Now it's being reported (widely) that Saint Theresa is going to demote Boris. I wonder if this will provide an indication as to how much power she has e.g. demote him to Home Secretary=May pretty weak but demote him to toilet attendant=May feeling more confident/secure.
e.g. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/theresa-may-prime-minister-cabinet-reshuffle-boris-johnson-foreign-secretary-brexit-a7988781.html and https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/oct/08/theresa-may-prepared-demote-boris-johnson
Trouble is that even as toilet attendant, Boris would still spend his time insulting people, upsetting others. For somebody with such an expensive education Boris is remarkably stupid.

Theresa's speech.
Re: Theresa's speech.
As I recollect it, an 'expensive education' is no guarantee of intelligence. I - for my sins - spent my time as an undergraduate at Oxford (at least I wasn't paying for it). The college I was at, was littered with oafs of the 'hooray henry' type - mostly alumnae of Harrow rather than Eton, but little difference. They spent their time drinking, womanising, having noisy parties etc. If you've read Evelyn Waugh's satire Decline and Fall (or watched the recent TV drama), you'll know the type.Psamathe wrote:For somebody with such an expensive education Boris is remarkably stupid.
Incidentally, the fictitious 'Bollinger Club' featured in the novel, was based on the real-life Bullingdon Club in which Boris, Cameron, and various other Tory nobs participated. But, oddly enough, I don't recall ever having heard the word 'Bullingdon' during my time in Oxford. Clearly I needed to get out more, back then! I was evidently one of the 'quiet' ones - a sort of 'Paul Pennyfeather' if you like - though my subject was Physics, not Theology - and I've not been sent to jail! Yet!

How bizarre, I was looking at this image when I posted it and thought he had the trump "micromouth"( we need to check for microhands too ). Perhaps DT visited a north korean brothel 35yrs ago on a business trip.
He clearly has a useless barber and seemingly plucks his eyebrows! I don't believe they grow that way. Needs to get a bike and shift the weight instead of farting about with rockets.
