It is absolutely amazing what a person can get away with once they remove the ability to feel shame.
Well not really when society and people just giving people with no shame power and respect. THATS WHEN IT IS BEYOND THE PALE.
Well, no, that kind of narcissistic behavior is actually caused by shame... these guys will do literally anything to avoid the feeling of being ashamed.
are you referring to O'Braindead's shameless support for Carl Beech? I guess not.......
Once there is no shame in a person there is no hope for that person - give up and get on with your own life
A consciencectomy?
“You deserved it”-contempt and disdain for everyone else, especially us plebs. “Your suffering is not as important as mine.” Classic narcissistic behaviour.
Lol I just wrote the same.
Worse: "Your suffering is not as important as my minor inconvenience."
"I deserved a party" while "You deserve to be stripped of everything."
meanwhile, people in his district will vote for him again bc they value "who is a woman" bs from US propaganda compared to everything else in their own real world.
@@olmostgudinaf8100 worse: 'my convenience is not even on register as ("who are you again?") others' (stress the quote marks) "inconvenience."'
contempt and disdain for everyone else.....are you talking about O'Braindead?

Suella braverman is to empathy
Jacob Rees mogg is to progress
Matt Hancock is to fidelity
And what Dominic raab is to intelligence.

@@lewis72 lol OK topic that is totally not the one being discussed here. Do you know the difference between a migrant and a refugee?
I'm still grieving the loss of my beautiful, healthy sister to Covid. I could not visit her in hospital and I kept to all the rules. Boris, Rishi and the others will never know how hard that was, how just wanting to hold her hand and tell her I love her, they will never understand because their hearts are shallow and their souls are cold. While we broke our hearts, they broke the law. I will never forget and never forgive them for their contempt. They will never understand the anger that families who also lost loved ones, feel. I want to see justice, I want to see the political downfall of the lot of them.
Sympathies......comiserations...and aNGER ON YOUR BEHALF.
@@ArtyFactual_Intelligence Thank you and blessings to you.
Boris can emphasize, his mother died during the COVID Pandemic.
I worked in care homes during the pandemic and I was too scared to visit my own mum who is in her 80s and frail.
My son is also vulnerable with ulcerative colitis and on medication that reduces his immune system, and the thought that the politicians were socialising and having partys is insulting and disgraceful.
I hope the inquiry can see through the lies and finish the ability for Boris Johnson to cause more misery and hopefully they can limit any further damage he may and will most likely cause.
Why aren't you all asking the bleeding obvious question? Which is, why were all those people at the parties NOT scared of catching covid???
Remember what his school report said, "wants to be head of the team, but doesn't want to put the effort in".
His ambition outraced his ability. He lacks the courage to examine and critique the former, and lacks the drive to develop the latter.
The result is a thoroughly useless, self-absorbed and dangerous fool.
....James did work on a building site briefly so a little unfair...
@chatham43 Go on....I assume you think that's relevant, so please elaborate.
his form master also said “Johnson doesnt think the rules apply to him”.
The nation is being held hostage by Johnson and his fellow Tories, who fail to even attempt to earn their salaries. Parliament, and Number 10 Downing Street, are the worst possible places to confine and concentrate the nation's useless clots, this moniker being another apt synonym for the Tories.
I'm a social psychologist and been saying this (privately) for YEARS!!! So glad you brought it to the public conversation. Johnson is a textbook narcissist. I would hazard to say he's the grandiose variety. The kind that will flat out deny reality to you. And even to himself he'll bend the entire world to make himself innocent and/or heroic.
mmh Munchausen syndrome
Yeah, and trump has to be in that vein too, or maybe malignant!
Imagine if it turns out, your opinion is simply formed by your voting choice 🤣..... kinda makes all that education pointless.
@@ukqwerty999 someone being a raging narcissist has nothing to do with what political leaning they have, anyone can be one, left or right.
@@ArtByEmilyHare Agreed. Narcissism is a statement of how someone thinks, rather than what they think. In fact, they tend not to have any conviction in their beliefs at all, left or right. They believe what they need to in order to inflate the ego. Like Johnson being pro-EU then pro-Brexit, pro-levelling up and pro-austerity.
Bodger is a very interesting case study for narcissism. Even for those of us who aren't very informed about the intricacies of Narcissistic personalities. It was clear that he wanted to discredit the committee's legitimacy / competence to investigate whether he misled the HOC. He thought that erudite language and bluster would work in accomplishing that, because that's what has always worked for him.
When it didn't work, he started to get angry. Towards the end, when even members of his own party had the "Audacity" to hold up his own statements and submitted evidence as proof that he was just blustering, he got mad. He can't stand losing, and he can't stand people challenging him.
All the bereaved families of covid victims deserve nothing less than to see that man stripped of the privilege of being an MP, and hopefully a prison sentence to boot.
Learned it from his dad. (+1)
....and you supported the Lockdown right...?
There'll NEVER BE A PRISON SENTENCE,!!!!!
As a forensic shrink. I would say yes he is a narcissist
Using the same methods as Trump.
And still he doesn't face prison.

