Boris elevates two offensive East Indians
The great democracy of the United Kingdom of Great Britain has become an amusing country to the rest of the world, just as the US is seen under Trump. How can any political party choose Boris Johnson to lead it and to allow him to become the Prime Minister of its country? But that is what the Conservative Party in the UK has done.

Boris Johnson is a detestable right-wing autocrat who has no right and should not be given the right to lead a superb democracy like the UK. But there is hope. That there is hope in the US was shown when the Democrats won the House of Representatives in mid-term elections. From those elections, we will see the climax of the presidential defeat of Trump and his Republicans in the Senate by the Democrats in national elections next year.
There is hope in the UK. It started when the Lib-Dem party voted for a progressive woman, Jo Swinson, as its leader. It will be followed by a general election in which Johnson’s tenure will end in ignominy. I believe the UK under Johnson will crash out of the EU, leaving the increasing prospect that Scotland will pull out of the UK, ending the long reign of a united Britain.
An election will be the only option for the British people. My thinking on the results is that Labour will have to seek accommodation with the Scottish party in Parliament and Swinson to form the government. The world will then see the end of Johnson.
How in heaven’s name can the UK folks tolerate a man like Johnson? The only positive thing I have ever seen in Johnson is the belief I share with him that you don’t need to go to a barber. You can fix your hair yourself and go about living your life.
Boris Johnson is a despicable politician who is racist, anti-Muslim, anti-poor, pro-business. He has no scruples about doing what is necessary for the furtherance of his own ambitions.
Johnson and the Brexiteers lied to the people of the UK about the benefits of leaving the UK. It was one of the biggest con games in politics since the Roman Empire. What the UK citizens voted for in agreeing to leave the UK was not what they will get when the UK leaves the EU.
Johnson will take Britain out of the EU in October, but a replacement government will take the UK back in. Jeremy Corbyn is no fool. He knows the UK out of the EU is fuel for the fire of Scottish nationalism. Corbyn will not risk the breakup of Britain.
There are two names that Johnson has elevated as Ministers. Both were chosen by former PM, Theresa May. Both are East Indians with repugnant views of non-white people. This man and this woman are anti-immigrant, even though they came to the UK as impoverished souls looking for a place in the sun (just a way of speaking; the UK rarely sees sun).
The first is Sajid Javid. How can someone from that background find himself in a white, Anglo-Saxon, racist party? It is said that when Javid’s parents arrived in London, all the money his father had on him was a few British pounds.
It is interesting to note that Javid took a job with an American bank, because he said British bankers didn’t feel someone with his colour should aim high in his ambitions. Sajid Javid is the same man who as Home Secretary (in Guyana, he would be Home Affairs Minister) wanted to keep immigrants out of the UK.
Then there is this obnoxious woman, Priti Patel, who frowns on non-white immigrants. Her parents fled to the UK after Uganda expelled East Indian businesses. She is pro-Israel with no public declaration for sympathy of the Palestinian people. She once advocated that Britain scrap its aid programme to the Third World. How ironic that she was interested in aid to Israel, which has a higher GDP and GNP than most Third World countries that the UK offers aid to.
Theresa May sacked her as a junior minister after May found out she lied to her on an unauthorised trip to Israel. Patel has succeeded Javid as Home Secretary. No doubt immigrants will feel the heat of her dislike for them. These are the kinds of people Johnson put in his Cabinet. It makes sense, because they are all flawed politicians like Johnson himself.
The developed world likes to run down poor Third World states, but look at the type of leaders that govern the UK and the US at the moment – Boris Johnson and Donald Trump.
