In one respect, Boris JOHNSON ain't like SHITLER, can debate with Dame Mary BEARD

[UTUSN]

O.K., I haven't digested where he's coming from, and his reputation filtering down to my facile level is that he's a despicable version of SHITLER. And the previous time I played this thing from The University of YouTube I had it in the background and didn't get the drift of it all. I had previously heard out a few of Dame professor BEARD's videos, so my preconception was (and still is) to be on her side. But I was impressed that this BoJo person is not in the same category of *total* blithering idiot as SHITLER, able at least to face somebody on a level ground. But then, I've been impressed with the CSPAN features of the Brit prime ministers facing "questions" that our political leaders could never confront.

1. He's shown up occasionally in the history docu's I like to watch.

I guess it's nice he's not a total idiot like you-know-who.

2. Thanks, I will be following up to get to the bottom of it!1

3. Boris studied classics at Oxford.

He is in fact worse than Trump in some ways; his public persona of slightly comical buffoonery is artifice. Here is a journalist called Jeremy Vine describing how he saw Boris give a speech at an awards dinner on two different occasions that pretty much sums this up: https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/columnists/article-7147799/JEREMY-VINE-reveals-saw-Boris-make-shambolic-speech-bring-house-down.html

5. "comical buffoonery is artifice", +1 !!! BoJo is the punk ass'd version of Trump; Trying to be a ...

... natural idiot but doesn't have the courage to go all the way.

7. "real"? - the "unpredictable" thing again

4. He is not like Trump and the comparisons are ridiculous.

He is an intellectual, highly educated, well-read, former editor of the Spectator - Trump can't even edit his own Tweets. Also, while Johnson might be on the right in the UK, he is more aligned with the Democratic Party than Republicans, for example, he supports amnesty for undocumented immigrants and he supports Britain's nationalized health service.

6. What's with his opposition of Brexit? Seems like he's smart enough to come up with something

... more than just let it all fall apart

8. He is pro-Brexit.
