Johnson officially resigned as Prime Minister last week, so we wanted to take some time to reflect on his tenure. From how Johnson ended up in Number 10 to why he eventually saw his grand vision come crumbling down.

I love how Brexit was "Done" in the same manner as a student deciding to start their essay a few hours before it is due and submitting an incomplete work. Yeah, you technically did it...
Worse, using an incomplete work completely copied off of a colleague, whose quality of work Boris kept talking trash about, as she feels constrained not to point that out.
Of all the essays I wrote in a few hours I don't recall any as bad as the results of that negotiation. I mean the essays were bad but at least I generally spelt my own name correctly.
A cautionary tale if there ever was one, why does our society reward people who do these things? Being fired for lying as a journalist should have ended his career right there (generously ignoring earlier misdeeds)
Because a huge chunk of 48% people decided they wanted to pick and choose what democratic votes they thought should be implemented
Also, daddy paid for it. For any given value of "it"
> Being fired for lying as a journalist should have ended his career right there
You say that, knowing full well that there are media outlets whose owners love nothing more than lying to the public to get their will.
So its kinda like Trump.
People are used to politicians lying and backflipping, but being sneaky about it.
Boris and Trump are SUPER BLATANT about what they do. So some people think that means they are joking.... some people think that means they are more honnest in their lies.... some people just see them as more trustworthy because its easier to see through their lies. Some people just hate the standard political class and thus this is a breath of fresh air.
Popularism is always a result of people not trusting Politicans anymore, and ends ONLY when either a dictator scares everyone else back to voting standard OR the politicans win back trust.... ususally both.
...at the same time the 🍊 clown occupied the white house. So the standard for any high office in democracies seems a bit eroded 🤔
My dad’s friend knew Johnson. He said “If you were to say that someone at that table would be prime minister of the UK, you would’ve chosen the Moroccan cleaning the toilets before Boris”
the cleaner was already more honest and hardworking than Boris ever was.
your dad's friend is quite racist
I don't know. I will vote for a partying, Brexit getter and lockdown refuser any-day.
Boris' epitaph: "Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid." - Valery Legasov in "Chernobyl".
Johnson "Only an idiot pays that debt himself, let the peons carry that burden instead."
I’m starting to doubt Legasov’s words.. (if that’s what he really said that is… Not sure if they made that line up for the TV series or it’s actually something he said)
Some people like Clinton, Obama and/or Trump literally get away with murder (and in some cases, rap (e)) and lies and they will live comfortably for the rest of their lives without any serious consequences… Same with Johnson I mean what is the debt here? He’s lost his job… wow what a punishment lol if I behaved at my job like that I would’ve been gone long ago…
Other than that there are no real consequences for Johnson
This is a stunning collection of Johnson’s failures. Amazing that the system allows someone like him to come so far. If it was a movie it would seem a bit far fetched.
There's something very fundamentally broken in the system that allows a man like Johnson to get to the position.
This guy was the best PM you will ever have in your entire LIFE. You are severely misled if you think he was a failure.
So when Johnson was a reporter he lied a lot and when he became a politician he... lied a lot. Who could have guessed this?
Not the British people.
To this day, I still can't comprehend how the brits ever considered Boris Johnson suitable for public offices, let alone a prime minister.
The media whitewashed his public image to stop Jeremy Corbyn
In the words of Jon Richardson, Boris was like a wet fart; funny at the time, but you have to check for damage immediately afterwards.
Me neither. And I’m British.
@@mangonel ITYM "Heroine"...
I am not sure. It could be the new style of "strong man" and "cult of personality": a vain man presents complete confidence, but at the same time presents a ridiculous side that cause people to laugh at him (and disarm caution). Add in the disregard for process (i.e. constitution and due process and precedent and personal loyalty) and a press and public willing to not call him on what he previously said or did. There are even rabid supporters who will attack any questioning of the leader.
It's the same reason in many ways that Trump was able to succeed and still has supporters.
