Do you seriously believe Boris Johnson gets up each morning and asks himself:

“How can I improve the lives of ordinary people?”

The notion of Johnson serving the general public, rather than himself is ....... ludicrous!

When Johnson finished education at Eton, in a leaving book he wrote of his determination to secure “more notches on my phallocratic phallus”.

He certainly cannot be criticised for any failure in this particular ambition.

How many affairs? How many children?

Johnson joined the Bullingdon Club *BUT* managed to get elected president of Oxford Union by hiding his elite right wing leanings to capitalise on popularity of SDP.

He faked SDP principles and embraced people who supported SDP to get elected.

He even denounced FPTP in debate.

Johnson went on to explain that his victory required a “deluded collection of stooges” to get the vote out.

Deluded because the victor will not return the favour, so the relationship is “founded on duplicity”.

Michael Gove was, by his own admission, one of those stooges.

George Jones, Telegraph’s political editor:

“Boris saw Brussels as easy target. He was not a man who went along with the consensus and was determined to be the grit in the oyster. I think he saw it as a game. It was fun. This was what made politics and reporting interesting.”

Johnson told Sue Lawley:

“I was chucking rocks over garden wall and I listened to this amazing crash from greenhouse next door as everything I wrote from Brussels was having this amazing, explosive effect on the Tory party, it really gave me this rather weird sense of power.”

Johnson’s colourful journalism boosted Euroscepticism in newspapers.

Soon, notion that Britain was fighting a lone, rearguard action against scheming Continentals bent on destroying our ancient liberties became the only narrative that interested much of Fleet Street.

Truth got buried - stories about EU’s achievements, or the fact that Britain had allies and sometimes won arguments, were seldom printed.

Johnson did much to create the crude caricature of Brussels against which he campaigned in the EU referendum a quarter of a century later.

“He set the tone to a large extent for the British media. He had a significant impact,” said former ambassador Nigel Sheinwald, Foreign Office press secretary in mid 90’s.

“As a journalist in Brussels, he was one of the greatest exponents of fake journalism.” Chris Patten

“One of the reasons we’re leaving the EU is the media’s insidious drip, drip, drip of anti-EU propaganda over 25 years, which people ended up believing and for which Boris Johnson helped set the tone,” Charles Grant said.

Sonia Purnell - Johnson’s deputy in Brussels wrote a biography of him.
She said he was “most ruthless, ambitious person I have ever met… Under a well-cultivated veneer of disorganisation lay not so much a streak of aspiration as a torrent of almost frightening focus and drive.”

12 days after he divorced his first wife, Allegra, Johnson married Marina Wheeler, who was expecting their first child.

Johnson left Brussels in 1994, sped on his way by a pastiche of Hilaire Belloc’s poem “Matilda” composed by James Landale, then the Times EU correspondent and now the BBC’s diplomatic editor.

It began: “Boris told such dreadful lies/It made one gasp and stretch one’s eyes…”

Johnson broke his promise not to pursue a parliamentary seat while he was editor by securing the Tory nomination for Henley.

Conrad Black called Johnson “ineffably duplicitous” but allowed him to remain editor of Spectator even after he was elected to parliament in 2001.

Johnson had protracted affair with Petronella Wyatt, Spectator columnist whom he twice got pregnant.

As a married man with four young children, he had no trouble with spaffing out brazen lies:

“It is an inverted pyramid of piffle,” he declared.

Johnson caught philandering again, this time with a young reporter called Anna Fazackerley. There may well have been other women.

“I haven’t had to have a wank for 20 years,” Johnson is quoted as saying in Gimson’s biography.

While Mayor of London Johnson continued to write his Telegraph column while mayor, adding £250,000 to his official salary of £140,000, but reneged on his promise to give a fifth of his journalistic earnings to good causes.

Despite Max Hastings advice for “Bonking Boris” of “Lock up your willy.”

Helen Macintyre, art dealer, had a daughter by him. Macintyre’s partner, Pierre Rolin, who gave Johnson £80,000 donation, protested:

“He has no moral compass whatsoever.”

A close associate of Johnson during his mayoralty said he was brilliant public performer but an absolutely terrible manager who was saved by his chiefs of staff.

He had a short attention span and a weakness for headline-grabbing projects

“I’m very cynical about Boris. I don’t believe he believes in anything apart from himself and his own ambition,” said someone who has known him for many years.

Johnson spearheaded a shamefully mendacious Brexit campaign:

spurious Brexit bonanza of “£350m a week” on campaign bus

preposterous claim that Turkey was about to join EU, unleashing tsunami of 80m Muslims on the U.K.

failure to acknowledge that immigrant workers, far from overloading the NHS and other public services, actually keep them afloat

peddling of phoney patriotism and dangerous illusion that Britain can go it alone

likening of European Commission to Hitler’s Third Reich

blithe assurances that divorce from the EU would be simple and painless because Germany is desperate to sell us cars.

“My policy on cake is pro-having it and pro-eating it” – one of the most irresponsible sentences uttered by any politician - who is now PM during pandemic.