The very first words he used "hand on heart" telling the truth are known as a qualifier often used when a narcissist is lying.
I thought straight away “You haven’t got one”😊
I thought he was trying to use hand on your heart words from the song hand on your heart song by Kylie 😂
I would seriously doubt that he has a heart, that it is his own hand, and that it is placed where a heart should be.

Should we really have to put up with people like mogg and Johnson? Aren't we better than this?
They were voted in by the electorate. The answer to your question is: NO.
They reflect the intelligence of people who voted for them.
The voters got what they were conned into and gullible enough to agree to.
Same problem as the US: the alternatives are no improvement on the devil you know.
Obviously not as they were elected.
"And if I did, you deserved it." - maybe that last line is the bit that he doesn't feel the need to say out loud - you can see it in his body language to the committee members. He just feels that everyone else is beneath him, and probably deserves everything they get.
In the mind of this man-child, anyone who doesn't worship this self-declared genius deserves the consequences of his misdeeds.
The point is that anyone who has ever been abused may not be able to name these traits, but they'll certainly recognise them, once they have shaken off the belief they've had instilled in them that they, as they've had drilled into them, that they are the ones at fault, and therefore who "deserved it". That last line is the classic abuser's reason (excuse) for their vile bullying behaviour.
James, I've been involved in a narcissistic relationship which is why I know what he is; he has all the traits, entitlement, inability to ever apologise, total lack of empathy, dishonesty on an atomic level, unstable relationships and cheating on partners at the drop of a hat, blame shifting. These are all the signs.
I was in this relationship for six months. Three years on and I'm still in recovery. They're monstrous human beings.
So, he is an Eton graduate...
I was in a relationship with a pw npd
For 15 years.
What seems hard to believe is that people could not see it before Bo Jo
Was elected. Why did people vote him in it was so clear to see when you know
Sociopaths and psychopaths are really scary people if you get to know them.
I hope you survived without too much damage and hope you find real friends and love in the future.
Agreed There is no ounce or remorse or acknowledgement of what they have done.
They truly are. My parents are alcoholic narcissists, I'll be recovering from that upbringing my whole life.

100 agree. My father abused ( beat up and punished my mum and his first 4 children from his first marriage..
He never admitted wrong doing and his excuse was his father never taught him how to be a father. Always excuse, never took responsibility even before he passed. Its a choice. He choice never to change and grow and he was always the victim.
Boris Johnson - His Goose is Cooked - in fact id say It's Oven Ready.
Well at least something is oven ready.
Leftovers will be in the fridge...
I admire optimism. I don’t share it. I suspect the charlatan will get a five day suspension. But not the ten days needed to trigger a recall petition.
Better remove the oven and incinerate it. Don't think I'd ever want anything cooked in that oven ever again
I've made that same joke previously... I hope that your timing is more appropriate 🤞
The excuse was that one of the parties Boris attended was a leaving do......who didn't leave until 39 days later. Couldn't make this up. But Boris can.😔
I’m looking foward to boris johnsons leaving do, 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Couldn't make this up. But Boris can" that's why you don't need to make it up.
Let's face it.. Boris Johnson misled parliament every time he stood up and opened his mouth.
You still did what he told you though. So who's the fool?
I was raised by a narcissist and spent over 14 years with one and had two children by them. I didn't know any better. It's soul destroying and your heart felt sorry for people like me brought me to tears. Thankyou. Your sentiment has healed a part of my broken spirit

