I do wonder sometimes if BJ does things like this on purpose?
There is a local expression here in the West Country...
"Crafty Dafty."
Fits bunter depiffles behaviour to a tee.

This is a few years old but I don't think much has changed.

According to Raab, Johnson is an "“ebullient, bouncy, optimistic, Tiggerish character". It's been a while since I last read Winnie The Pooh (to my children), but I don't remember Tigger being a lazy, unprincipled, venal, libidinous, dishonest fat chancer.
That’s no way to describe our Jennifer!You'd certainly never catch Tigger cleaning his cock on your curtains before shafting your pet pig!
In our house, Boris has been renamed '**** Off Boris'. It seems to help.
Interesting, because it is generally taken to be true that the middle of a national crisis (such as a war, pandemic, or similar) is not the time for a change of leadership. Perhaps the view is being taken that as 'leadership' is not much in evidence, a change at the top won't distract from the job at hand in the way it might otherwise do.

I`m not so sure - remember what Ian Hislop said :-
"Boris Johnson, people always ask me the same question, they say, 'Is Boris a very very clever man pretending to be an idiot?' And I always say, 'No.'"
He's certainly not the great intellect he believes himself to be. A salutary example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
So how did a thick batshit nonentity do it? Ah a master conman and compulsive liar.I know these Oxford classics types, I taught Philosophy to them, I studied at classes alongside them, some of my own teachers and colleagues had read Greats. I was there when BJ was there in fact. They are very clever intellectually: diligent, articulate, industrious, critical, constructive and imaginative. You don't get a scholarship to Balliol without being very good, and you don't get through the four year honours course without being very good. The competition is enormous and the standard is high.
