A profile of Boris Johnson at Quillette.
The West Block today interviewed the former Deputy Chief Executive of BBC News Richard Ayre. It went as you’d expect from someone with such a title. Global was pleased with how this part of the interview went. They will have him back….
Eric Sorensen: I want to ask you about the relationship between, say, our prime minister and your new prime minister. But first, let me start with Boris Johnson and Donald Trump, and the relationship between the U.K. and the U.S., and what kind of alliance of interests that could emerge from that.
Richard Ayre: Now it’s true, of course that the two men have much in common. They both have this shock of blond hair, much beloved of cartoonists. They both like nothing more than addressing a huge audience and telling the audience whatever it is they want to hear. Both of them have had very colourful private lives and they both say things in public that they later regret and then deny having said them. Perhaps most fundamentally, they both share a passing familiarity with the truth, but there are very, very serious differences between the two. Boris Johnson is actually pretty bright guy. Intellectually, he runs rings around Donald Trump. Johnson speaks fluent French. He speaks fluent Italian. He speaks fluent, would you believe, Latin, surprisingly often using it. Donald Trump’s command of even, Englishraises some doubts. They don’t share a world view. It’s very unlikely that Boris Johnson is going to support America’s approach to Iran, further trying to isolate Iran. Johnson shares the European view that you engage Iran with incentives and with talk, to try to secure their nuclear plans. Boris Johnson is at heart, a Liberal.
Eric Sorensen: Richard, we only have a few seconds and I just want to get you, just in these few seconds, to say whether you think that Prime Minister Trudeau could be out of step with Johnson and Trump because he is so unlike them?
Richard Ayre: No. I think actually, Boris Johnson and Trudeau have much more in common than you might think. They’re both clever. They’re both bright. They’re both basically Liberal, the very opposite of Donald Trump. I think Canadians have almost nothing to fear from an alliance between Trump and Johnson, nothing to fear at all.
Eric Sorensen: Richard Ayre, thank you very much for talking to us from London.
Richard Ayre, yet another journalist who thinks he’s more important, more intelligent, and more erudite than he actually is.
Boots, the only thing Canadians have to fear are themselves and their socialist lunacy. I hope Boris Johnson turns out to be more conservative than the last bunch of rats to hold the office.
“I think actually, Boris Johnson and Trudeau have much more in common than you might think. They’re both clever. They’re both bright. ”
And that folks, is journalistic credibility at its finest.
Boris Johson the UK’s last white Prime Minister?
Churchill had more than a fine posh speaking voice at his disposal. He had covert assistance from a United States not trying to pacify a “woke” left-wing insurgency, and a united, still mostly British people who understood the gravity of the situation behind him.
His predecessors, if only in the interest of saving their own skins, had also begin war preparations by 1938, as Hitler became increasingly insubordinate and aggressive.
No-deal preparations should have begun no later than 2016, as the EU were never going to offer a deal a British government with the best interests of Britons at heart could ever accept. As it is, only now does Britain have a government serious about even leaving the EU at all. They have three months at most to prepare for a European campaign to starve Britain into surrender.
So what’s the plan of Britain’s first Turkish PM? Churchill had a plan to liquidate the Nazi-loving Dublin government if he had to. Is BoJo ready to send British troops to send the gay Indian Teeshock packing and restore British law to all Ireland to keep England from starving? I hope so. I really do.
As it is, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that BoJo has been picked as the fall guy, the scapegoat the globalists will encourage Englishmen to blame when they’re standing in line for bread.

I’ve enjoyed listening to Jacob for years. He will be a first class House Leader and if the UK doesn’t disintegrate, a great future PM.
I really hope I am going to be proved wrong.
GO BOJO.

Still not sure I trust him but he’s a breath of fresh air.
Here … let me save you a very long read of ponderous supercilious Brit Biography.
If anyone can slay the twin dragons of Corbyn and Farage, Boris can
Which … to me … sounds like someone is desperately hoping Boris is the next Theresa May.
I think you may have mis-read that, then, Kenji. My reading is that Toby is clearly supportive of Boris getting Brexit done, with or without a deal. Linking Farage with Corbyn in this context stemmed from Toby’s fears that Farage’s efforts to push Brexit through will divide the non-Labour forces enough for Corbyn to squeak in a majority government with “less than a third of the vote”, which would be the effective death of Britain. Thus, his hope is that Boris is strong enough not to let the swing to Farage happen.
My advice then? Best that Boris delivers EXACTLY what the BREXIT voters chose the BREXIT Party for … BREXIT the HELL out of the EU … on or before Oct. 31
I sometimes see Boris as a little … wobbly.
A fair concern, but, as with so many things, we’ll have to wait to see.
Don’t get me wrong … I WANT to ‘believe’ in Boris as much as I want to ‘believe’ in AG Barr … but here I sit at the keyboard … typing nervous hopefulness and skepticism … and wait.
“Thus, his hope is that Boris is strong enough not to let the swing to Farage happen.”
Just give Farage what he wants. it’s what Boris says he wants – BREXIT. Talk to Farage – kiss and make up. Farage doesn’t want the Commies in power either. Idiots like Theresa May and Andrew Scheer have an amazing power to drive away their strongest supporters.
Something like that. Take away the BP’s reason to exist, and it ceases to be an issue.
I like Boris (and DJT) for the same reason. I’m the guy who in his eighties relishes the memory of being the schoolboy who while some pompous jackass was parading his (or her) ego in front of the class tossed a large firecracker into the wastebasket, and got away with it because PJ was busy admiring Rosalie’s rack. Anybody who discomforts the so called elites is my guy. While I’m at it that was a good read.
Ah, Quillete. Easy decision to skip reading that tripe.
Bojo was the best of a very bad bunch, but he’s still bad. His spending commitments would make the NDP go red.
Let me guess … a certain Muzzie Mayor would be an IDEAL PM … bowing before the Queen … before he had her beheaded … for … “crimes against Allah”