Carrie on Lying.
One thing which struck me towards the end of Wednesday's shitshow. Johnson lacks both the imagination and the empathy to realise that the seven MPs questioning him were remembering the inconvenience they had been put to and the trouble they had taken during lockdown to avoid infecting other people. They had no need to mention that, and they rightly didn't; but none of them can have been won over by his indifference and charmlessness.
...and you supported the Lockdown....
I think a well known extract from his school report sums things up "I think he honestly believes that it is churlish of us not to regard him as an exception, one who should be free of the network of obligation that binds everyone else."
Well reminisced.
...sounds like the ideal politician....
Narcissists believe their own lies. 😮
And they will demand you believe it as well
It's not that they only believe it, they're convinced they create reality.
No. They don't even remember their own lies five minutes they utter them. They believe nothing
Johnson is certainly a narcissist but its not that they believe their own lies. They make up their own truths.
Rather than Hands Face Space it should have been Lie Deny Blame.
@@David-kk5fx Including Reform, it's full of Tories!
Thsoe of us who enjoy the odd bit of amateur psychology diagnosed Boris many years ago. The real tradgedy is that despite the warning signs, the evidence and the recklessness of the man, he was allowed to get to a position where his actions had such horrible implications for the nation.
....so you were totally against the Lockdown...totally agree.
@@chatham43 Who TF said anything about lockdown?
Yes, I well remember the quote by a lead member of the Conservative Party on why they elected Johnson as leader of the party, as opposed to Jeremy Hunt, who had the necessary skills; 'Because we thought he'd be more fun." Who's laughing now? Just shows you the stupidity of the Tories...they should be drummed out of office and consigned to the dustbin of history where they so rightly belong.
COVID was of course not meant to happen. If it hadn't, he would still be in power and love bombing the public with gifts and distraction. Ironically, thanks to COVID he was forced to lead properly and failed.
@@jonrinckes Exactly. Even Boris' Head Master reflected in one of his school reports how Boris was 'disgracefully cavalier', had shown a 'gross failure of responsibility' . Most significantly he observed that Boris thought it 'churlish' of people 'not to regard him as an exception to the network of obligation that binds everybody else.' How prescient and accurate that turned out to be.
We were all warned by Rory Stewart three years ago, but no one appears to have been listening.
Don’t you remember that he said the doctors & nurses were having a drink after they finished their shifts

The elephant stomping around the room is the acceptance and normalisation of alcohol at political levels of government. Along with impaired judgement and behavioural whilst partaking.
For me it’s the fact that there were so man parties during a period where they were restricted and there was serious work to be done.
How often are they partying under normal circumstances? It sounds like the government is a student Union bar
I’m sure Boris Johnson said it was commonplace for people ( staff in his case ) to drink on Fridays.
....took the words right out of my mouth barry...😊
I think if you were a business man you might wine and dine a contact at lunchtime to win a contract. What I'm trying to express is that certain types of people think it's normal to mix work alcohol and smoozing together. The rest of the world has moved on apart fm Coronation St where they still drink at lunchtime but then they don't have combi boilers so clearly don't have central heating to pay for. That must be how they afford it.:)

