Unfortunate use of the word “loaded” there. And, to no surprise, it didn’t happen: Greg Hands was chosen instead. It was only the latest in a long line of Tel promotion pieces, following on from the equally ridiculous claim from Christopher “No” Hope last July that Bozo was tipped to lead NATO.
Except that Bozo has taken this non-starter on board, to the extent that he has been prepared to tell the world that he is a candidate to succeed Jens Stoltenberg when the latter steps down later this year. To this end, Johnson told an interviewer from Ukraine the news that no-one with brain plugged in and a hole in their jacksy wants to hear. He was a serious candidate.
“Heading NATO? That's a great idea. You know, it is a very good idea. I want to emphasise, dear friends, that I have this idea, and let no one forget that there is a candidate [for NATO Secretary General] on the line. This time, I think I will be lucky”. But, it was put to him, former Italian PM Mario Draghi had said that someone from an EU member state should get the job.
“I completely disagree with him. I think there are other candidates outside the European Union. It doesn't have to be the EU. I certainly consider myself a candidate. It is a good and important position … And we see quite clearly that Ukrainian membership is a prospect. It has to happen … Putin has debunked all the arguments against Ukraine's accession to NATO. Now they are gone”.
But this time, the Tel, and indeed the rest of our free and fearless press, are keeping schtum about the idea. They have good reason to be so. Because, whatever Bozo may think about his chances, his ability to talk well, but lie badly, would disqualify him. And that would be before the questions over whether he was a security risk, or even a potential Russian asset.
“So, Boris goes to Bunga Bunga parties in Italy. Who gives a damn? I don’t. But, and here’s the rub, MI6 did. What concerned them was not what Boris was doing, but where he was doing it - the Russian Mountain. I have two sources who have told me that MI6 was worried that Boris Johnson, when he was Foreign Secretary, was a security risk”. And more.
“And there’s another thing. On at least one occasion that we know about when Boris Johnson came to Italy, he left his Metropolitan Police protection team back in England … This story has been reported by the BBC and the Sunday Times this summer. The newspaper even quoted a cabinet minister, saying that Boris Johnson, because of his private life, was open to blackmail.”
Do go on. “Then Boris Johnson becomes Prime Minister, and silence falls”. Since then, Lebedev has been ennobled - by Bozo. His father Alexander was an officer in the KGB. Except, as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a former KGB officer. What did Bozo let slip at those parties? Do the Lebedevs, and therefore Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, have Kompromat on him?
Every NATO member state has a veto on the appointment of a Secretary General, the opportunity to slip the black ball into the bag, rather than the white one. If Bozo were to push his luck and really try and go for the job, he might find rather a lot of black balls had been pitched against him.
How will his press pals report that onset of reality? Get the popcorn in.

In any sensible country, Johnson would be unemployable.
Throughout his entire political career, Johnson has repeatedly proved to be a costly single point of failure.
PS: Anyone want to buy an airport in the Thames estuary?
Makes perfect far right sense for far right Bozo to head a far right military group led by the far right Pentagon at the centre of the far right US government and its far right Empire.
So where's the beef.......or the turnips.....
Read this, Anonymous, and you'll perhaps begin to understand that calling everyone you don't like 'far-right' or 'fascist' means you've used up all your juvenile insults wastefully and have got nothing else to call them when the real fascists come along.

Bozo For Pluto - That’s A Oh-Yo
That's pure rot Bertie.
Straight out of the Baddiel playback buy without a book to plug.
Disappointed.
That's impure unintelligibility, me old playwright.
Please take the trouble to punctuate it (you know, vocative comma, hyphens, that sort of thing), then resubmit.
No rush.
Bertie, your comment doesn't make any sense.
I check in on Zelo whilst I am writing. There will be a few errors, but as long as they don't sneak in to my actual work, I'll take the criticism on the chin.
After all, my success speaks for itself at this point. I can put my name to my work at least.
How about you?

No point to it, me old Micawber.
the Graun isn't worth the proverbial carrot or turnip.
It smacks of a retired failed supply teacher resident in Fawlty Towers.
Tsk tsk. Must try harder. 1/10.😂
What can I say except Wildean as ever, me old Anonymous Clog-dancer.
But your little yellow-faced chums always seem to relish the bon-ness of your mots, which must be a comfort.
@14:14.
No, NO, that won't do, me old Micawber.
Far too, well, suburban curtain-twitching weird in a Daily Heil/Phil the Greek sort of way. Not enough Laura Ashley chintz.😂
