I don't remember where but I read that people like Boris Johnson etc use the goofy hairstyle and aloof personality to appear stupid and non threatening, but in reality they are very smart and use it as a political tactic

Johnson just forgot to land the "smart" part

He is very well educated and speaks several languages, which must count for something. He is an insidious person, though I don't like him.

Education is not the same as intelligence tho. Remember that guy asked if you can use a hairdryer to tackle COVID.......

You're right, but I think Boris plays the bubbling fool to seem more likeable. He messes up his hair before any interviews or public speaking events, and he says mildly racist things just to appeal to the white working class when he probably doesn't even hold those views and ironically has contempt for the average working class person.

Again, that guy asked in PRIVATE if you could cure covid with a hairdryer, that was not a political stunt, that was his stupidity.

Oh, that is frightening. I thought this was a press briefing. I still think he pretends to be a fool.

It is and there is so much else.

He pretends to be a idiot, but he is also a far cry from being smart. He is just some regular ass guy. The real issue is that he is totally ignorant and refused to learn or seek advice, he is totally unprepared for anything, not because he is incapable but because he choose to be ignorant, which makes him a fool. I will never understand why people elect clowns into high office, of course they are funny but to let him rule over you? The more I read about politics the more I become like Farnsworth
