Everytime someone posted the latest car-crash video of Trump during his presidency I kept thinking someone's got to step in and save the idiot from himself, and the world from him, but never happened - huge sense of deja vu at the moment .
I think we all know what his legacy is, and it involves a pig's head.By God, Cameron was pigging awful wasn't he? Just seeing his plump, self-satisfied porcine face again induces utter rage. Entirely lacking in ability or talent, but an Etonian & an Oxbridge man - therefore suitable for the top job. And what will his legacy be, what will he be remembered for? Giving the green light to the EU referendum and trying to persuade the electorate to vote Remain, but typically making a ham-fisted hash of that. He told a lot of porkies about the red menace of Milliband too, when the most notable thing the latter had done was eat a bacon sandwich.
Gordon the Gopher World... Swine Parade, "Getting Piggy With it"I think that's one of Rosie's best so far! I had to watch a couple times to get all the references!
Yes - I recall someone supposedly close to him saying he had no idea being a PM would entail this much hard work... Gawd alone knows what he thought it would be like, maybe attending fancy banquets, some amusing speeches with a spot of Latin tossed in, and lots of holidays...? Well he's doing OK on the last one anyway.Another factor is that Johnson has no real grit and determination - and being prime minsister is less and less fun - so he may be happy to fuck it off when it becomes to much like hard work

TBH. I don't see him going anywhere at the moment, it's not the kind of job where you give it a go for a year or two, particularly if you have the deluded view that you are a peacetime Churchill. Nor will the party seriously think about ditching him till Labour get 6 months of poll leads. However I agree with the underlined - he really is a lazy bastard, one of the many reasons he's unfit for the job. He'll probably knuckle down for a month or so, doing some proper speeches, learning a few - gasp - facts! But then he'll revert to type. I suppose he's, literally, what he is - a Spectator journalist used to bluffing it, combining issues with bluster and rhetoric. The real question is what happened to British politics to allow this turd to float to the surface.Its a valid point - but Trump had a lot more power and influence than johnson - particularly amongst party members and his rabid supporters. Also - as head of state - far more difficult to remove - death, impeachment or serious incapacity being the only options - whearas a simple vote by mps can do for a prime minister . Also their may well be enough details of his financial and personal dodginess to force him to go if he didnt want it leaked to the press/police/investigating bodies.
Johnson support amongst the tory PLP is purely transactional - they will support him as long as he provides votes and with brexit "done" he is no longer needed by the brexit headbangers.
If carries on like this I think his days are numbered.
Another factor is that Johnson has no real grit and determination - and being prime minsister is less and less fun - so he may be happy to fuck it off when it becomes to much like hard work - same as with the women who have his kids.
I think the social care changes look extremely toxic - poll tax-esque in their unfairness - everyone paying the same meaning those who own "cheap" housing lose loose pretty much everything - those in more expensive homes - especially in the south east - only a fraction. Its a really great way to really piss off most of your older voters outside of London and the home counties.
its fellow Tories firing shots across his bow via their media pallsHe lost his place for 20 seconds or so during a 25 minute speech. So what - who cares except for TV or newspaper editors who can make a story out of it? It doesn't mean anything.

I mean fucked in the head, not in the polls.I really don't think he's fucked. He could shamble along like this for a decade and still be voted in.
