Boris Johnson And the Suicide Vest
Boris Johnson has been behaving like Boris Johnson again.
Prime Minister Theresa May is doing whatever it is she does regarding Brexit.
She came up with an idea that is known as ‘The Chequers Deal’ on the grounds that it was thrown together during a meeting at the Prime Ministerial retreat of Chequers.
No points for originality there then.
Boris, along with more ardent Brexiteers, don’t like this ‘Chequers Plan’ at all.
In fact, Boris dislikes it so much that he accused Theresa May of wrapping a suicide vest around Britain.
That clearly means he believes this deal would not be a ‘true’ Brexit.
Some people got quite upset at his analogy.
As far as I can tell, they got upset because innocent people have died as a result of lunatics in suicide vests.
Fair enough.
What I don’t quite get is why anybody should waste their time getting upset about Boris Johnson’s analogy.
It’s Boris! It’s what he does and what he always does and what he’s always done.
Boris will be Boris until he shuffles off his mortal coil.
The bottom line is unless Boris says something that incites hatred or violence then, like the rest of us, he is free to be as controversial, rude, obnoxious, infantile, condescending, patronizing and etc as he likes.
Rather like Trump, Boris thrives on the oxygen of publicity.
Like Trump, his every utterance is splashed across the media and his ego is massaged.
Getting vocally outraged with him for his suicide vest analogy does precisely what he desires.
Boris Johnson’s detractors are his oxygen.
Talk about your enemies being your friends! Johnson loves his enemies. Without them, he might be forgotten, and in the world of Boris, that would never do.

Not that old ‘Boris will be Boris’ crap. Until recently he was the Foreign Secretary and he’s still an MP ffs! He needs to bugger off and join trump two of a kind, nobody with a brain cell cares what they say.
Trump and he look like twins almost, and their political philosophies are just as nutty, if they actually have philosophies.
To give him his due…unlike Trump, Boris can spell philosophies 😀
Possibly so 🙂
