I can't because you could be right.
I don't know. All seems fine and normal to me.

When this photo was circulated around the family, it was the subject of much hilarity at my expense. I couldn't see the joke and I remember the time very well.
I was out of step with Dad and Big Sis. "Out of step" is normal to me and I still can't see the joke even now.

My problem with Johnston is he was a crap foreign secretary, a post which imo is a subset of the skills required for PM.

OTOH, I wonder who's actually tugging his strings?
Nobody with any brains would actually want to be PM at this point in time surely? If you've got the nounce you'd install a fall guy and grab their remote...

<Edit> fixed job title.

This is where we're at.

The chairman of the Conservative Muslim Forum has compared Boris Johnson to Adolf Hitler and said he would quit the party if the former foreign secretary is elected as leader

The Tory party is an utter disgrace.

Yes we’ve seen the ‘runners’ but who are the owners and trainers?

I think runners is more on the order of 'grab & run'.

Easy - follow the money.

Johnson is bankrolled by the Daily Telegraph, owned by the Barclay Brothers.

They are billionaire tax avoiders, domiciled on Sark.

It's all about fighting against political elites, dontcha know.

Foriegn Sec surely?
and I agree.

I thought him at the time of his appointment a clever choice.
Boy was I disappointed.

Solace awaits.
Think Titanic and icebergs.

He was better as Home Secretary than he was as Foreign Sec., to be fair

Looks to me that you are skipping with excitement when you launch your boat.
Or is it the evil thought of sinking it with your stick

If BoJo does end up winning the house of horrors number 10 musical chairs game, which looks very possible, they do have the option of locking Buffoon Johnson up in the basement while substituting the new PM with very level headed brother JoJo.

They look a bit similar, i'm sure if JoJo walked with a pretend stoop and waved his arms around a bit, people won't notice the difference until after the conformationally referendum!

Yes - that's the question - and the worry.
