Sure, but the article could use some "in a widely criticised interview" or whatever, especially seeing as it's (maybe was now) the most read one.

He has the same kind of animal cunning that Trump does, and to a certain extent the clown thing is an act to hide his frank sociopathy, but he is also most certainly a complete loving moron

boris has the affect of a bumbling, self-effacing posho because it's a persona that plays about as well as any persona will for a tory in the 2010s (see the brief love affair with rory stewart)

beneath that he's a greedy venal sociopath who will do and say anything to get what he wants

beneath that, he actually is a moron, someone who took being just clever and slick and entitled enough to get through school without doing any work and extrapolated it out into an entire career

the funniest take I heard on that is that he ate poo poo and gave a weird answer on purpose to muddle the search results for 'boris johnson bus'

but no I think he just short-circuited trying not to say anything offensive which means he had to discard his first 15,000 ideas for how to respond

bojo is an act and everyone knows and is banking on it being an act

he's probably adequately intelligent - not a complete miswire like trump, at least - but he's incredibly dishonest and lazy

the thing with him posing this front is that, paradoxically, he can get away with a lot more than more straight-laced types like oval office - he's signalling that really he's quite beyond all this stuff and mostly there to humour the nice journalist chap, not to worry, it's all well in the hands of clever and sound people

Owen Jones jumping on the 'remain and reform' is a possibility dream train

he's a good lad but the idea that the uk, especially a uk that just backed down from brexiting, could have any ability to stop the eu being neoliberal is just absurd. there literally isn't a mechanism to stop the eu imposing economic thatcherism, it would require the unelected peeps to all be removed, all be replaced and then for the entire superstructure to be removed and theres no legit process for that. the eu is designed to not be reformed by member states, 'remain and reform' is such a fake idea meme
