the people became very unhappy with the way things were going.

What fun! The narrator gabbles a bit though, don't he?

If he hadn't gabbled it would have been a long description.

However, a recent phone in on bbc in the south found that Boris is still
popular with mostly Women. People were saying things like, what is the point
in looking back over what cannot be changed, I think he does have some
allure to many, because is the sort of blagard type some ladies secretly
go for, at least in fantasies.

The fact are that he does not listen, even if he hears, He often gets the
wrong end of the stick and drops himself and others in it, He thinks that
most things when they go wrong are somebody elses fault, and maybe they
are,but as he is the final arbiter of the policy being signed off, he should
stand by his decisions. Sadly this trait is very common today, where I'm
sorry seems to actually be the hardest word. Nobody can be flawless,
affecter all, we are all human and you do not really go to politicians
university to learn about how to do it, if anyone has then the course seems
rubbish!

So I would suggest that there simply is nobody out there who is able to make
a non partisan decision on any topic at all, there are always going to be
those who follow party dogma as they truly believe its the best way, even
though sometimes its not.

I am starting to translate "Lessons will be learned" as

That is not how it should be.

He is, despite all appearances, not an idiot AFAICT. He seems to be
very skilled at getting the people in the room with him to hear what they
want to hear even if it means that they leave the room with completely
incompatible views of what was said. The only trouble is that he doesn't
mean a word of it and it's all coming to roost - particularly the bit where
the DUP and EU left the room happy, both convinced that the essential border
would not be where they wouldn't accept it and somehow ignoring the detail
that there was nowhere left for it to be.

But he sorted that out by explaining that he didn't intend to keep his
promises.

I suspect he can turn extremely nasty when crossed.

I'm not so sure he is that bright. I just think his bluster is what causes
the effect. Take the elections bill being bounced between commons and Lords.
His cabinet office promised blind people a level playing field in accessible
secret voting but then he moved the responsibility half way along to the new
Levelling up dept. The message has been lost and loads of crap about photo
id and blind equality being funded by councils has crept into the bill
which have caused consternation, yet it was railroaded through the commons
as if it was yesterdays news, making us less likely to get a secret ballot
or any ballot at all if we have no passport or driving licence, I mean where
would a blind person get a driving license?
What about postal votes? Scan in you passport assumes you have a computer.

No next up is the Internet safely bill that wants to have back doors the
gov can use to spy on communications. Can you imagine if the incompetent lot
who left ram sticks on trains gets hole of our personal data?

And a scanner and a passport. I don't have a passport and since my eart
began playing silly ossd (dropouts) I haven't driven so never renewed
my licence.