@@chatham43 is that you Boris, or are you lying in your teeth again?
They wanted to take back control: parliamentary sovereignty. And yet, when asked whether he accepted the validity of the parliamentary committee before which he was appearing, he said that depended on whether they concluded he was innocent. Consider the utter arrogance of that conclusion.
The electorate deserved it for voting for him. It fits perfectly.
Actually true... You either learn or you repeat your mistakes till it destroys you.
....that's democracy...you obviously have a problem with it...
True!
You get the government you elect!
The electorate didn't make him PM the party did so don't blame me i didn't even vote for the con party.
...did you vote for Gordon Brown...?
I've been in a relationship with a narcissist. She almost drove me to suicide, stole from me, and everyone thinks she's the victim. Narcissists survive on the fact that no one would do that. No one would be so blatant! So what they did can't have happened. No one would lie like that.
So when the narc does so, no one believes it. Everyone assumes that others have shame, that they feel guilt. So if you don't feel shame, don't feel guilt, you can get away with anything.
No one believes what I say. No one believes I have reasons for staying away from the person. They think I'm being petty. What it's like is being in an ocean, in a storm, on your own. There's plenty of other boats, but each one tells you it's plain sailing, and you must be lying if you don't agree.
As someone who was raised by a narcissist….
It’s been obvious since the start of his political career that boris was a narcissist.
@nathan u Can you always tell someone's lying from their demeanour, do you need proof of a lie or is the implausibility of what they've said enough?
@@crose7412 for me personally. I can usually tell from their body language and wording used.

@@nathanu6759 More still that don't care that he's lying, because he's telling them what they want to hear. Even if it's all lies.
@@nathanu6759 For me, it's the weasel words and the ability to 'embroider' on stories which are supposed to be retellings of their memories, especially memories of things which happened to them, they caused, or which they were involved in. They are inveterate liars, viz pathological liars, incapable of telling the truth, even when doing so would be in their own best interests. They simply expect to believed in whatever they say, because it is them that is saying it; like feudal lords, they believe their own words to be gospel and for them to be perceived as such. When they are not, that's when they can turn really nasty; they'll do heaven and earth to denigrate anyone who takes such a view.
Thanks for covering this. Some of us recognised it years ago.
The reason for causing the chaos is that they need to feed on other's emotions so they create situations to upset and destroy their victims. They are soulless emotional vampires.
I wanted one of the committee to ask him if he honestly expected them to believe he thinks a leaving party is essential but sitting with a dying loved one for their final hours isn’t?

Sadly there are more BoJos than we realise and quite often it’s their families who are most aware of who they are. They use their frightening ‘plausibility’ as a dangerous weapon, which destroys or undermines the health and sanity of the people they live and work with. That Narcissist’s Prayer conjures a silent scream in the heads of those of us who have experience of such people. Thank you for that ‘so sorry’, you surprised me and reduced me to tears.
It also needs to be remembered that while this was going on this man was the Prime Minister, it seems to me that we need to keep reminding ourselves that he was not a recalcitrant teenager but the man with the greatest responsibility in the land, and the buck always stopped with him!
Hey James. I'm in America. I love your program. I've been planning to read one of your books but I'm also finishing my degree so I'll get there when I get there.
It's shocking to me the amount of narcissism in politics in general. I don't understand how so many people that seemed to suffer from this type of political narcissism end up in public service.
I think a big part of it is the lack of accountability that these people have. And I think when you have that type of thing and politics it only makes the public worse for it. Because they try to emulate it or use it as justification for their terribleness.
What normally takes the wind out of the sails of narcissist is the truth. But when you have a system around a person that they don't face accountability for their actions, who would bother with a conscience, anyhow ?
There's a popular politician who said that he could shoot someone and he wouldn't lose any voters. I guess it's speaks for itself
...available in all bad bookshops...😊
Fellow American, I downloaded the global player to listen to his show every morning. Luckily I'm a night owl since it usually starts at 0500 for me (right now it starts at 0600 because they stay DST 3wks later than we do lol) but at this point I'd probably shift my sleeping schedule just too accommodate his show because he/the listeners who call help keep me sane lol
The similarities between what is going on here and there are just mind-blowing. Turns out some of the same groups are involved in politics in both so I suppose it makes sense but it's still hard to fathom that either country has gotten into this mess let alone allowed it to happen for so long. Here's hoping things continue to change for the better
I am puzzled as to why you are surprised at the high number of narcissists in politics. Aside from show business that is the profession that is MOST appealing to narcissists. Each of those professions allows one to stand before crowds of people and be applauded by them.
Donald Trump's obsessive need for adulation is so pronounced that he literally strolls through the Mar a Lago dining room every evening so he can bask in a standing ovation from those in attendance.
seems to be the norm with these types ......political narcissism .........the way there brought up i think...........
I grew up with a narcissistic father and two older siblings, they will ALWAYS go further and further with their abuse, lies, gas lighting etc. if you let them. They always rely on the things that you either want to hear or makes you dependent on them. They don't feel shame as the only thing they care about are the things THEY want, no matter the consquences to others.
Dayna Craig forgot "Besides, that was a long time ago. Why are you still obsessing about it?"
The narcissists mindset is that they are better than you, therefore any perceived slight towards them, ie a criticism, is not acceptable in their mind. Consequently their response to you is deserved. You deserve to be treated badly because I'm brilliant(the narc) and you must see this!

