Archer might be the closest parallel. Serial bullshitter, everyone knew it, but apparently a fun boss when things were going well and good at getting the donations in.

Good call, but with Johnson they knew he was a serial adulterer with an unspecified number of children and a shady past. Archer was just a bit fly and wrote their sort of books.

I forget, at what point did Archers "Delivering brown paper bags of fivers to hookers" go public?

Original case was 1987 or so, then he was done for perjury in 2000/2001. Even so, before his conviction public opinion of him was decidedly iffy. His claims about his Oxford education and knowing the Beatles and all the rest of it were well known too. Very much "he's not bent, honest guv" (wink, wink). His tendency to sue was probably a factor there.

I don't think anyone really cared about his fabrications; from memory they were all pretty harmless. He was good at charming old ladies and talking the chaps at the golf club into parting with a few bob for party funds.

Similar core skills to Johnson

Bozo’s ‘I’m not one of the Russia guys’ tour isn’t going to plan after being made to look a tit by err Tucker Carlson

Boris Johnson advocates EU membership. No, really!

The very tiniest and most bitter of men

Was Bozo Zelenskyy’s leverage? “Give me some jets Rishi and I’ll drop that asshole.”

Any copper who doesn’t believe Johnson’s worth a look given the opportunity, should be confined to cycling proficiency talks. If the former DPP doesn’t have bigger plans for Bozo than he had for Corbyn, it’ll be a massive letdown. Unlike Trump, there’s no threat to the nation’s political fabric by investigating Johnson’s financial affairs. And the Tories in opposition aren’t going rally to Bozo. Lock ‘em up.

Does make you wonder who the “real” owners are

If any cunt has a legitimate claim for a moat, it's that cunt.

Just taking the piss

Four fucking million plus change he's made.

Meanwhile legal aid is rationed, forcing people to plead guilty to avoid harsher sentences.

Someone beat some permanent brain damage into him, please.

Be fair, he's still doing the hard yards on the shit stirring front.

Boris Johnson has escalated his criticism of Rishi Sunak’s approach to the Northern Ireland protocol, saying that the “best way forward” would be to carry on with the legislation that his government drafted that would allow the government to just ignore it.

I'm pretty sure the rest of the world sees him for the clown he is.

Besides, why would NATO want an invisibly funded potential Putin asset on the board?

I never realised that you could nominate yourself to be Secretary General of NATO, my careers teacher clearly knew jack shit.
