BoJo banished - Liz Truss down. Is Rishi next for the toaster? **threadbans in OP**

She didn't get a peerage, just an OBE - basically a medal and an honourific title after her name (JK Rowling, David Beckham loads of others have this too).

So just a reward for long standing service to the Parliament but no actual power to it.

The real appointment that is questionable and possibly very juicy is the appointment of Charlotte Owen - Johnson's 29 year old aide for 18 months to a lifetime peerage. There's a lot of online chatter and speculation that she is daughter to Allegra Mostyn-Owen, Johnson's 1st wife and possibly one of Johnson's own children that he never talks about

The whole entity of Boris is deplorable

So the entity, not the man himself.

But if you could have a go at answering the question I asked without mentioning Trump or the fact that you think he is the second most famous politician.

I’m blessed in that I can observe him and read about him with no feelings one way or the other.

Hang one, I thought you absolutely detested adulterers?

Why is Bojo slipping under that rather fortified moral radar?

The argument I believe he's trying to make

She is trying to make.

She absolutely detests adultery, Boris is a a serial adultery.

But.

I’m blessed in that I can observe him and read about him with no feelings one way or the other.

So the point I am trying to make is in assessing Bojo the usual iron clad morality meter has been set to off.

Why is that?

I didn't agree with everything Boris did or said. Some things yes, other things no

Have you examples of your disagreement on this thread?

A kings scholar not necessarily a paid scholarship to Eton though is it

Historically a Foundation Scholarship used to provide full and unconditional waiver of all the school fees, but since the 1960s the scholarship has been increasingly subjected to means testing. As of 2021 a scholarship does not affect the size of fees. However part or all of the fees may be waived, dependent on financial circumstances.

At Eton he was as entitled as ever:

Martin Hammond, who was Johnson’s housemaster and taught him classics, spotted early on that the prime minister showcased a certain irresponsibility and inattention to facts.

Writing of him in a school report in April 1982, he said: “Boris really has adopted a disgracefully cavalier attitude to his classical studies . . . Boris sometimes seems affronted when criticised for what amounts to a gross failure of responsibility (and surprised at the same time that he was not appointed Captain of the School for next half): I think he honestly believes that it is churlish of us not to regard him as an exception, one who should be free of the network of obligation which binds everyone else.”

Apparently Johnson's supposed passion for the classics, literature and history, is largely put on, along with virtually everything else about the man, or at least heavily amped up for public consumption.