BoJo got his big majority on the ticket to "get Brexit done" and nothing else. He then went on to deliver Brexit by imply accepting the so passionately rejected border checks in the Irish Sea, seemingly intending to never implementing them once the deal was signed. So one could say that his greatest successes were entirely based on lies.
A "fun" game is to look at every Johnson policy decision and sort out how many would have had the same or even better results if instead of Johnson doing something nobody had done anything.
Though we still can't be sure who he is lying to, or possibly both; and it still isn't done anyways...
The fact is that he based Brexit on the same facts that every politician uses to get people who do not want to think about others to agree with him. He said that Europe was draining UK, thet it was Europe's fault that things were going badly, that immigration too was Europe's fault and that UK would only prosper if it went back to isolating itself. Less than a century later, it seems that we are watching the world go back to pre second world war times. Only, this time we have atomic bombs. I'm almost relieved that this is happening. If we humans go extinct maybe tha planet has an actual chance to save itself. And i know that i should not say it, after all i'm alive too, but i frankly would not care to die at this point. I see it as a struggle against things that i can do little to stop. I mean, i try to stay positive and build myself a life, but everytime that something like this happens, it reminds me that everything could be taken away from me in an istant, and my will to live dies a little bit more. And i do not mean by death, i mean by some politicians in power that might decide that i am no longer considered a person.
Maybe the people loved him because of his time when he was mayor of London. Just compare him with the shyte London have now.
I find the support of Boris astounding. He could take a literal dump in the street and people would say "aw, well, he's doing his best, that loveable rascal". I really don't understand how he got away with so much
Boris: *pisses in their bowl of cornflakes*
Con voters: "well he has to piss somewhere"
3:35 - This leaves out something *really* important: his career as a "journalist" boiled down to stoking anti-EU sentiment. Many of the toxic fabrications used to justify Brexit originated in utter bull he'd concocted for his articles.
So, he’s the reason for xenophobia for the EU in the public
@@tourmelion9221 he said stuff likt women in burkas look like letterboxes
Yep. He single handedly secured BREXIT. From start to finish. I almost respect it....
@@maalikserebryakov
Have you read the whole article you’re on about?
I did, I suggest you do too, after that comment.
@@tourmelion9221
The U.K. is the least xenophobic country in all the eu. I am an eu citizen living in the U.K..
You forgot that he gave PPE supply contracts to his friends and buddies, and bought loads of cheap PPE from China which we then had to pay to be destroyed as they were unfit for use...
May failed because the ERG and Johnson himself kept voting against her "deal". Saying no british pm can ever accept that. Than he become pm and accepted the same "deal" and said it was great. Than within a few months he started to try and break it and been at it since...
You’re on another hemisphere, What planet are you on pal? What is an ERG? An erotic romantic gorilla? And what’s this ‘deal’ youre on about? I knew boris sniffed, but I didn’t know Teresa liked an old nose beer as well…
As I recall accepted a worse deal.
Actually, no. The deal Johnson accepted was the one May said no British PM should ever accept. May had a better deal.
Ultimately, with Brits government being stupid, ignorant and above its lack of knowledge on how a union they were instrumental in building worked, it's no surprise we ended where we are.
@@darrenmcposstot8200 ERG = European Research Group, the eurosceptic wing of the Tories
I never thought of this channel doing video essays, but this style of video works surprisingly well here!
“Romping around london” that is very apt.
When he talks about the success of the vaccine rollout it brings to mind a variation of Churchill's famous quote
Never, in the field of human suffering, has the work of so many, been taken credit for by one man. This was the NHS finest hour.
I don't know if a quote from the guy who prevented other countries giving aid to India during a horrendous famine really has the high ground there.
@@theMoporter Boris sees himself as the new Churchill, however for all his faults Churchill did put praise where it was due, whereas Boris takes it all for himself.
If the government are responsible for its failings like PPE and capacity, why aren’t they also responsible for its successes? The gov made the vaccine programme incredibly simple. If we could have that same investment and staffing and dedication to the cause, we’d clear the backlogs within a year. You think Covid was bad? Wait until the death toll from backlogs is added in.
