They’ve got one chance here be Tories and that chance is Rory Stewart.
They vote Johnson in and it’ll be terminal.
Rory Stewart eh?
‘He looks like someone who would turn up unannounced at Downton Abbey and inform Lord Grantham he's a nephew whom he hasn't seen since 1876 because he's been away ‘in the colonies’
He would spend a few days ingratiating himself with the family and making overtures towards the plain daughter with the illegitimate child before the dowager countess notices that he doesn't know what order to use his cutlery in at the dinner table and smells a rat.
Carson the butler would be enlisted to discreetly get to the bottom of the whole thing and the episode would end with him being confronted with a bag full of stolen candlesticks and pocket watches and the nephew's death certificate. Lady Mary would take the train to London with her granny to see him publicly hung because "one must be able to look death in the eye."’
No way are they voting in a remainer.
You’re right in that they won’t vote him as leader and PM, mainly because he looks a bit odd. The other thing against him is that he doesn’t seem to be a complete **** or idiot like the rest of them. That seems to be a pre-requisite these days to get on in the Tory party.Rory Stewart eh?

The last place Rory Stewart governed was southern Iraq in 2003. I seem to recall it didn't go that well...
Its not the whole of Sikhism though, is it?
Orthodox Sikhs may eschew alcohol, but some of the biggest piss-heads I know are Sikh, and are open about it.

I don’t think the Muslim example is analogous, as there is much more of a stigma attached to drinking within that religion, and as such social drinking within Islam is much less common. I agree that Johnson’s comments were injudicious, given the setting, and his response was pitiful (and he is indisputably a ****) but what that woman asserted about the Sikh religion, I know from personal experience to be wholly wrong. Not in the sense that there are (relatively speaking) a handful of Sikhs who surreptitiously drink on the QT, but rather (at the very least) a sizeable minority of Sikhs who openly drink in public settings without any sense of guilt or shame being attached to it. I’m afraid, therefore, that woman’s comments were wholly wrong and all too typical of someone harbouring strident religious views.YeahI know a few Muslim lads who are the same but for a "statesman" in a Gurdwara to be speaking like that? Just more evidence how he doesn't do detail and is a total embarrassment.
Your Georgism for the day "the plural of anecdote is not data"Its not the whole of Sikhism though, is it?

The notion that Johnson’s interaction with coke is limited to the farcical and fictional example he has provided is utterly absurd. Anyone who believes otherwise is naive beyond help. He has actually outdone Bill Clinton with his preposterous “I didn’t inhale” comment, and by some distance.I have an open mind. Your prejudice is evident.
Interesting insight into Johnson don’t you think?
I think I speak with more authority than most on drinking habits within society, George.Your Georgism for the day "the plural of anecdote is not data"
