Is Boris incompetent?
Jump to: Newest in thread
It's almost a pointless question because I don't think he's even trying to be a good prime minister for the country. Can you be incompetent at something you're not really trying to achieve?
He just wants to be important and rich and shag around.

He is surrounded by an incompetent cabinet and he says things without thinking about weather it can be done.
If you look at the world he is the same as many other leaders.
Boris is gutless and is not firing the idiots around him.
He is poor very poor and could do a lot better but incompetent is not the right word for me |

Yes
His one skill is bullshitting stupid people. Three word slogans dictate our society.
What happened to the brain of the average person? Have they all gone on holiday?
The guy is false beyond description and when you scrutinise yes he is incompetent. |

He was best of bad bunch when voted Prime Minister. Even I would have won election against Corbyn.. He walked into a fire with Brexit and is now in middle of the Tsunami that came after it. Doing as well as can be expected. Its not the Governments fault we goong back into localise lockdown its the members of the public who have no common sense. |

He’s good at bullshitting.
Not a good liar as he keeps getting caught.
Can’t count as not sure how many children.
He’s good at getting an argument of pro Brexit across to people who have little knowledge of the impact ( Cameron to blame here) but to then not actually have an actual plan. That’s incompetent.
A low tax, high tech off shore country likened to Taiwan or Singapore is what’s being pushed. Ask the low paid of both countries how that’s working out. The rich seem to be doing just dandy thanks ( James Dyson being one)
Anyone see a pattern here.

Locking down earlier would have helped - that’s the government.
Different rules in each region Wales Scotland England NI should be the same. The government needs to address that but no effort there.
Lack of PPE . The home office were warned about the lack of kit two years before and did nothing . That’s the government.
Strange how when we didn’t have masked they weren’t needed. Now we’ve got a supply they are mandatory. The advice was there but subdued .
Government action much earlier would have resulted in the stupid public not being such a great risk.
The government is shocking.
How was Boris allowed to get that top job. Oh yes hedge fund and Russian backing to become leader and therefore prime minister..
The Brexit fiasco and Corbyn not understanding the consequences of an early election has resulted
in this country being handed over to be run by a corrupt leader and supported by a legion of yes men that is just too shocking to believe is real.

He's successful by his own measure. He's got a good control over the media, has people voting for him regardless of his much open distain he shows for normal folk and he can freely implement policies that benefit himself and his Eton buddies.
He's made the most of the Covid situation as a smoke screen for causing the most beneficial version of brexit for himself and his mates.
So I would suggest he's not incompetent. |

Can you only be incompetent, if you're trying and failing?
What about if you don't care, and don't try? |

A fair point.
OK here's a thing he's plainly incompetent at despite trying: PMQs. |

Completely disagree with countries in the uk should be following the same rules. Scotland was a couple of weeks behind England. Therefore , coming out of lockdown at the same time would have been stupid. Infact, what we saw in England was coming out of lockdown when London rates had dropped leaving other areas of the uk with higher rates and look where we are now..
We didn't need masks back at the start for the same reason we don't wear masks for flu. However, as time went by we understood that covid is often asymptomatic and therefore people with covid could unknowingly spread whilst out and about. |

I hope the reason for his performance is that he’s just incompetent, because the alternative reason for some of the decisions his party have made is far more terrifying.
Corbyn would have been a poor prime minister, but he earned my vote because I guessed that Johnson would turn out to be every bit as appalling as he has. (Well, that and the fact that I loathe the tories with every fibre of my being).

I didn’t make it clear admittedly but my point regarding restrictions on groups needs to be uniform
The mixed messages are leading to confusion but more worryingly apathy. Ultimately people will ignore them.
We don’t wear masks for flu due to a certain level of immunity in society. Yes I mean flu not colds.
There were no masks available for staff both in hospitals and care homes, along with aprons gloves etc. Hospital workers probably died as a result.
The guidance stated masks would probably help but at the time we weren’t sure, I agree.
It was played down at the time and whilst I have no proof I suspect it was to avoid panic buying and draining the poor supplies the NHS were scrambling to secure.
The government counted buckets and mops as PPE supplied. Utter lies.

Needs to wise up and quick. Anyone see the college media visit yesterday? Totally wrong on all covid procedures.
Here's a tip for free. When you announce restrictions, make sure you hand out a briefing paper at the same time. No confusion then.