"To know Boris, is to hate him"
Boris should've gone after the "let the bodies pile high" statement. It's ridiculous that it was dragged out to this extent.
I'm not a fan of Keir Starmer but for the love of God, please can we have a new government.
It’ll be another conservative one which sucks
He should've gone as soon as the Supreme Court decided that his suspension of democracy was unlawful
A Labour gov? Are you nuts?
@@joaquinescotoaleman4320 Oh yeah cause the last Labour government was sooo much worse than this farce (S/)
@@grippingrope9937
Suspension of democracy? At least say it the right way. Proroguing parliament. He took advice from the attorney general.
I wouldn't be surprised if the next government implodes in the next three to six months and Boris jumps back on the train ...
Nah, BoJo is too rancid to be electable now.
Broooooo, you had no fucking clue 😭😭😭😭
I remember seeing Boris the first time (I’m a Belgian). It was at the end of the Olympic Games in China. Where he came on stage as mayor of the next Olympic city. I remembered laughing when I saw him, and being baffled someone like him could become mayor. Al others on stage were perfectly dressed, and very distinguished and formal. And then there was Boris: his hair a mess, his suit wrinkled, walking on stage as if he was a farmer on his field….
Bet he took yer bird as well kristoff my man boris does that a lot
That's his image. There is actually some video out there of him being groomed before an interview and intentionally mussing up his hair right before the cameras roll so it can't be corrected.
It's a very intentional attempt to get those around him and the public to lower their guard so that all the bullshit he pulls can be waved away as part of 'endearing' character.
As a Belgian of The EU's Capitol Member-State, I'm sure it made you glad he was leaving.
But he is "lovable", the British believe... when you start electing people for their perceived personality traits rather than their competence, experience and electoral programmes, this is what you get.
I said from almost day one, that May should have appointed Boris Johnson as the chief EU negotiator and Nigel Farage as his deputy.
That would have removed their ability to attack her progress, because anything they said could be shot down with either "you refused the offer to do it properly" or "it was your job to do this", and similarly any and all attacks from the ERB could be pawned off on those two. After all, who could possibly be better suited for the job than the two leaders of the leave campaign?
Nigel Farage wasn’t an MP though, I guess as a MEP he could of had such a position. Other than that, I completely agree.
Good shout.
And 90% of MPs should have voted for whatever was negotiated. 5% head bangers at either end.
@@Tomcat13436 You wouldn't need to be an MP to be a negotiator.
And you could easily make the argument that due to his long carreer as an MEP, Farage would be uniquely qualified for the role of deputy Brexit negotiator.
The outcome of Brexit wouldn't be substantially different, and the UK would be at least as fucked as it is at the moment, but it would have hamstrung the main millstones dragging May down.
@@MrMartinSchou You make a good point.
@@danielwebb8402 Oh, they'd have voted for setting their constituents on fire, if it was put in front of them.
true to form Johnson is having a farewell shindig instead of attending a Cobra meeting
He became party leader because he was the least unpopular candidate at a time when many tories didn't want to deal with the consequences of the brexit result. He won the election because the main opposition party sabotaged itself and our supposedly free press decided to resemble the media in a dictatorship whereby the opposition was a danger greater than the party in power and because FPTP meant a majority was possible despite getting a third of the available vote.
"A huge great stonking mandate" - but only by the English electorate. In 2019 the Welsh electorate voted in a majority of Labour MPs, in Northern Ireland they voted away from Unionist parties and in Scotland the tories lost more than half their seats. Boris never had a "rise" outside England.
Scotland voted for the SNP so much that they're the 3rd largest party is parliament
It seems borises passion for leaving unions rubbed off on the scots
Don’t put London into this
@Saddon Carrs True, but that's what the older Conservative have identified, that he's really just an English Nationalist. An awful boorish Grotesque that says what people want to hear with no idea of how to get it, whilst at the same time using his position to get public funds or high-paid public jobs for his girlfriends and mistresses to always be within boning distance.
A truly odious specimen.
