We need to understand the *real* Boris Johnson. He's not the bumbling clown act we're presented with, which has been cultivated to hide his grotesque incompetence, sociopathic lying, fragile ego & bullying arrogance.

"Boris Johnson can change from bonhomie to a dark fury in seconds. His normally jokey demeanour flashes into a sarcastic snarl, his skin reddens and blotches, his eyes dart into an intense narrow glare and on the worst occasions his lips curl back to reveal wisps of spittle."

Sonia Purnell worked alongside him, sharing an office in Brussels, reporting on the EU.

"He has the fiercest and most uncontrollable anger I have seen. A terrifying mood change can be triggered instantly by the slightest challenge to his entitlement or self-worth."

It was the sight of Boris Johnson in full flow that convinced her that he was temperamentally unsuitable to be entrusted with any position of power, let alone the highest office of all, in charge of the UK & its nuclear codes.

Beginning to see what it is yet?

'His temper, casual relationship with the truth & often callous disregard of others, has caused many people working closely with him to question his fitness for office. He bears grudges, resents being beholden to others & has sneaky & even threatening sides to his character.'

In a judgment about publication of a story concerning his 'love child' with an art consultant, a senior judge raised questions about his fitness for power because of his “recklessness” about pregnancy and the feelings of others when conducting “extramarital adulterous liaisons”.