What was interesting to about that for me was I heard Gillian Keegan on R4 in the morning who also had no idea, it seems someone decided not to firm up the position with Boris who his aides must have known would be asked the same question..
Or did he think he knew.. |

There is a thought that by keeping the relevant people in the dark, then it will make you look better.
That worked out well! |

It's hardly a revelation given his track record over 10 or more years
The sad thing is that he was elected by people that knew this. |

Abbott isnt a front bench mp.
By all accounts she is a very popular local mp and works very hard for her constituents.
Rees mogg wouldnt piss on working people if they were on fire.
Grayling has given new meaning to the word incompetence.
And Patel would deport her own family to got approval from the daily mail

No he is great in dropping meaningless soundbites and in impersonating a comedian. He is incompetent as a politician and not really good as a journalist. I would hire him as a court jester if he was funny.  |

Since the terms of your question allow for no nuance at all; I'll have to go with yes - on the assumption you mean in relation to doing his job. |

The fact that he gets completely destroyed by Starmer at PMQ every week isn't really confidence inspiring.
Hopefully he's gone before Christmas and we don't get to see him celebrate his one and only objective of 'getting it done"

He was best of bad bunch when voted Prime Minister. Even I would have won election against Corbyn.. He walked into a fire with Brexit and is now in middle of the Tsunami that came after it. Doing as well as can be expected. Its not the Governments fault we goong back into localise lockdown its the members of the public who have no common sense.
Locking down earlier would have helped - that’s the government.
Different rules in each region Wales Scotland England NI should be the same. The government needs to address that but no effort there.
Lack of PPE . The home office were warned about the lack of kit two years before and did nothing . That’s the government.
Strange how when we didn’t have masked they weren’t needed. Now we’ve got a supply they are mandatory. The advice was there but subdued .
Government action much earlier would have resulted in the stupid public not being such a great risk.
The government is shocking.
How was Boris allowed to get that top job. Oh yes hedge fund and Russian backing to become leader and therefore prime minister..
The Brexit fiasco and Corbyn not understanding the consequences of an early election has resulted
in this country being handed over to be run by a corrupt leader and supported by a legion of yes men that is just too shocking to believe is real.
Completely disagree with countries in the uk should be following the same rules. Scotland was a couple of weeks behind England. Therefore , coming out of lockdown at the same time would have been stupid. Infact, what we saw in England was coming out of lockdown when London rates had dropped leaving other areas of the uk with higher rates and look where we are now..

Hmm.
Except Covid is *slightly* more contagious, and(cough cough) *slightly* more likely to kill someone or fuck their pulmonary or other health up for god knkws how long. |

Him getting the restrictions wrong for the north East  when asked. Even though he's PM.. then coming out the next day and stating that the rules/restrictions weren't confusing.

"I've found one poster who does think he's competent! Plus one hedging it by saying he's competent at being incompetent (or something).
The nos have it!

I think a lot of people are embarrassed. |

Bloody ought to be!
Evidence had been there all along.
And if you're Tory, then they could have picked someone who at least goes through the pretence of TRYING to look and be effective in their job.
But no, let's pick Boris as he's got a glint in his eye, is funny, and is 'one of us' (I quote some naive/idiotic person on here from a few months ago).
Carry on o infantilising of world politics.. |

as a pm who is supposed to look after the country well obviously no, hes hopeless. but in doing the job he was supposed to do hes doing brilliantly. theres other people and groups we should perhaps be more concerned about though, boris is only a small part. mathew elliot, shankar singham, 55 tufton street, the CATO organisation to name but a few having big impacts on us at the mo. |

Is Johnson incompetent? I don’t even understand how the question can be asked? The guy is utterly useless. I didn’t expect him to be any better to be honest but for a lot people coming up with two sentences in Latin and bullshit stuff to make his way to the top was enough to get their vote. The guy hasn’t done anything remotely successful in his life. |

"Lets be honest he is the same as most politicians of all parties the only positive is that he is more passionate in his delivery. "
Do you mean he sounds more convincing and more credible when he lies? Lying and bullshiting louder and more passionately is the way then. |

"No
He was best of bad bunch when voted Prime Minister. Even I would have won election against Corbyn.. He walked into a fire with Brexit and is now in middle of the Tsunami that came after it. Doing as well as can be expected. Its not the Governments fault we goong back into localise lockdown its the members of the public who have no common sense."

He's started talking like a socialist - he wants the country to change for the better; and not go back to the way things were.
In the eyes of most Tories, that's enough to make him incompetent.
They needn't worry, though. He's a lying cunt, so he doesn't mean a word of it.
Even if he did, they'd get rid of him and choose a leader more towards the Farage end of the spectrum.
It's what they've become - in order to please 'Little England'. |

He doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks. They have such a tight grip on the media and they know people will keep voting for them no matter how badly they fuck them. |

An 80 seat majority on election day is the only evidence we need as to how competent he is. The stock market rising substantially ( prior to Covid 19 ) is further indication of confidence in both him and his government . He has successfully steered the ship through some very stormy waters during Covid 19 ( maybe some decisions would have been different with the benefit of hindsight but we can ignore those whose only attribute is to criticise and get things right after the event ).
The only judgement day that will matter is the next general election and hopefully by then the economy will be back on track.
Opinions that count most are not of those who shout loudest and constantly criticise. The silent majority will cast their opinion on election day and hopefully the 2019 electiion success will be repeated with an even larger majority |

Thinking he can do the job and him being able to the job are two completely different things. The election just shows that he can talk a good game. The problem is he can't back it up!
The stock market rising was simply a reflection of a majority government finally in power as opposed to the constant tussling between warring factions in 2016 to 2019. They could have given a monkey the keys to No10 with that majority and the City would be happy.
Also, the amount of U-turns this government has made shows that "successfully steering the ship" is a rose tinted assessment of the government's handling of this pandemic. Johnson's lack of decisive action meant the UK was playing catch up to every issue this crisis has laid out and his cabinet (with the noted exception of Sunak) have underperformed in their designated tasks.

