Stupid prime ministers don’t cut the mustard
H THOMAS, Letters, October 14, states that voters are not people to be canvassed for votes at election, then ignored after, but this is exactly what happens and all parties are guilty.
He states Boris is popular because he is unorthodox. So that’s the word they are using these days for someone who cannot give a straight, honest reply to questions.
As a colleague quipped, new definition to a dictatorship, unorthodox.
I would say it is typically English, Eton-educated behaviour.
One thing most public schooleducated people have in common is a lack of morals and manners.
They have little respect for those they believe are beneath them.
We are forcibly fed through PR that they are intelligent, but that is questionable.
A remark I heard regarding David Cameron about his lack of intelligence sums it up. Someone remarked, “but he went to Eton”, to which the reply was, “well no-one is going to say David is a dunce, when looking at the noughts on the cheque”.
It can equally apply to Johnson. We are told he is intelligent, but his behaviour contradicts this. The Nazanin Zaghari-Radcliffe incident is a case in point.
There are two ways of looking at it, either he is woefully stupid and inept, or he is a racist.
Personally, to me either does not make for a good, tactful and fair Prime Minister.
Whether we are in or out of the EU this is something that needs addressing. J Price Coleford of job opportunities here: the latter being due to a lack of investment in both the public and private sectors for decades since the decline of the heavy industries here.
Turning /or returning to the Secretary of State for Wales’ wisdom, he still deals in promises for the future in Wales, when his record of bending at the knee and not delivering in the past and present has been abysmal.
As for the statement Ian Lewis attributes to Stephen Crabb, surely the economic wellbeing of the British people (particularly the younger ones) is more important than the loss of patience by those who voted to leave the EU.
Finally, one must ask whether David TC Davies’ assertion of the disappointment “suffered” by the 17.4m Brexiteers, and all those (unidentified) people who want to respect the result of the democratic referendum, will actually be felt by them if it turns out that the whole affair was a “con”, so that the claimed benefits are not spread evenly across the length and breadth of the UK; more importantly, the length and breadth of Wales, which is already the poor neighbour across the way.