In northern ireland the unionist parties still got more of the overall vote and the snp and greens still didn't get over %50 of the vote
@@Andrew-ob5ij londonistan
Boorish Johnson said he's going with his 'head held high.'
That's because even he cannot stand the stench where he's been sitting.
Has the UK suffered a situation before where three Prime Ministers in a row, whether from the same party or not, resigned?
After all winning elections
Very strange
It's like the conservatives are a Con or something! They mislead the public and then surprised Pikachu when it blows up in their face

@@cuff1626 Thank you, mate.
Unbelievably, I think you have to go back to Ted Heath in 1974 for the last time a Prime Minister entered Government via an election and left Government via an election
Saying "Rise to highest office in country" while showing him dangling from that zip wire - Priceless!! 😂😂
Addressed COVID 3/4 months too late, the man has blood on his hands! I suspect they saw COVID as an opportunity to continue the hobbling of the NHS
Whoa, here in Africa we mostly ignored all those corrupt lockdowns. And we survived better than you.
I liked this video. Felt like a quick documentary. I'm from the US and found this very interesting. Ya'll should do more videos in this format. And yes, I am subscribed to TLDRUS
You failed to mention the phenomena of Londongrad, Bojo likely being a Russian asset and pushing the son of a former KGB Agent into the House of Lords against the advice of MI6.
Say what you like about Johnson, but I'd say his greatest strength is being one of the most impressive liars in 21st century Britain.
He told lies people wanted to hear though, so there is blame on the voters themselves as well
Not really. You'd be surprised how many bad lie detectors there are out there (I'm talking about the people who believed him).
Johnson needs to stay PM for another three weeks to beat May's 3 years and 12 days, the shortest Tory PM tenure in over half a century.
That's why he's clinging on like a limpet.
This forgot to say that when he fell. He dragged the party down to hell with him. Turning it into what many would say "nothing more but a joke"
There's an old legend in Britain that when God created the universe, there were some defective humans, with no hearts or minds or souls between them. So God slapped a blue sash on them and called them Tories.
A fall but I bet a financial well padded one, leaving behind destructions, UK's reputation and millions of Britons on the side of the road
Several people have mentioned Boris lying as a journalist, but no has mentioned Boris's only concern about giving Darius Guppy fellow journalist Stuart Collier's address, so Guppy's pals could give Collier "a couple of black eyes or a cracked rib ", was, not that this was wrong, but that he might be associated with it. Boris of course was made editor of the Spectator on the promise he would not stand for Parliament. A promise that he of course proceeded to break. Who could think this man would make a good MP? And what MP would think a man who in his first 4 years couldn't even make half the parliamentary votes would make a good PM? Also don't think Boris is gone until he's actually gone.
I gotta say that I lost track of you guys for a year or so but I'm happy to see you back. You have improved so much!
Im honestly so delighted to be PM
Do you think all this is a bit unfair? Was Brexit really the disaster people say it is?
Should be titled "The Rise and Fall and Fall *AND FALL* of Boris Johnson."
he did not fall he was pushed out by the left
@@Anthony-xd1lj He was pushed out by members of his own party.
@@jamesgravil9162 yes and they all wanted to remain in the EU and once the riches apart of london did not come to the rescue then they knew it was over. and we left the EU.
If you do most of the search they all wanted to remain!
@@jamesgravil9162 we had Damian Hinds remainer, we had Sajid Javid a remainer and the other 30 people were also remainers.
At this point, I blame the people who voted for BoJo as well as the Conservative party as a whole for touting him more than the man himself. This information isn’t new, isn’t private and has been out there for a while-and there are STILL people who thought him running the country was a good idea.
We had to stop the broadband communism tho /s
too many people read the Mail or Telegraph unfortunately
The huge media machine basically garunteed his election win because anything and everything could be said about Corybn, regardless if true or not, in the run up to the election, but nothing that could be even remotely seen as damaging to Boris was allowed to air.