Interesting that you choose a rising stock market to show his competence and not say... the rising use of food banks or the growing disparity between rich and poor. |

The guy has to do something.
If he calls a lockdown he gets lambasted.
If he doesnt he gets lambasted.
If people die he gets lambasted.
If people cant work he gets lambasted.
He is walking the line of economy vs lives. He can isolate everyone and the virus dies away. The economy also dies and with it the thin veneer of civilisation we like to cling to.
If no one isolates the economy survives but loads die.
It is a balance ofkeeping people alive without going back yo bartering rabbits for milk.
Yes he is making mistakes, and hindsight is showing that but someone has to do the job and i dont envy him it.
I dont agree with all his decisions but we have to do something and he has got that job.

We were given the choice back in Dec 2019 between the village idiot and another village idiot. It's the same in America As they have the hobsons choice of 1 dementia suffering septuagenarian and another doddering septuagenarian. It looks to me as if sane people no longer want to do the job and leave it to any old sod that comes along nowadays. No wonder we are in such a mess. |

The City is not happy because now the reality kicked in. Johnson has no vision. All he wanted was the power but there's no identity to his premiership. |

who has time to watch PMQ, too busy working
Fair play. Sounds like you do more work than Johnson.
it's all the civil servants that do the work, Mr Johnson just has to stand up and speak
Is that all the PM has to do? Gosh. Shame he's incompetent even at that. Where's the proof, you say? PMQs, as already stated. And here's another one. He fucked up when explaining his own rules about the rule of 6.
love it how I can dangle a bit of bait and loads start getting their knickers in a twist! "

I bet he has endless nights without sleep worrying what all the experts on fab think if him!
Lol
Exactly.
He doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks. They have such a tight grip on the media and they know people will keep voting for them no matter how badly they fuck them. "
Tight grip on the media?
What media are you seeing?
I’ve only ever seen anti Tory/Boris/Govt views on everything mainstream
And him not giving a fuck (as you so eloquently put it) is his his best feature for me lol
I know who I would enjoy a few drinks with

I was seeing the mainstream newspapers, BBC, itv, sky, channel four. All of which treated the Tories favourably during the last election.
And you're perfectly entitled to like a PM who openly has contempt for the people he's supposed to be working on behalf of. No kink shaming here.
But if more people did care, maybe the country wouldn't be in the relatively poor shape it's in now.
I'm wouldn't argue he's not a fun person to be friends with (assuming you're wealthy and/or went to Eton). And I remember when he was on HIGNFY. He was genuinely funny. |

They boycott the only TV sources that question them. The Guardian and Mirror are the only newspapers that dissent. What news sources are you seeing?
And I want competence from a government, not company down the pub. |

Yes, because not giving a fuck is exactly what you want in a Prime Minister |

Great quote from Boris regarding the Queen’s Birthday bash:
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the recipients of this year's honours were "a testament to the sort of country we are - caring, compassionate and resolute in the face of a global pandemic".

Boris is an expert at keeping a straight face when talking crap and when lying. However, it’s reassuring to hear that the Tories know that being compassionate and caring is what we should be aiming for. It’s just a shame that every Tory prime minister does the complete opposite.

"Yes, but then he is acting on the advice he is given, so that makes them incompetent. And all of them are self serving. "
But he’s not, which is becoming increasingly clear. |

"Brexit and Covid this year... who needs that when your salary is a fraction of the BBC 's luvvies salaries...could the opposition do better..dream on."
The answer is almost certainly yes but please keep getting angry at the BBC rather than the government which is orchestrating this historic fuck up. |

Absolutely, and this government still could, by delaying Brexit until we have recovered from this pandemic so we don’t have a massive double hit to the economy. |

This..
The absolute common sense approach would have been to put Brexit on hold given the massive economic hit this virus has and will bring ..

Seeing as we're talking about Boris being incompetent.
He's actually competently using Covid to keep Brexit out of the news as he tries to force through the version of no deal/shit deal, that's most beneficial to himself. Meanwhile has a ready made excuse/distraction for all the shit Brexit is causing. |

That’s a fair point, very well made. I suppose that Boris is very competent at being incredibly self serving but not so much at the whole doing what’s best for the country thing, that goes along with being PM. |

I honestly don't think he puts any effort into doing what's best for the country.
He puts in the bare minimum. Meanwhile spends a lot of time and energy giving out lucrative government contracts to his friends and family. Etc.
So asking if he is incompetent is a difficult question to answer. As he's not trying to be. |
