I don't disagree on this, but Corbyn predated the Brexit referendum, and BoJo made his series of choices that left him in power knowing full well what the opposition looked like. He certainly had a fair share of luck, but the idea of him bumbling accidentally into No 10 is both naive and playing exactly into his hands.
- Lio 6y agoOh I don’t buy the “Bumbling Boris” act at all. You only have to look at the way he tried to manipulate the search results on the whole bus thing by later claiming he liked to paint buses on broken packing crates. Or the speeches he made in favour of the EU but later reversed when he saw he could turn Brexit to his favour. I think he’s a very calculating and manipulative man, and not to be trusted or underestimated.
- YeGoblynQueenne 6y agoA man (or a woman) can be very calculating and manipulative, sly as a fox and fast as a rabbit, but at the same time a greedy fool who stubmles and fumbles and never gets what he wants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iznogoud https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iznogoud Or, most of the time, gets exactly what he bargains for. In the case of Johnson, that's being Prime Minister in the middle of Brexit and just before an unforeseen pandemic that kills dozens of thousands of his citizens. He must be thaking god very hard for AstraZeneca right now.