Correction: technically UK wasn't the first to roll out covid vaccines in Europe. Hungary has done it first, whilst also being a member of EU
So only 26 out of 27 "happened" to not act independently.
Didn't Hungary start in February 2021? Vs UK December 2020?
@@danielwebb8402 we didn't have vaccines to roll out in 2020 whatsoever. We did not begin distributing them in December
@@bt3743
Well according to BBC and Wikipedia and facts, we started on 8th December 2020.
"began on 8 December 2020 after Margaret Keenan became the first person in the world (outside trials)"
But I'm sure you are correct. That didn't happen. It wasn't all over the news. I didn't see the film of it that very day.
And you are proud in rolling out rushed, untested vaccines. Vaccines from a company that had major trust issues and scandals. Vaccines from a company that paid the biggest fine for fraud in history. Vaccines from a company that had record earnings because of covid. I hope you are not one of those three million unnecessary deaths.
Any change the video can have it's volume normalized? It's really quiet in some parts and extremely loud in others.
There was a rise of boris Johnson? 🤣

Fake news.
In the words of Boris Johnson's 4th form teacher when referring to Boris "He really is an insufferable little s*"t isn't he"*

It from the start amazed me that the electorate decided to entrust the operation of the British government to someone who cannot operate a comb.
Even worse, the messy hair is known to internationally be done to craft a certain image
During covid boris spoke only to England not the whole of Britain
Love your videos . Maybe you can do a poll asking how many U-turns Bo-jo and did
I really liked the editing, animations and background music on this one! Of course the topic was also very informative as usual. Great video!
Truely, I hope he becomes remembered as one of the top contributors to what can be argued as easily within the top three post WW most damaging events in UK history, all in the pursuit his own explicate corrupted benefit.
out of the Fourth reich . Looove Boris
I'm here just to praise the Animation/Video Improvements this channel and all TLDR channels has done.
It's been a while Since I watched your latest vids, and I have to say, I am astonished looking at those very minor, barely noticeable Improvements. But they exist, and they do elevate your Videos. Well done @TLDR Team
What is much more important to understand than the reasons for his downfall, which was inevitable, is why some many, on all sorts of levels chose to trust and continuously back him, an already well documented incompetent lying egomaniac with the job as PM. Because that is not something we want to happen often in the future...
The problem is that Boris has been extremely good at short term politics, bringing in results that could increase electoral appeal even at the cost of being bad results. This appease the politicians that only care about being in office. The larger public has sadly a short memory and forgets stuff quickly, too quickly.
BJ hasn't been good at short term politics. That's just what's printed and rabbited out through the media. Thats the proctective ring he gets by 'being a good sport'. Done long enough in an election cycle so people don't ask too many questions to actually see that it's just BS and always was. Media happy to rabbit because it sells. BJ happy to say it because he likes it and sees himself with no other function. I blame both MSM and BJ/his cronies.
Boris Johnson has done a lot for the EU since the beginning of the war ... and you did not realize it enough ... Actually, you need such politicians in these wartime ....
Imagine if he had become PM just right after David Cameron, back in 2016
I think your staff might need to review their timelines when they're working on your videos. The UK didn't leave the EU at the end of 2021, they did so in January 2020. And it's impossible for the energy crisis to have worsened in 2021 due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine as that did not happen till February 2022.
It's now July 2022 and we still haven't totally left the EU.
Exactly. I was surprised to hear that Russian invasion happened in 2021. Has it been so long ago that it is difficult to remember the year?
I was also surprised to hear that Brexit has been done. What about Northern Ireland?
I m french and i really enjoyed the quality of the video, great job
Maybe the Spitting Image Boris said it best. "To the millions who voted for me, just let me say this: ha ha."
Note: Theresa May didn't want Brexit. It often seems, that she is regarded as a Brexit proponent
Huh? She was a Remainer, but for her entire campaign as PM, she promised to get Brexit done. The Brexiteers theorised it was some kind of scheme to remain in the EU, but frankly, I'm pretty sure she realised that a Brexit that was both sustainable and legal was impossible and she was screwed no matter what she did.