This is what I don't understand about politics. In any other industry there are laws on fraudulent claims, lying or doing things underhand for personal gain. Yet in politics there appears to be absolutely no repercussions or consequences. This has to stop.
I have a memory that almost fits that last line about "you deserve it". While I personally never heard it said out loud by Johnson himself, I clearly remember his friends publicly defending him by saying "everyone else in the country was secretly breaking the rules", as if that made it ok.
It says something about the man when he was having an affair while his wife was being treated for cancer. Given his wife-beating father's lack of remorse perhaps it is heredity!
As I recall, a regime once said “if you’re going to tell a lie, tell a big one. People will always believe the big lie”.
Somehow I’m reminded of this.
The same excuse Stanley Johnson used when he broke his dead wife's nose

Speaking of pathological narcissism... the rate of neurotypical, psychopathic mental disorders under CEOs is vastly higher than in the overall population (4% up to 14% compared to under 1%). Data shows these guys will find their way into these positions. And they don't mind any damage they cause, they just don't.
Yes. Seen a few studies on that. We had some of it in Local Authority Social Care. Counter-intuitively, Enforcement & Safety, Development, Building Control, and Planning were all more empathetic, leaders listened and worked with front line staff, took responsibility rather than blame underlings.
Speaking as a member of the neuro-diverse community...for want of a better phrase...I think another interesting study would be to look at the characteristics of people in the neurotypical population that support, and often vote for, the systems that allow these people to achieve the positions they hold.
It's not just that there's data (going back many years) to demonstrate the prevalence of such people in positions of wealth and power, or that our social and economic systems require some degree of that behaviour for 'success'...it's that we actively reward the behaviour of people who have no business being anywhere near wealth and power by giving them wealth and power. And the only reasons that people who support this can give are based on fantasy and fairy-tales and a wilful refusal to look at the world as it is.
To me, that suggests there is a significant number...in terms of the electorate...of people who have a particular sort of mental disorder that is as yet 'undiscovered'. But of course, being someone with a 'disorder' myself, it's easy for people to dismiss my views.
@@shtarpark7938 I think they're just thick or nieve. Plus he wouldn't have got in if it wasn't for Brexit and the smearing of Corbyn.
Different context for deserve but I get what you mean. The narcissist says you deserved it in the context that if I did it then you brought it on yourself or you made me do it.
"You deserved it" is "You voted me in knowing exactly what I was like"

Until you come to accept and truly believe that karma exists, some people have no reason to act with any decency or moral responsibility.
I don't believe karma exists and yet I think I am a decent and moral person. It is down to principles, the capability to feel empathy, being able to make emotional connection with people.
I have a grandson with medically considered behavioural issues, the most disturbing of which is his belief in the reality he creates to absolve himself of having to face responsibility... The parallels are quite alarming :(
Johnson got away with 'get Brexit done' and 'oven ready deal ' so why couldn't he get away with 'Partygate ' ?
I do seem to remember that gatherings of any sort were not allowed at that point for 'the rest of us'.

