One is an untrustworthy, nasty, idle, incompetent, self-serving congenital liar, while the other is – oh, actually the same.
The national humiliation of Boris Johnson grinning gormlessly at Donald Trump, awaiting the order to jump just so he could beg “how high?”, was falsely spun by Downing Street as a special relationship.
But a desperate Tory Prime Minister who would be out of his depth in a shower tray would be taken to the cleaners in any trade deal with “America First” Trump.
The US reinforced to me the foolishness, unpredictability and toxicity of a President who mistakenly thinks he is the Chosen One – despite his popularity ratings being lower than Barack Obama’s.
Trump is for the broth pot next year unless the Democrats, Labour’s sister party, beats itself.
Johnson is equally divisive, and this pair of malevolent clowns are malicious egomaniacs twisting to fool some of the people all of the time to cling to high office.
The Selfservative PM employs Trumpian demagoguery to lead incited masses.
Exploiting the justified furies of working people trampled down by Tory austerity and the casino capitalism he champions, the liar in Downing Street blames migrants and Europe for economic and social crimes committed by his own party and ideology.
Jeremy Corbyn is capable of puncturing Johnson’s pomposity in a general election.
Yet there is no ignoring the mounting frustration of Labour voters at the party’s failure to build consistent, signifcant poll leads.
Until Brexit is nailed down as a Right-wing Tory scam by Johnson and that Thatcher fan-boy Nigel Farage – a couple of poshies who have financially prospered from selling a British exit from the EU that would cost working folk dearly – Labour risks paying a heavy electoral penalty.
The PM telling porkies every time he opens his mouth is burping to hide unappetising facts by regurgitating pork pie exports to America when Trump’s price is buying the NHS.
And if we leave Europe through a trade tax-imposing no-deal door, it will spell B. A. D. for our valuable car, aerospace, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
We don’t want a British Trump. What we need is honesty.
