Yes, "Get it Done", worth every penny of that Oxford education.

It seems to have worked when it came to winning votes for his party. A simple slogan was all he needed. "For the many, not the few" and "strong and stable" are more examples of simple slogans - even if the second was an outright lie

And I'm still not hearing how you can justify the fact that he's stupid?

Oliver what makes you think he invented those slogans?
That's the job of the campaign advisers

I still haven't heard you justify him not.

"He had an expensive degree at Oxford" has absolutely no bearing on the buffoon currently sitting in number 10.

The only substantial thing you've credited him with is coming up with a three word slogan "Get Brexit Done". This doesn't convince me he isn't stupid.

I've suggested reasons he might not be stupid, and this was after someone (you or 2S) said he was, without any reasoning.

I don't really need reasoning, the man is an idiot, his so called policies are idiotic. Just take a look at every contradictory comment he's made about Brexit and the NHS.

Not quite.
I called into question the usefulness of his knowledge of Latin and greek and then you started going on how that proves he was intelligent. Which I questioned. That (in itself) does not prove he is particularly intelligent.
Considering the number of blunders he's made in his career like getting caught lying repeatedly and losing his job twice etc etc etc his case doesn't look that great.

I've not heard everything he's said. All I've heard him say is that the NHS isn't on the table, and that it's getting a funding boost

I don't think Boris is lacking intelligence, and just because someone doesn't agree with his policies does not make him any less intelligent.

However, intelligence and stupidity are not mutually exclusive, and stupidity in itself is a subjective term.

I disagree with many of his policies, I object to the fact that he is dishonest as a person, I don't like him and I don't trust him. He may still be a good prime minister though, only time will tell

How can a dishonest person be a good pm? What an oxymoron...He is not the standard I expect from the person who represesents us as a country. He is and ever will be a national embarrassment.

You make some good points as it’s widely accepted that ‘clever’ people quite often lack simple common sense ..

What's your issue with him? As far as I can tell he's just a Bertie Wooster figure who floated to the top.

Sometimes it's cream that floats to the top, and sometimes it's scum. I've not heard any reason to assume he's either. I'm not going to use his politeness as a deciding factor, because among certain classes it is unthinkable to be ill mannered in public.
