      Oliver's description of Johnson includes that he has no consistency in his principles. Then you leftists compare Graham in the same fashion. Graham has been incredibly steadfast in his "principles", almost never changing his stance on any issue throughout his career, unlike the modern day American Left wing leaders. Are there any Conservatives that you would not slander as far Right?

      @@markmention966 Lindsey's been consistent? You mean like when he said, "My party has gone nuts.. Donald Trump doesn't have the temperament to be Commander-in-Chief." And now is his lapdog. Or like when he said Trump "better leave Jeff Sessions where he is." And now, doesn't seem to be bothered by how Trump treated Sessions. Or like him saying how much he valued JohncCain, then sucking up to Trump after Trump has repeatedly besmirched McCain after death. Or like when he was demanding they impeach Bill Clinton to "cleanse the office, and restore dignity to the presidency," but now is all for the worst, most immoral president in the history of our country. But that's interesting that you think he's stuck to his principles. You should probably go to South Carolina and tell some of them. Seeing as how in March, outside of his office in Columbia, SC, protestors gathered, literally spelling "Release the Mueller Report" in flip-flops one the ground! The official hashtags were for "Graham to stop #Flip-flopping and #ReleasetheMuelerReport." Since at the time it was being delayed. They actually brought a ton of flip-flops to the protest! Maybe you can tell them how Lindsey has stuck to his values. Sorry to wreck your fantasy about Ol Lindsey.

      People think Johnson is clever because he reels off quotes in Latin and Greek. I studied Latin too. I can also quote Kafka in the original German.
      That does not mean I am clever. I think I am average intelligence but with a good memory of my A level studies.

His nonchalant use of 'first cognizant (self-aware) thought', and ' he can really contain all feelings about anything and just calcify them into a diamond', encapsulates this.

    The difference between Boris and Trump is that Boris has a dumb/eccentric persona, but is smarter than people realise, and has a way with people. He has managed to avoid getting backstabbed, and while he is being laughed at he (1) became the first conservative lord mayor of London and then (2) became Prime Minister.
    Trump however, isn't pretending to be dumb, he actually is.

      What about the fact he CONSTANTLY LIES.
      If these dont seem dumb then how about this:
      He constantly admits that his views are shaped by the television.
      He constantly states that all news media that doesnt praise him is wrong.
      He held back bills that were popular at the time to pass Bill's that werent (the wall) and shut down the entire government.

      @graham buckley you are mistaken, the 70% number is the TURNOUT (amount of brits voting compared to the population). The actual results were 51.9% leave and 48.1% remain. So very very close knit, and had the british population known more about the consequences of leaving together with the lies that Boris Johnson spouted both during and even 20 YEARS before the vote actually happened. It would have completely changed the results toward a more substantial remain amount.

      Alison Smith The awful thing is that right now, Labour aren’t much better, if at all. So what’s the alternative? Gah, politics is depressing as hell right now.

      @@Cailus3542 Totally right, it's depressing, and God help us if swivel eyed Farage ever enters Parliament, we might as well all just give up with his evil sidekick Widdecombe and his band of merry little Englanders.

      Alison Smith If Farage or his ilk ever enter government, the country is well and truly doomed. Short of an intervention by Prince Charles when he becomes King, we might as well say farewell to what was once a great nation.

    ok just putting aside the subect of the emission for one second to focus on this : John Oliver and Stephen Colbert are absolutely funny and hilarious in their respective shows. but together it's a f***ing combo. i was laughing so hard at some part I fell from my chair.

    When John and Stephen talk, it's like watching watching Greek gods chat about the state of the world.

    Trump and Johnson are not the same. Trump was born into a privileged existence in Queens, while Johnson was born into a privileged existence in Manhattan.

    when Liverpool pulled the rug out from under Barca in the semi-final my first thought was, "I wonder if John Oliver still has a mind because this game probably broke it."
