BORIS JOHSON

 BORIS JOHNSON....

IN A CIRCUS,DOWNFALL OF A MAVERICK AND THEATRICAL POLITICIAN 

I have always been tempted to describe Boris Johnson as a cat with nine lives but on each occasion refrained or stop short of doing so for some inexplicable reason,call it gut,instinct,spiritual or not just sitting well with me or in my psyche as it were,truth is that I never got round to describing him as such,either in my private and back channel discussions,in an open forum or in any of my write ups-I never considered it a worthy subject to be delved into or analysed before now.

Now looking back that he is just a sitting duck at No 10 waiting for the ceremony and procedures that would ease him out of office to the relief of many within the United Kingdom and globally,It dawned on me that it was all because I found his so called "heroics" as down to theatrics and its difficult for me to be engaged in the theatrical,especially that emanating or associated with one that should been hitherto viewed as a global statesman but unfortunately lacked the credentials, comportment or mien.It would have been therefore dignified his person to have been described with such categorisation.

Right from his not so humble begining as the Mayor of London he has falling on his shrewd and calculating ability and I dare say here,talent to take advange of situations to.pull the rug or take advange of political opponents or foes.He knows exactly when to hit them,he knows when they are most weak and mobilized his forces to move in and take them over or over runing them to their political demise most times he does this from an insider or confidant position and all the while making it all in theatrics and public stunts and entertainments,the later the one major tool in his stable tha mislead the public each time he shows up for their support at the ballot.

Never has No 10 Downing Street, Britain's seat of Government been so desecrated  by any politician like Johnson in the annals of the jigsaw puzzle of British politics or on a careful analysis of the occupants of that residence and exalted office Boris Johnson is the "Poster Man " of the lows.Going on party and drinking binges,even when the situation calls for sobriety and mourning,a serial and volt face liar who takes pleasure in protecting the dark sides of his friends in the "gangster" faction of his chequered  Government,a template that he operated with, even in his mayoralty in the Country's capital .How did this man escape from the lens and prying eyes if the the British public beats me,they could not see through his exuberance, entertainment and then the well known theatrics,not even the fiasco that was his tenure as foreign minister could expose him and send the alarm bells ringing in the public space for this man,perhaps, he does have some manipulative skills after all and an expert at covering up his tracks of huge garbage.

It has been alleged in some quarters that his private life is equally in shambles but the British Press decided to not go too deep in there to live somecsemblance of dignity to the Prime Minister's Office.

Shrewd and the opportunist that he is,the Russian-Ukrainian war presented an excellent opportunity for him to entrench himself and manipulate the dynamics of history to position him as as a war time Leader and he was on cruise on this when mother-luck intervened and he ran out of luck,same luck that has been a close companion and ally for so long,now chose an "imperfect" moment to desert him.Behind that facade of easy-happy-go-luck Boris lies a man with massive ego problems/issues and it was this that was the final nail on the coffin for it overwhelmed and consumed him at the critical moments when he should have allowed reason and commonest of sense to.prevail.

What would Boris Johnson,the "Hollywood" Prime Minister of Great Britain be remembered for? What legacy or memories,I cant think of any,rather than back stabbing piles of controversy,deceit,lies,braggadocio and manipulation,there might just be a drop of blackmail and arm twisting there too.

Not even Margaret Thatcher ran the controversy and divisive channels like the man with the disheveled blond hair but I am all smiles here as I know Theresa May is having the last laugh.What goes around they say,comes around.
