The truly horrid event for which Boris Johnson seems to have blame, was scuppering the peace deal nearly complete in Ukraine in April 2022, just 60 days after the Russian incursion.
It seems Boris Johnson may now bear the huge guilt of hundreds of thousands of dead due to his actions:
"Russia and Ukraine ... tentative deal to end the war in April ... Russia would withdraw to its position of February 23, when it controlled part of the Donbas region and all of Crimea, and in exchange, Ukraine would promise not to seek NATO membership and receive security guarantees from a number of countries.
"The decision to scuttle the deal coincided with Johnson’s April visit to Kyiv, during which he reportedly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to break off talks with Russia ... the West wasn’t ready for the war to end"

The war is also a major part of UK suffering post-Brexit, with the foolish 'sanctions' ... If the UK had seized the post-Brexit chance to be the global safe haven, a neutral financial and commercial centre, its prosperity would have been assured.
But even so, after the EU and its banking system hit the big crisis upcoming, Brexit may still yet prove to have been the better decision.

'For weeks now, an all-party committee of the House of Commons has been crawling over the evidence of his behaviour behind closed doors when the rest of us were locked down. This report appears to have confirmed his worst fears.
'A suspension from the House of Commons, a recall petition from constituents, a difficult byelection and political humiliation...
'His character flaws have been well documented.
'His character flaws have been well documented.
'Max Hastings, his former editor at the Daily Telegraph, commented just before Johnson became prime minister: “There is room for debate about whether he is a scoundrel or mere rogue, but not much about his moral bankruptcy, rooted in a contempt for truth.”
'Here we are, years later, when the criticism, even from its most fanatical supporters like Nigel Farage, is that Brexit has failed.'
'Even before the Brexit referendum and Johnson’s ascent to the cabinet and Downing St, Matthew Parris, a former Conservative MP, warned: “There’s a pattern to Boris’s life … It’s the casual dishonesty, the cruelty, the betrayal; and, beneath the betrayal, the emptiness of real ambition: the ambition to do anything useful with office once it is attained.” The party did not listen.'

ReplyDeleteHeseltine was always a fanatical pro-EU operator and I'm not sure his own personal morals whilst in Government were whiter than white either. There's no surprise that he will be ganging up with anyone to stymie Brexit......
ReplyDeletePolitics is a cast of many and varied chancers, cynics, grifters, wasters, megalomaniacs, egotists, narcissists, psychopaths, sociopaths, predators, misanthropes, useful idiots, and, in many cases, outright criminals.
ReplyDeleteYou pays your taxes and you takes your choice.
Or better still, don’t bother choosing.
Who wants to choose between a cast of useful idiots, time-servers — and in many cases, dangerous miscreants?
Don’t vote for any of them, of any party. Ever again.
Not even for the good guys, on the very rare occasions you spot one. (The *effective* good guys are exceedingly rare. The system operates at every step to prevent them from ever making the ballot paper or getting elected. On the incredibly rare occasions that good, capable, motivated, people get elected — typically because they’ve been ‘licensed’ to play a part of a ‘quixotic hero’ / ‘valiant loser’ — they are sidelined and will never accomplish anything of substance.)
How is a good person going to attain a political office of any real power, for any length of time, anyway?
In this day and age, who really believes that election campaigns are fought honestly?
With free, uncensored, truthful, accurate, *balanced* media and ‘influencer’ coverage; no psy ops; no lies and distortions spread on the campaign trail — and in the preceding months and years; no ‘dirty tricks operations’ on/in social media, TV, Hollywood, the music industry, Wikipedia, and internet search (fake accounts, controlled sites, spooky accounts, spooky sites, spooky journalists, fake news, censoring of information, shadowbanning, search results manipulation, Facebook timeline manipulation, Twitter feed manipulation, propaganda soap storylines and songs, bogus tv ‘talking points’, etc.); no intelligence services involvement; no grooming and blackmailing of the political candidates or assigning them handlers; no spying on them and their circles; no control files; no foreign or domestic interference in electoral processes; no results rigging; no financing and controlling of the candidates and parties by shady multimillionaires and billionaires; no database hacks; no underhand influencing of the sociocultural ‘script’ by unelected foundations, NGOs and other national and supranational institutions; etc
It’s not gonna change any time soon. Not while we keep complying by voting.
Disabuse the politicians — and indeed the would-be politicians — of the notion they have that the majority of the populace is as shallow, docile, naive, suggestible and petty as they take us to be.
Again, don’t vote. Ever.
It’s fully rigged in every sense, at every step … and you know it.