...but thankfully you're not...

Yes, and definitely not one of his flying monkeys
Comes as a shock to nobody.
It’s not unbelievable when you realise that BJ is a classic narcissist
Brilliant. To the point.
James, once again, you nailed it. Point by point.
When you find yourself trying to understand the psychology of people who would support someone as amoral as Boris, your mind would be lost in their method less madness.
Reminds of that woman who said she supported him (after admitting he was a liar) because it makes him "human". Some people are so desperate to "stick it to the system" in British politics where admittedly most politics have been fake and very surface, that they'll vote for him over anyone more competent. It's really weird to see.
Personally, I think "narcissistic" is not the most accurate word to describe Boris Johnson's character. I offer a more accurate description in the word "sociopath".
Definition: "Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental health condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others".
I rest my case.
The same can be said for Suella Braverman and Jacob Rees-Mogg, in my opinion, and all those that partied during the covid restrictions.
I agree, I was married to a sociopath, worst 19 years of my life. Boris is definitely one. The bumbling idiot facade cuts no ice with me.
Summed it up perfectly.
Slow clap to all those who voted for him.
I remember saying to myself girlfriend when he won the vote, I said this will end bad.
A democracy you mean
...we've got no time for that here....😊
I think it is helpful to think of narcissists as devoted adherents of their own personal 'religions' which are focused on themselves. In other words, severe and inflexible narcissists are engaged in total self-worship, and those who fall for their psychologically-dominant act of moral and intellectual authority, and who worship, and/or enable them, are what the medical profession describe as, co-narcissists.
Brilliant James
Anyone remember Billy bunter? 😂
Boris is just like Trump....he used to phone up the National Enquirer in the 80's...pretending to be someone else and telling them about Trump having affairs with multiple women...they both get off on this kind of thing.....maybe they think it makes them appear as great lovers like Casanova or Lothario...Boris loves a bit of Shakespeare.
The Victor Meldrew of the radio strikes again!!😂😂
....and. you believed it.....😊
If you cannot agree with me your wrong, his last line
Simply brilliant breakdown!
Seeing Boris put his hand on the bible and swear by it to tell the truth is the funniest thing iv seen and heard in ages
....must admit that was amusing.....😊
Jacob Rees Mogg, the self styled intellect. He is the kind of bloke who could work out the surface area of a banana, but would not know how to peel it. I am just awaiting a scandal involving him, it must be out there somewhere.
Jacob and Nadine sitting in a tree...
Lying
What makes me despair is how many people loved him and voted again for the party that ensures their downfall. Unbelievable
It's called 'pathological denial'. I don't know why its taken years to realize!
The fact that the trolls in the comments can't even defend Boris they are just crying that James is talking about the former prime minister
Goebbelsesque, lie until it becomes the truth. The guy is a moral vacuum, his whole life . Johnson has never changed but he has been allowed to get to where he is and it's those who are really the villains couldn't have gotten anywhere without those who just didn't care as long as they could hang onto his coattails.
Many times, "I don't deserve this" is the same as "you deserved that".
It takes a (self confessed, look it up btw) narcissist to know one Jim O'Biggot
I need to get a copy of the narcissista prayer.. I think I had that experience of a charming hubby who.... I think ypu have just saved my sanity !
That prayer needs additions .... ie... but I did tell you... Yes I did... I know I did... you must have forgotten or not listened...
. After 60 mins or more of this variation..- well I always talk to you in my head so I must have thought I told you..
They watch your jaw drop open as you try to get your head around that... as it's been said quite a few times.... numerous hundreds actually.
.... your brain is doing summersaults. He's a sentimental chappie... no he is not.... by the thousandth time he must realise this takes on a nasty theme... but look at the bewilderment and hurt in his eyes. Perhaps we need to work on this he doesn't understand... by then he has jumped to round three and your jaw drops again...

We missed one major one of the narcissists’ defense: stop dwelling in the past
Yep. "Time to move on" as his supporters are so fond of telling us