Even David Cameron didn't want Brexit. He only proposed the referendum to throw a bone to UKIP voters, and never expected it to pass.
Excellent podcast 👍
There are a lot of Tory voters who became very unhappy with Boris Johnson, and have actually stopped voting Conservative. What they'll vote instead though ... only time will tell.
Ooh slicker editing and background music
And a longer vid
Perhaps you should do a similar video on Thatcher and Churchill
Britain being the first to begin administrating the vaccine is very technically correct. For one thing, America administered the same vaccine on the same day, for another, there were certainly people who had received that exact vaccine during the trials, although none of them would know at the time that it'd be the final form or even whether it was an actual vaccine and not a placebo.
Okay, the bit about trials is pretty funny. That definitely doesn't count (and the Oxford trials were done in the UK, anyway)
I'm really hoping this video wasn't made prematurely.
On the flip side, accountability finally catching up with this dumpster fire gives me hope in regards to the dumpster fires currently burning in my own country of the U.S. for the past 7 years.
Great video!
I strongly suspect that none of the three PM's involved with the Brexit process (and neither will Corbyn) will come out judged well in the history books.
But if I had to guess who will come out worse, it is none other than BoJo the wonder clown right here.
If he lives long enough to see it he will miss the days when that was all that people call him, as "the prime minister that doomed the UK" has a far darker tone to it, and that is *EXACTLY* what I think he did.
An incredible favour to Cameron's legacy.
Okay these segues are just becoming funny at this point, as soon as i hear "problem solving, i know its brilliant.
Rise and fall of reggie perrin
I didn't get where I am today by not knowing old TV references
Very well balanced report 👏
It's also the rise and fall of Brexit.
The idea that the uk deserved a special position within the eu, was flawed and the height of hubris in the first place. "Treat us like we are better than you, or we'll leave" only could have gone one way. The problem is it's now transformed into "Treat us like we're special or we'll break all our international agreements and throw an epic tantrum"
I know these are supposed to be short presentations, but you should have mentioned his defence of Dominic Cummings' birthday jaunt and Boris's constant lying to the House of Commons. Also, you should have been more explicit about his illegal U-turn on the Northern Ireland protocol. These might not have been the issues that turned his party against him, but they are certainly among the reasons that the country as a whole began to loathe him.
Forgot one more thing, admittedly, he will be remembered as Ukraine’s 1st major erstwhile ally, especially by Ukrainians.
Sure. That’s what he made you think.
Unfortunately he's been in a party that has basically encouraged Russian money to be funneled through the UK and personally has links with the KGB. Out of his 20+ years in politics he's helped Ukraine for about 5 months
@@FableBlaze We, not in the UK, think there is much more to it then one tiny country “ taking the lead”. Do you really think the EU is interested in a PR offensive? You really have to dig in to see why the UK is not leading in any way, shape or form to see the extend of what is going on and that has little to do with Bojo posturing on pics “ look how we lead”. It nay well be that Bojo actually set the stage for the invasion by the destabilisation attempt to break up the EU.
When a stranger comes and offers you candy, "he's your best friend" or is he? It must be remembered that Johnson's legacy with the Russians bribing the British with money and hobnobbing with the KGB Lebedev made him a Russian asset. It's like facilitating homicidal burglar entry into your house and while their in the process of trashing the place, offering to call the police. The Ukrainians I suspect know this but for the sake of optics and a fear that the weapons might dry up, are in PR terms have been obligated to "smile for the camera".
At the same time though, the UK has made it extremely difficult for Ukrainian refugees to arrive compared to other European countries
Hey TLDR, love your stuff and subscribed to Nebula recently! I couldn’t find a video suggestion form but a lot of the candidates for conservative party leader are promising tax cuts, could you guys do a video on the feasibility of this? Maybe discussing the promises they are making and how realistic these are? Thanks!
Good segment overall but one small thing: You say the anger over our energy crisis carried on into 2021 when it worsened due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This is historically inaccurate, as this Ukraine war started in March 2022.
