Johnson is everything a country's leader should not be - he is a liar, a cheat, corrupt, racist, homophobic. While the position deserves respect, Johnson deserves nothing but contempt. 

Lets have some evidence, especially the racist bit, and don't say the out of context letterbox quote, where he was actually defending Muslims right to wear what they like, however oppressive and ridiculous. Yes he was all for the EU in his book the dream of Rome and was even in favour of Turkey joining, only fools never change their minds.

The common theme of this thread is that there is so much bile from the usual suspects, albeit it bitchy gossip girl mode. 

 

Clearly Harry is just a brainless twit goes the narrative, manipulated by a scheming woman (an ‘outsider’ cause we want to be seen as PC) who’s out to screw him. 

 

No doubt the best place for a woman for these men is silent and in the corner. 
 

And when it all goes tits up (which.it.will...) it will all be HER fault.

 

Have I got the ‘let’s blame her script’ right lads?  Asking for a friend...

Johnson is a liar - he has been sacked on two occasions for lying: from The Times, for inventing a quote then lying about inventing it; from the Tory front bench for lying about having an affair with a journalist. As for Turkey - he even lied about them imminently joining the EU.

 

Johnson is a cheat - his multiple extra marital affairs are surely sufficient testament to that.

 

Johnson is corrupt - of course, corrupt can mean several things. His morally corrupt behaviour is beyond doubt (see Johnson is a cheat); the stench of financial corruption is ripe with him also, from the millions of pounds of public money which was spirited away on the Garden Bridge through to his awarding public contracts to his squeeze of the moment, Jennifer Arcuri.

 

Johnson is a racist - I think his use of the letterbox term is telling in itself, however how about 'picanninies' or those with 'watermelon smiles'? Maybe when he called Obama the 'Part Kenyan President'?

 

Johnson is a homophobe - wrote about 'tank-topped bumboys' and likened gay marriage to bestiality. 

 

There is plenty more, but I think we all know how to google. Please, however, feel free to explain to me why I am being unfair on the man, and that he is actually a great bloke.

The prime minister is so 'racist' he appoints one Asian as home secretary and another as chancellor of the exchequer, everything else is just clutching at straws and colorful language, it's what he does as prime minister that is important not off the cuff remarks made years ago.

Yours and my interpretations of his history and comments are entirely subjective so there is no right or wrong answer. I simply know that my moral compass tells me that the man is not good, decent or honourable, and that he does not demonstrate the human qualities and traits I would wish my elected representatives to possess.

Yes, you've got the script right.

Not only the script, but the reality that followed it.

Spot on.

It was a foreseeable disaster from the beginning.

Now the real tabloid circus will get underway
