I agree. Your negativity does tend to have a classism about it.

Boris is a very intelligent man but that doesn't mean he isn't going to completely **** the country - he's set for life either way and probably sees it all as "a great bit of sport". I'm not even saying he WANTS to wreck the country... just that he'll be A) reckless and experimental and B) uncaring to those with the least, who will suffer first.

Jeremy Corbyn given 20-minute 'hairdryer' dressing down by MP who lost seat

Quote:
Jeremy Corbyn was given the “hairdryer” treatment in a 20-minute, public dressing-down from an MP who lost her seat.
Mary Creagh, the former MP for Wakefield, had been clearing out her Commons office when she saw the Labour leader posing for selfies with young people.
She told the Times she approached Mr Corbyn and gave him a stern talking-to.
“I told him he shouldn’t be having his photo taken with young people because he had betrayed their future,” she said. “I asked him to apologise for what he’d done.”
She says she unloaded on Mr Corbyn, branding Labour’s manifesto a “joke” and accusing him of alienating Labour voters.
Ms Creagh said she also took issue with Mr Corbyn’s decision to call the election without consulting the Shadow Cabinet and challenged him to go too Wakefield to apologise.
“He needs to know what he has done,” she added. “He needs to own his failure. He must apologise for what he has done. I told him ‘why are you still sat in your office when all my staff have just lost their jobs?’”
He's a disgrace.

He's a disgrace.
I wouldn't even say he's a disgrace. He was very "tunnel visioned" and couldn't or wouldn't see what he was focusing on. He didn't realise that almost everything he was doing was cutting off his nose to spite the faces of his MPs, and he did nothing to dampen the muck raked by the tabloids.

He was clear he didn't entertain personal attacks, which is what a lot of his MPS appear to be doing now... The manifesto was well recieved, pepole liked his policies. They did not engage with the divided Labour brexit stance, he can't absorb all the blame for that.
Many MPs were out and out leavers and some determined to remain. The neutral stance meant he could best aid everyone.
But he was never going to be able to please everyone...

There are other forms of intelligence, being able to parrot text and memorise Latin phrases don't mean he is rounded. Academics can be emotionally stunted, that's being generous.

"Some people with good degrees can be stupid" isn't the same as "Boris Johnson is stupid", for which I've still not heard any proof.

I don't even have a strong opinion either way, but there's more to say he's not-stupid than is-stupid.

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.

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