It looks like he missed a “then”, “when it then worsened (in 2022) due to Russia…”
Interesting recap!
What puzzles me though, as I can see that the f word is suppressed despite being spelled out on the slide, I wonder why the word rape was both suppressed and striked through. Does that have to with a lack of an actual conviction?
I saw his resignation speech. It sure didn't sound like a man that was going to retire. I suspect he'll be back again- Or at least will attempt to return.
Don't live in the UK, so I'm going to miss him, solely because I loved hearing about the next idiotic thing he did. Now I'll only hear about the senile US president.
Which US president are you implying is senile?

Didn't Russia introduce a 'Sputnik' vaccine in August 2020 - several months before the UK? And Brexit isn't done btw - the Good Friday Agreement and the need to keep borders open between Ireland and Northern Ireland has meant it's still a festering issue between the UK and the EU
Great video, thank you for making this.
Most people have a haircut, but Boris Johnson is a haircut that has a person.
5:00 you forgot to mention the most immediate reason for her resignation, which was the Tory failure in the EU elections
Pity that some of the background music is so loud.. it makes it difficult to focus on what’s being said, particularly during the segment about the Downing Street flat scandal.
Please, don't put background music. Please don't.
Awesome. Excellent channel. Spot on. Well said. Support STV voting system for Uk general election politically in Britain.
UK citizens really need to start asking themselves how they manage to elect such terrible MPs and Prime Ministers (yeah I know, you don't get to elect your PM, but surely before the 2019 election you KNOW that Boris Johnson is the leader of the party and that he will become PM if you give his side a majority?).
Well, terrible education can be blamed for starters.
Around 5-6 years ago, I checked British Highschool education average score vs Lithuanian. Lithuania surprisingly was a few point higher.
My coworker also has a kid who goes to highschool here. Highschools in Britain are pathetically terrible and above all, classist.
Most of all. Torrie voters have been buying their government lies about how everything was EU fault, despite British government and MEPs being responsible for it.

Terrible education? Some of the best universities in the world.
How many Lithuanian Nobel laureates there are? I can tell you there’s more British….
I wonder why so many Lithuanians move to the U.K.
P.S. I am an eu citizen living in London, with dual citizenship now. I been to Lithuania around 10 times between 2006-2013, absolutely beautiful.
@@corradomancini3271 University education? Yes, one of the best.
But if you bothered reading the rest of my comment, you would see that I'm writing about high school education.
Which really is atrocious in here.
@@Suksass Agree completely, nobody gets taught about politics and how all the cheating, corruption and tax avoidance works - and why would they, the last thing the politicians want is people understanding what they get up to!
WE can only elect what's put in front of us and then you have to decide if it's worth voting for who you want as it might get wasted. The thinking goes along the lines of, if I vote green I might as well not bother, and the same for 4 other parties. there are then 3 parties, right, middle, and left. The middle party bit of a pointless vote as well so left/right. So you have 2 parties. one loony left the other Boris (or another tax evader). Who are we supposed to vote for?
I wonder where would Johnson be if he didn't back Brexit. I'm pretty sure he wanted Cameroon's job and at the very least he wanted to be part of Cabinet, so sticking with their current leader would just mean the job is occupied longer, meaning that's more time Johnson doesn't have a chance. Would he just fade into obscurity, find a scandal, be part of Cabinet, or eventually be PM anyways?
Johnson was expected to become Con candidate for prime minister at some point after he'd successfully became mayor of london just because it proved he was a liberal conservative considered to be electable by lib dem & liberalised labour constituents vs how unelectable most tories have historically been in those demographics, if a party can capture a swing vote they typically will aim to do so, & he did deliver a pretty major swing in formerly labour areas off the back of the brexit swing vote alongside a demographic & policy shift in the local conservative membership in those areas
I loved your breakdown And the story of Boris and then you came to the energy crisis.
I think we all know that only about 20% is due to the war in Ukraine.
Can you please present another side or a theoretical side from what we have been told about the energy crisis and why other places in the world have only increased their energy prices slightly like in France at 4%
For France at least it is probably due to them relying mostly on nuclear power.
