1/. “I’m not really bumbling. I’m as hard as nails”
In this interview, #BorisJohnson shows that the “bumbling Boris” character is just that: a character
“My approach to politics & human nature is that you can make a good case for anything” #BorisResigns
2/. “#BorisJohnson put on a buffoon mask to become a celebrity, & now he can’t take it off.”
(J Lanchester)
“He seems to know that if we’re chuckling at him, we’re not likely to be thinking hard about his agenda, or doing anything to counter it.”
(J Coe)
3/. In 2020, I dug up #BorisJohnso’s #TakeItOnTheChin
I also found the smoking gun of the #HerdImmunityScandal - the #GreenwichSpeech
“There’s a risk new diseases such as #coronavirus could trigger a panic that goes beyond what is medically rational”
4/. In 2020, I also broke the #CareHomeScandal
The reason so many ppl had died in care homes was b/c the govt had INSTRUCTED hospitals to send people “who may have COVID” to care homes WITHOUT TESTING
The guidance was issued on 2 April 2020 #BorisJohnson
5/. #BorisJohnson did NOT get the big calls right on #COVID19
At the crucial times he ignored the science or concocted pseudo-scientific justifications for their actions/inaction
The question is WHY?
Was there another more sinister strategy at play?
Carl Sagan puts it best👇
6/. “The NHS is the most trusted brand in the UK. Cambridge Analytica is the least trusted. Yet it is the same people who will have access to population-wide UK/US genomic data”
Some suggest that the Trump election & Brexit were “hacked” for these reasons
7/. Farage in Downing St
He claims #BorisJohnson “was elected as a conservative but governed as a liberal”!
In 2020, Jonathan Powell (who knows all about political skulduggery) wrote; “This looks like the beginning of a rolling coup”
A “far-right coup”?
8/. The idea that #BorisJohnson “governed as a liberal” is absurd
Johnson presided over the most right wing govt that modern Britain has seen
The #PolicingBill, #BordersBill, #PalantirPlan & the #RwandaDeportations etc. are just the thin edge of a disturbing authoritarian wedge
9/. I’m reminded of that passage in Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises where a character is asked how he went bankrupt
“Two ways,” he answers. “Gradually, then suddenly”
The same is happening with with the stripping of our rights
#BorisJohnson #NigelFarage @SachaBaronCohen #Farage
10/. “Get ready for a Tory leadership contest in which the candidates compete to show their zealous belief in Brexit self-destruction, asylum-bashing & small state vulture capitalism”@WritesBright
“...& Genomics” (for details see #Palantir & #PeterThiel) bylinetimes.com/2022/07/07/con…
11/. The top posts in the new cabinet will probably be filled by the authors of the book, #BritanniaUnchained
Liz Truss
Dominic Raab
Priti Patel
Kwasi Kwarteng
Chris Skidmore
The rest will be unsuccessful leadership candidates incldg
Suella Braverman
Jacob Rees Mogg
Steve Baker
12/. The fact that Farage was inside No.10 even before Murdoch is a chilling sign
Let’s not forget that Farage was one of Trump’s first guests in 2016
It’s been easy to laugh off Farage in the past but I fear the joke may be on us
& it isn’t a funny one
