There is definitely a sense of 'lets get Boris Johnson' right now. I've notice a sly movement going on to discredit him. Someone doesn't want him to be the next Prime Minister.
I have to be honest. Boris hasn't been my first choice for Prime Minister as he has ended up with a reputation for being a buffoon, but recently he seems to have shown a different side to his usual clowning around character. He reminds me of Donald Trump a bit. Puts his foot in it, speaks before he appears to think, and seems to get caught on camera in the most unlikely of poses and positions. He also has charisma, is popular with a lot of people and strongly believes in this country. Like I said, a bit like Donald Trump is to America.
The reason why I say someone is gunning for Boris Johnson, is the amount of recent anti Boris media news articles since he announced he is standing for Prime Minister. Take today for example. Donald Trump has recently tweeted his support for Boris. So what have the anti Brexit Led by Donkeys campaigners done? They have projected a video of Boris Johnson criticising Donald Trump in 2015 on to Big Ben. It is huge! Now let's get this straight. It's clearly a sabotage campaign. Considering Donald Trump and Boris Johnson's recent mutual admiration the video will be an embarrassment. Boris Johnson will also look a bit of an idiot to those who support his stand to be Prime Minister. I always say that you should be careful what you speak, tweet or post out in to the public domain. If it is derogatory it will come back to bite you in the bum (to coin a phrase) at the worst possible moment. So it was silly of Boris to say what many people were thinking, after all he is a well known public figure. But it also was four years ago and people are allowed to change their minds about a person. Boris Johnson and Donald Trump have met, and maybe they actually got on?
So you could say the video is a nasty piece of work, or you could say it's all fair in love and war. To me it's a bit of both. The video is a real dig at someone who has stated exactly where he stands with regard to Brexit, and who wants a future trade deal with America. But as I have said, if you are in the public arena you need to watch what you say. Maybe Boris Johnson is like Donald Trump who doesn't seem to care a fig about what anyone says about him if it's negative? To be honest if everyone with such a public profile read everything that they considered horrible about them it would soon start to have a negative effect. So I would say that the best thing to do is ignore the bad and stick to the good. You may be under a false illusion about how great you are, but you certainly wont be depressed or get a complex!
I haven't seen much negative press about the other candidates who put themselves forward for Prime Minister, but maybe I've been reading the wrong newspapers or social media pages? Then again it does seem like Boris Johnson has become a target at the moment. That means one of two things. Either he is in with a real chance of becoming Prime Minister and therefore a big threat to some people, or some people just don't like him! Wonder which it is?
