Boris won London twice for the same reasons he won an 80-seat majority in December.
And I really don't need to disparage the left-wing when they do such a good job of it themselves . This week they're tearing themselves apart in public over internal Labour politics when hundreds of people are dying ever day from C-19.
They really are clueless.
You haven't mentioned Labour at all in this thread, and nor did I. What weird thing are you going to claim next so you don't lose this tiny unimportant argument over other people's opinions? Or are you going to go off on another tangent to make yourself seem correct in some other way that is more fallacious?

You're quite right - it was in another thread.
But Labour and the left-wing have been part of the discussions in this thread and my point remains the same.
You're welcome to disagree with it.

Hence their hatred of Boris for making it look easy.
Boris has his faults and that, to a large degree, accounts for his popularity.
He's also likeable,self-deprecating and good fun.
But he's also extremely ambitious and that's the greatest sin of all amongst the bitter and self-loathing left wing.



It seems that nearly dying is good for business.

Labour are left wing, Labourites lapped it up because Blair dished the money out. People voted for Blair because they were suckered in by his verbal diarrhea. Blair could talk the talk and Labourites are historically the less educated of British society.

He was full of guff and did little on basic things like tax, pensions,m etc. They only started coming about along with increased empoyment in 2010 with the shared government and became regular.
