Minions: The Fall of Boris

By Michael Shrimpton -July 10, 2022

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson finally resigned on Thursday, although he didn’t actually use the words ‘resign’ or ‘resignation’ in the short speech delivered outside Downing St.

The hysterically pro-EU BBC screamed the end of Brexit. In fact Boris’s departure heralds the end of the hated Northern Ireland Protocol and Withdrawal Agreement.

Boris will probably stay on as Prime Minister whilst a new leader of the Tory Party is chosen. He has only resigned as Tory leader, not as Prime Minister. There have been moves to prevent him staying on, effectively as a caretaker, but they appear to have failed. The 1922 Committee are cracking on with the election of the new leader as quickly as possible.

Boris can do a lot of damage between now and September of course, indeed the damage started almost straight away, with the appointment of the with respect useless Sir Mark Rowley QPM as Metropolitan Police Commissioner. (They would have been better off appointing his horse.) Should Boris get to choose Simon Case’s replacement as Cabinet Secretary he will no doubt choose another failure, no offense intended.

Attempts to recreate the disastrous 2016 coronation of Theresa May appear to be failing, thankfully. Pro-European Tory grandees engineered that, unhappy with the constitutional change implemented when William Hague was leader whereby the leader of the Party is chosen by Party members in a ballot. Former Chancellor Rishi Sunak, whose resignation on Tuesday, probably coordinated with that of Sajid Javid, triggered the fall of the Johnson government, was hoping for another coronation, but appears to have been frustrated.

Michael Shrimpton was a barrister from his call to the Bar in London in 1983 until being disbarred in 2019 over a fraudulently obtained conviction. He is a specialist in National Security and Constitutional Law, Strategic Intelligence and Counter-terrorism. He is a former Adjunct Professor of Intelligence Studies at the American Military University. Michael has been a regular to Hamilton Hall for a while and we always look forward to his visits as we know it is not going to be boring. I love a good conspiracy theory and I love a heated debate on an assortment of subjects and - well - anything that gets the gray cells motivated and thinking. Michael, like myself, is opinionated and knowledgeable and offers alternatives that may be hard to swallow, may be pure bullshit and may be the absolute truth, and it is up to you to figure it out for yourself - for as I say - BELIEVE NOTHING UNLESS IT RESONATES WITH YOU AS A TRUTH - and then DO NOT TAKE MY WORD, OR MICHAEL'S WORD - FOR ANYTHING - FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF.
