An Election Address by Boris Johns-On

by Toby Young
10 April 2021 1:01 PM

Paul Bird, a Lockdown Sceptics reader, imagines a letter he might get from Boris Johnson, listing all his achievements in the run up to the May 6th local elections. They include destroying thousands of businesses, plunging millions into unemployment, ratcheting up the national debt, etc. Here is Boris’s preamble, before he outlines all his ‘wins’:

At the election in December 2019, just 16 months ago, you weighed up the competing offers of the Conservative Party – sound economic policy, living within our means, reducing the burden of the state on the British people; and the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn – a creeping increase in state power, loss of freedoms, and unsustainable spending pushing up the national debt.

You overwhelmingly chose the former and handed a landslide victory to the Conservatives. I am immensely grateful to you for putting your trust in me to deliver on the promises we made.

With the local elections coming up in May I would urge you to consider this Conservative Government’s achievements since coming to power. I hope this impressive list will convince you to ‘Vote Conservative!’ in the election.

And here are some of Boris’s achievements:

  • Fundamentally modified the British Constitution to break the link between Parliament and the Executive. Removed all those famous but irritating ‘safeguards’ and ‘checks and balances’ on Government power.
  • Put the entire population into house arrest, including eight million in solitary confinement.
  • Severed the links between family members and between friends.
  • Closed down all social structures and cultural activity to prevent people from meeting and forming new relationships.
  • Overseen massive advances in social estrangement, requiring people to stay at least two metres apart from each other, and to cover up their faces. Inspired by the old Soviet states, we have encouraged neighbour to report on neighbour. New relationships between people are banned, as is all physical contact other than between those cohabiting at the time of Lockdown.
  • Deprived young people of over a year of any meaningful education.

The letter ends with a list of some of the historical figures that have inspired Boris in the last 12 months:

  • Xi Jin Ping for the restriction of movement of the entire population; for the requirement for explicit government permission for travel, entry to buildings, etc.
  • Giuseppe Conte for showing that a modern Western government (albeit of a country with a much smaller science base or record of democracy than the UK) can act like the Chinese Communist Party and get away with it
  • A certain German chap in the 1930s for the example of overriding all constitutional safeguards designed to prevent a modern democracy sliding into dictatorship; and for the enforced carrying of identity papers.
  • His PR guru – for relentless brainwashing via the broadcast and print media; for the mangling of statistics; for censorship of all non-approved material and the use of subliminal messaging to manufacture consent.
  • Dr Robert Mugabe and Nicolas Maduro on massive borrowing and money printing by the central bank.

Worth reading in full.

He’s going to be barred from standing in any future election, so this is irrelevant.

Quite so. As I said yesterday, what really worries me is what happens when someone competent, hard-working and dominating gets into his shoes. Inevitably, it is the very worst people, with zero empathy or care for others, who get to the top and, in an increasingly totalitarian world, that will include Hitlers and Stalins. Bad enough now, but we ain’t seen nothing yet!!

You seem to be suggesting that Johnson is harmless. Even if that were true he has cleared the ground, got rid of the Overton window and made it clear that anything is possible to dictator.

Killed far more people (+millions in the 3rd world) through lockdowns and making the NHS a Covid only ‘service’ for 9 months (as the sole government in the world), than were killed through and with Covid- a number which we increased significantly through our reckless policy of sending people from hospitals into nursing homes untested, and by censoring, diffamating, manipulating and withholding data on the cheap, effective, safe and available treatments for Covid and those treatments themselves, and, possibly, by coercing people en masse into getting only rushed gene therapies instead.
This was inspired by Leonardo Conti and Josef Mengele, of course.

Stats from the Care Quality Commission show 3 out of 5 deaths from Covid last year were disabled folk with illegal DNR’s slapped on them; can’t remember what percentage (high) of those were people with learning difficulties. Sounds pretty Mengele to me!

The crucial question, though, is when lockdowns return. The local elections 6 May, G7 11-13 June and then the big one, Mr Johnson’s wedding in July, mean that restrictions will be mainly dropped to accommodate the Govt’s real priorities. But after that? The ‘return’ of ‘flu, the Ruritanian variant and climate change targets will have us slammed down from next Oct, I believe.

I have wondered if Mr Johnson is fully aware of the nature of his fiancée, and is dragging this out due to dread of telling her that the wedding is off, and sod the rest of us.

No. I think the Azerbaijan variant is the really dangerous one to watch – but not until after the wedding, obviously.

Johnson has always had a reputation for fickleness and unreliability, but his transformation from fun-loving libertarian to joyless woke authoritarian is beyond parody. I’ll be voting for an anti-lockdown candidate in the forthcoming local elections; and if no such candidate is standing, I’ll simply spoil the ballot paper.

Never voting Tory again … I just might be persuaded to change my mind if Boris is removed and given a lengthy prison sentence along with his entire cabinet and then replaced with someone like Sir Charles Walker maybe … who seems to be genuine enough and share my concerns about the governments tyrannical response to covid19 and the removal of our freedoms and liberty in this country since March last year … the problem I have though is that I also trusted Boris Johnston once upon a time to be a guardian of our freedoms and liberties only for him to do a complete about turn and transform himself into a cross between Caroline Lucas and Pol Pot. That is my fear about voting for any Tory candidate again – they all seem to change their tune once they get into power drop their conservatism and become Blairites instead

If there is an anti-lockdown candidate in the area (Reclaim, Reform whatever) they will definitely get my vote otherwise my ballot paper gets spoiled.

Me too; been a Tory voter for 50 years but never ever again! Still have to pinch myself some mornings when I wake up to believe that a Tory Government had reduced us to that of a totalitarian police state.

I can trace my falling out with the conservative party to 1995 when John Redwood lost his leadership battle with John Major. Redwood’s always been a voice of sense and reason and he’s currently on the right side of this issue. Like you I will never vote for them again and regret lending them my vote this time around.

I enjoyed reading this but will correct you on a Constitutional point.

The Constitution is The English Constitution, most recently affirmed in The 1689 Bill of Rights. A British Constitution has NEVER existed. The English Constitution gives us inalienable Rights. Those Rights have been and continue to be subverted by The British State.

Johnson and his infandous cabal remind me of the Spitting Image’ sketch with Margaret Thatcher ordering. ‘What about the vegetables? They’ll have the same as me’.
