclinic.org/...~:text=Sociopathy is another term for,Coulter.:

  • Not understanding the difference between right and wrong.
  • Not respecting the feelings and emotions of others.
  • Constant lying or deception.
  • Being callous.
  • Difficulty recognizing emotion.
  • Manipulation.
  • Arrogance.
  • Violating the rights of others through dishonest actions.
  • Impulsiveness.
  • Risk-taking.
  • Difficulty appreciating the negative aspects of their behavior.
 
I hope the Tories cock this up and we end up with a 2022 General Election with Boris still PM leading up to it. They had their chance to get rid of him a couple of weeks back and they're only feigning outrage because public opinion has turned.

I'm not a doctor. Psychopath, sociopath, twat, he's one of them at any rate, if not all three.
 
Are we going to have a functional government left by tomorrow? More resignations coming surely...

I would have thought all those ministers who have supposedly told him it's time to go will leave en mass tonight / tomorrow at a certain time if he's not resigned

At that point yes the government in practical terms can't really function till he can fill at least the major posts

I thought he would be gone tonight... Now I'm not so sure he just does not seem to care that it's clearly over for him he's just bumbling along
 
This is how dictatorships are born. Even in a parliamentary system as strong as ours. Sociopaths who only want power will do everything to hold onto it. Democracy is so so fragile

I thought he would be gone before Christmas! Wrong again.
 
If he doesn't go after this, we're ending up with a proper bunch of deplorables in very significant positions. It feels significant, and not in a good way.

What has happened today has only been possible due to the last few years of Tory Governments ripping up democratic norms and conventions which have been the basis of the unwritten constitution for decades if not centuries.

David Cameron has to take his share of the blame for holding a referendum with absolutely no planning for what to do if he lost, and then walking away and not dealing with any of the consequences.
 
Boris Johnson and Donald Trump. The worst leaders in the free world in modern times...easily. What a shitshow. I don't remember any PM lying as much as this clown has.
