Education
There is no doubt Boris Johnson is an extremely clever man. He has benefited from the very finest education his fathers money could buy. But being clever does not necessarily mean a person is intelligent, many lack the basic gift of common sense.
Just a few of the many highly educated people who have been brought down by a lack of common sense and resorted to lying to cover their failings.
Richard Nixon, Donald Trump, Jeffrey Archer, David Cameron, Prince Andrew, Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell, now add Boris Johnson.
It is not the mistake or crime that brought about their downfall but the lies of the cover up.

With all respect???
You and the other blind, deaf and dumb Tories on site have been singing the praises of the Clown since he was elected. Interested to see where you go from here.
When I was at sea I had to do a lot more than find where the spud locker was located.

Re: Education
I must agree , Boris,s downfall is ability to turn to a lie, if he had coughed that he did know Pincher was a groper he would have caused a storm, but he may have survived that. but it was the lie that finally undid him. The big worry now is who takes over, there are still lots of Europhiles lurking in the background, and we could easily see ourselves bound up by EU rules again. Aint politics a lovely occupation.

Re: Education
All we need now is for Starmer to be found guilty of breaking covid rules, remember he said he would resign, and we get a full house.
