Opinion: Andrew Neil has ruthlessly exposed Boris Johnson as a phoney and a fraud. But it won't make any difference

, doing his usual dreary thing of not answering a single question he was asked and going off instead on some tangent of untruth, except this time, here was Andrew Neil, telling him, “This sort of bluster might get you through the hustings but it won’t work with me. You’re here to face scrutiny. I expect you to answer the question I asked you.”, saying, for the 10,000th time, “I’m an entrepreneur.

peterandann We have that problem too across the pond.

marcuschown He has exposed him as the perfect leader off the Conservative party - I look forward to him being as successful as the last 2!

Andrew Neil has ruthlessly exposed Boris. .. But it won't make a difference. ..SEE?

....err....no he didn't. Not at all. Boris was right re 5b....the meat is all 5b .....5c goes without saying. 🙄

Too many Tory voters set the bar low, very low for their PM or MPs..and as a consequence have suffered from the worst government in living memory...no political achievements of any note.....and still folk will vote for them and accept incompetence

No, it will not make any difference, dickheads are in fashion.

TeaJunkie1 Johnson's fans know he's a liar, doesn't 'do detail' and that he's going to wriggle out of 31 October. The truth is, I suspect, that they don't mind him lying to them because he's such a good bloke.

Probably won't as the World has really turned Wonky

Phoney and Fraud are vote magnets these days. Anything else requires thinking stuff through for oneself.

acgrayling Well, he’s reiterated what we already knew well… And no, it won’t make any difference.

We know we will have a PM worse than Theresa May time to start praying still we can blame Tory Party members for electing the village idiot

True such is the sad state we are in

Hahahahaha

Jawapu It will matter in an election.

jkisthe1 He’s admitted he hasn’t a clue what brexit is about at all , he hasn’t even bothered to read it! Sweet Jesus , a border in Ireland could start another decade of bombings you clown! seriously there has to be a mechanism of a no confidence vote on someone like him

acgrayling Oaf.

No sweat; 'as phoney as the Tories', is entering the English lexicon shortly!

No, it won't make any difference because we have an unnecessarily complicated, distorted, corrupt system. Think back to episodes of 'Yes Minister' to remember who really controls whom.

EdeDinant '...it won't make any difference'. The Kakistocrats are winning. We are but pawns to be crushed as they extract our assets.

AdvocateHalley Of course no one gives a toss, people just want out the EU and Boris is a convenient tool. People support Corbyn anti-semitic and terrorist lover, so supporting Boris is easier than supporting Corbyn. Out the EU, no deal, jobs a good un.

Johnson will turn England into a shithouse society. He never answered any questions Andrew Neil put to him. He asn't got a clue. He still thinks he is at Eton.Johnson is what is wrong with England's class ridden society. He is not a very funny joke.

Johnson is that and worse but he's about to be UK PM. The next step is; what dreadful, damaging and self-serving means will he use to hang on to that job? That's the danger to all of us

At last ! An interviewer who won’t allow Boris to worm out of what he said and the truth comes out. When trust in politicians is at a real low, Boris Johnson continues to swerve questions with a straight answer or take responsibility for his actions !

Good article

Seriously think before every single interview Boris gets his orders and script and if lucky a much needed 'you can do it, we will own the world. I love you' telephone call from trump. Plus every so often a conference with putin

Same as Trump - and won't make any difference.

The Independent, ' the beggars use for toilet paper'.

what utter rubbish , I like Andrew Neil but , not in that interview, he was bullying , arrogant and talked more than them 🤷🏻‍♀️

It won’t make any difference to him being elected but I think the Tory party might end up shooting themselves in the foot as he will soon end up being a liability

No he didn't.

Worth reading teri_kanefield thread analysing why people continue to support populist leaders who lie blatantly. See my retweet. UK situation reflects US closely.

I disagree

Fake news

ErikZoha The country is in tatters. I can’t believe they still gonna vote for him. Well done shallow conservatives voters

Not really - Andrew Neil tried to use manipulated statistics to try and discredit Boris Johnson and failed

Of course it won’t. So let’s stop wasting our time vilifying him and Trump and instead think about why democracy doesn’t work any more and how we could govern our world in the 21st century.

It is very obvious, Johnson has ever been a phoney, just that some of people are too myopic and ignorant to see

nigel__w Boris repeatedly exposes himself as such

My bumbling eccentric act didn't work tonight but I shall carry on and avoid Andrew Neil in future, find a more friendly interviewer !

Which MPs are not frauds They are all on the same gravy train.

Fake, fake & only fake.

The fundamental component to be a Tory leader

So says an anti-democratic EU shill.

We know He only needs to appeal to Tory members and they think he is great These debates are irrelevant to the majority of the country

mancunianmedic And that’s where we are today folks....as RemiAdekoya1 says an intellectual forces you 2 think & a skillfull politician relieves you of that duty🤨

chris_sw123 I hope everyone realises what we're all living through. Historians will lecture about this for hundreds of years.

Nope because he’s the only candidate who will pull the plug on the EU and end their imperialist federal state of Europe fantasy.

Andrew Neil is a Conservative I can at least Respect bc he doesn’t pull punches.

He’s our Trump.

A more divisive potential PM you could not get

Indeed not in the fast becoming Banana Republic that is the UK. Another charlatan and white collar psychopath given the reigns of power, despite avoiding debates, lying through his teeth, and not knowing the essential details about Brexit. The British are so stupid & so gullible.

Just think, in all likelihood the Prime Minister of this disUnited Kingdom, Her Majesty's First Minister, is a shifty, cowardly, mendacious, slobby, self-serving, inept prick. Has the country really come to this

Did we not already know that?

Sadly true

He’s doing the independent next , but it won’t make any difference “everyone new “.

Proper man of the people though in he....

honestly, not this guy

True. Conservatives are a group of elderly white men. They will approve him. Remember realDonaldTrump was exposed as racist. Womaniser. Didn't matter... 🤔

BorisJohnson is clearly a bullsitting fraud. Jeremy_Hunt is clearly the lesser of two weevils.

GB’s one up on Trump

How can you expose something that is blatantly obvious. The man is a charlatan. He cannot be allowed to become Prime Minister at the whim of the majority of 100,000 voters

The biggest phoney and the biggest fraud!

What about Hunt, oh yeah you want hunt as pm. No thank you

It does make a difference, he’s a phoney and a fraud. We haven’t forgotten the Red bus and £350m a week promise.

He’s such an ass-clown.

He exposed Mrs May in trousers too!

Unfortunately people don't care

Phoney and fraud ? Like the Hunt the Remainer who says he’ll deliver Brexit.. or the Hunt that committed fraud ?

Let's make a trade.

Respect your Prime Minister lefties.
