Eh?

'Your self-esteem...will...far outweigh that of your critics'.
Eh?
You will love yourself more than you are hated by others?
Sounds more like he is writing to his erstwhile departmental head Boris.

Is Johnson a lame duck before he has started?

Don't think lameness is the biggest issue with the 'duck' that he's inheriting...

If everyone who enters his orbit is charmed by him why do so many of the parliamentary tory party loathe him?

Johnson as a heavenly body. Not working for me.

An odd article, with the oddest bit being this:

People say he can’t ‘do detail’. But nobody spends four years studying classics at Oxford without the power to absorb and retain a mass of abstract information. The master of Balliol, Sir Anthony Kenny, used to teach Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics by quoting large chunks of it in the original and inviting his students to compare one paragraph with another. He spoke more Greek than English in his tutorials.

... which I presume is from the same Sir Anthony Kenny who said:

That said, he reserves some of his most damning comments for Boris Johnson. Kenny saw Johnson last in May 2017. “As he departed, I reflected ruefully on the college’s part in his education.

“We had been privileged to be given the task of bringing up members of the nation’s political elite. But what had we done for Boris? Had we taught him truthfulness? No. Had we taught him wisdom? No. What had we taught? Was it only how to make witty and brilliant speeches? I comforted myself with the thought that even Socrates was very doubtful whether virtue could be taught.”

Pity the speeches are neither witty or brilliant. Null points all round then.

Johnson's only way out is to rerun 2016 referendum-can't do a deal with Labour or call an election or do a deal with Farage.

Not even as Uranus?

 

[Puddy_Tat]

just seen a conversation on tweeter where someone's describing rory what's-his-name as standing out among the current bunch.

no, he's a cunt. it's just that the other cunts have taken being cunts to new levels of cuntitude that by comparison he doesn't look like such a cunt at first glance.

i'm not sure if i'd get away with saying that on tweeter....

He's a big gobbed popularist full of bollocks promises that people will listen to but he can never actually deliver. The problem is he will probably get whatever he wants through, 'no deal' included, but it'll be the biggest fuck up in history.
He'll use his notable vote lead and the Brexit party's success as reasons anyone voting against is a traitor to the British people, and Labour's idiot leader will let him get away with it because he's a useless sack of clueless shit.
The slightly bright side is Johnson might very well fuck over the tory party for years when it all turns to crap.

 

[Don Troooomp]

have you never been on twitter before?

Yes, but it's a bit crap so I just made up an ID so I can read whatever crops up. Same as Linkedin, I joined so I could read it, not because I have any interest.

Twitter I can understand but why would anybody want to read/lurk linkedin

I moderate another forum so it's handy to be able to read profiles. FB is there for the same reason, it's easy to access if you have an account.

Quite an inventive method of execution, must be said. Arguably more special than he deserves, though.

An odd article, with the oddest bit being this:

Ah yes, asking students to compare one paragraph of text to another, an unusual pedagogical technique surely only found within the confines of Oxford University.
