“Last month, I gave you the benefit of the doubt. But I came to the conclusion that the problem came from the top. (…) Enough is enough!
“On July 6 in the House of Commons, the Minister of Health Sajid Javid carried the blow to Boris Johnson, forced in the process to resign.
This follows a pitiful case of sexual assault committed by an MP and friend of the Prime Minister.
How did 'BoJo' come to this after three years in Downing Street?
It is to this question that the unpublished documentary,
Boris Johnson: the party is over
, directed by our colleague from
Le Figaro
, former correspondent in London, Florentin Collomp, associated with Walid Berrissoul, provides answers.
The two authors had already signed a first film on BoJo almost two years ago,
"The Brexit Illusionist"
.
They now complete their remarks by offering a striking new perspective, like an initial assessment, of the career of the one who will undoubtedly remain as the most controversial of the heads of government in the United Kingdom.
Supply issues
Over the course of numerous testimonies from Britons, especially those who were initially favorable to Boris Johnson, the personality of the son of a family educated at Eton shows its limits.
Of course his charming side, close to people, allowed him to become mayor of London in 2008 and then to be re-elected, which was considered a real achievement by the Conservative Party.
But behind his ardor and his bursts of laughter which seduced popular circles, to the point of propelling him to Downing Street, appears a disappointing man.
Whose way of governing reveals a total absence of strategic vision.
Thus, more than two years after the Brexit agreement signed by "BoJo", many are disappointed.
Like Aaron Hicks, owner of a pub affected by supply problems.
“
I voted for Brexit, but now I have to adapt my menus according to the products available
,” he explains.
As for the journalist of the
Spectator
, Toby Young, he confides: “
Boris Johnson showed no strategic vision, it is one of the reasons which explains why he was disappointing as Prime Minister.
As if he didn't know what he really wanted to do
."
cronies
Beyond the economic difficulties, it is also the practice of the power of “BoJo”, made up of cronyisms and dismissals of the elevator which shocks.
Like this case of lavish spending to renovate the private apartments of the Prime Minister, settled by a wealthy member of the Conservative Party in return for consideration.
But it will be the “Partygate”, on the parties organized in Downing Street, in particular at Christmas 2020, in full confinement, which will mark the beginning of the end.
Pitiful as a head of government has never been, we look with amazement at the images showing him apologizing in front of the deputies, to boos.
Still, there is a good point for Boris, which his sister Rachel points out: “
He was the first European leader to support Volodymyr Zelensky and to give a lot of money to Ukraine.