@@MalloonTarka Not at all, a great number of the nuclear reactors are not even in service at the moment! True reason is electricity supply in France is not fully privatised and the state still has a say in energy prices. In UK it's all privatised: in other words, the government just bends over and accepts whatever prices the suppliers want to set.
Odd you didn't mention that when he published the memo where he emphatically supports leaving the EU, investigators found a discarded second memo stating he emphatically supported starting in the EU. He clearly didn't know exactly what to do at the start of this all and only made his decision fairly late
Alexander Boris dePfeffel Johnson used family connections to keep failing upward and learned that privilege and power obviate responsibility and accountability. He can fool some of the people all of the time but eventually, he couldn't fool all of the people all of the time, especially as his Party followed him into believing they were above the law and rules.
Wait there was a rise? I must have missed it. I only saw an unending jaw dropping, permanent horror movie like, clumsy and panic inspiring fall... although that would imply there was a high.
Actually johnson may be the first man to fall before even rising.
He's a shepherd tone of gravy dribbling horror. Always has beeb and always will be. He likes it.
Johnson achieved a massive majority of over 80 which is one of the highest since the conception of the House of Commons. So I would say that was a rise
@@rosscampbell2296 that only proves there's a majority of psycho, don't give a fuck, partially traitors of their nation, out of touch with reality and borderline Russian assets in the parliament... which I guess does point out another problem. I mean those guys got elected.
Some fuck up middle class dudes and dudettes basically voted for those guys... wonder what that tells us about who votes for those caricatures of politicians.
@@rosscampbell2296 Eyi the rise of the gravy dibblers.
I mean I guess he could always still run for president in the US… 🤷♂️
he paid to get his US citizenship removed after the US started taxing overseas citizens
Never heard of this guy I just tough he looked weird isn't he like a comedian or something?Had no idea he was a legitimate politician.
Cameron did NOT call the referendum to put the issues to bed. He called the referendum as part of a deal with tax-dodging donors who wanted out of legislation and scrutiny
and then campaigned against them & quit when he failed ? Cameron was a *unt but he clearly wanted to stay in the EU & saw both the scottish & european referendums as political stunts to break down the support of opposition founded on those issues
I need to see some sources for Boris actively trying for PM. From my point of view it was him knowing what he was peddling was bullshit, and dodging the poison challice.
When you put a clown into a palace you don't make him a king, the palace becomes a Circus
As an Australian, I remember my first impression of him was being a Trump 2.0 - both considered funny, charismatic, but no substance. They even have the same hair going lol. Him supporting Brexit could have been another factor too.
I keep saying this, but in fact Trump is Johnson 2.0. Don't forget he was doing this way before Trump.
Both vacuous narcissists, yes.
Forgot how much we have gone through since 2019 ahahha
Larry the cat for PM!
I’m afraid Larry the cat is a civil servant so neutral in all of this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@TheStobb50 Thats why he is perfect.
Greatest PM in history and living memory. You were the BEST!
I loved the video, thanks for this. I've just learnt about your channel! I'll see how I can support you in the upcoming future.
That said, I'm sorry, I know it's not the main topic, but I have to ask: why on earth is the word "rape" censored? It's neither a swearword nor are slur. If someone's a rapist, especially someone elected to represent us, I like it said out loud, no softening. I hope it's not because people are too sensitive to hear the word. In that case, I inform you that trigger avoidance is not a therapeutic strategy to rape-induced ptsd, but a symptom, so you'd be enabling the sickness in people. Shielding people from causes of distress is just fashionable, but highly damaging.
I always point to at the beginning the Conservative MPs were not very keen on Boris because they knew him personally, it was pressure from outside Parliament and ultimately resulted in Prime Minister Boris’s disastrous run, I always saw him as a clown but I do think, Boris the movie, will be hilarious
The only way it would be funny instead of sad was if it was an exceedingly dark comedy.
Funny , the voters felt that way about Corbyn the terrorist apologist
