British journalist John Carlin analyzes the announcement of the resignation of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, whom he describes as “a scholar who has nothing to do with Trump”.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced his resignation as leader of the Conservative Party and has confirmed his continuation as tenant of 10 Downing Street until autumn. British political journalist John Carlin isn’t surprised by the announcement, but he’s surprised by Johnson’s ability to last for months despite the many scandals he’s faced: from the lies used to justify Brexit, the party scandal during the incarceration and the final hand that ended his career, the Pincher case. “He reminds me of Rafa Nadal because he always seems to be on the brink of collapse, just like the athlete, but the prime minister has already reached his limit,” said Carlin.
For this journalist who specializes in politics, Boris Johnson is a “scholar, witty and funny” who knows Latin and Greek and who “looks nothing like Donald Trump, except that he is a “narcissist”. In addition, he points out that he is a very English politician because he can laugh at himself and “looks like he did that to the end”.
As for the future of the still prime minister, John Carlin thinks he will leave his post before the fall as pressure from his own party will be very high. In the inventory, the journalist believes that Johnson “has not been worthy to lead a country. The great thing is that he also pushed us towards Brexit.”
