Boris Johnson

The Prime Minister of Britain, Boris Johnson, has been stating and doing things that are causing racial division and xenophobia to sprout up in the United Kingdom. Johnson is doing real damage, some of which will be permanent and irreparable. The United Kingdom consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales. Britain has a tumultuous past regarding race issues and xenophobia. However, the nation had progressed in modern times.

Britain had become far more harmonious in modern times. That is up until 2016 when verbose, loquacious Boris Johnson, who was then Mayor of London, began pushing Brexit (Britain’s exit from the lucrative and prosperous European Union, which is a bloc containing 500,000,000 people).

Johnson and others such as politician Nigel Farage (a far right, racist politician who wants all blacks, minorities and immigrants thrown out of the UK), became the face of Brexit. Johnson and Farage campaigned heavily for Brexit. Reports indicate Russian funds were used in the Brexit campaign. Johnson made deceitful claims in the lead up to the referendum vote, in order to turn the British people against the European Union.

The Brexit vote was taken on June 2, 2016. Under Johnson and Farage’s lies, Britain voted to leave the European Union, wrongly believing they were being taken advantage of by the EU. Brexit was finalized January 31, 2020 by Johnson. However, the negotiations still continue and are expected to run on for another year. Johnson is already messing up the negotiations with the EU and has also imperiled the potential trade deal with America, which I predicted in advance would happen: Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson Is Failing At Negotiating Trade Deals With The European Union And America.

Johnson and Farage, as well as others, such as former Prime Minister, Theresa May, and politician Jacob Rees-Mogg, have been stating terrible things about minorities and immigrants. It has created a deliberate air of hostility in Britain, known as May's lasting "hostile environment." It has not been without consequences.

Johnson has slurred blacks, Muslims, immigrants and gays, in conduct that has inspired the far right to attack the aforementioned groups with a confidence and arrogance not seen many several decades. An official report states in 2016 hate crimes in Britain soared by 41%, due to the Brexit vote. In 2017, reports indicated hate crimes in Britain were at “record levels.“ In 2019, police reported hate crimes had gone up by 10% in Britain.

Immigrants and descendants of immigrants in Britain have been physically attacked in acts of racism and xenophobia. This month, a black bartender was attacked by six white men in the Duke of Wellington pub in London, England. Unprovoked they began racially abusing the black bartender. Then, they physically beat him and stole his jewelry. The incident has sparked protests, as such behavior was not commonplace in modern Britain. However, Boris and his far right supporters caused this misconduct. He did not deserve to be attacked and or robbed.

In 2016, a 15-year-old, far right, white British boy attacked and punched Polish immigrant Arkadiusz Jozwik, in a confrontation over Brexit, Britain’s then pending departure from the European Union. One of the punches the 15-year-old rendered to the back of Jozwik’s head killed him. He did not deserve to be attacked or killed.

In 2016 and 2017 there were police reports concerning Polish people being attacked and xenophobically slurred in Britain, due to Brexit. Poles were slurred, chased, beaten and told to "go home." Polish people have been filling labor shortages in Britain in a number of industries. They have been contributing to Britain and paying their taxes. They did not deserve the attacks and slurs.

A Spanish woman was attacked on a train in London. White far right female Brexiteers beat her for speaking Spanish in England. The Independent reported the “24-year-old” victim was “left with head injuries.” The newspaper also reported the assailants, “Told the woman she should be speaking English in England.” She did not deserve to be attacked.

Other attacks have been reported on trains, where blacks were racially slurred and or physically attacked by far right Brexiteers. The videos were posted to social networking, showing far right white Brexiteers issuing racial and xenophobic slurs. They did not deserve this abuse.

Johnson had publicly issued slurs about gays, which inspired his far right supporters to be abusive to gay people. In 2019, a lesbian couple was attacked on a bus, beaten bloody by a group of men issuing gay slurs. This is so uncharacteristic for Britain and needs to stop. However, Boris and his far right cronies inspired this madness.

In 2019 white, gay journalist, Owen Jones, who repeatedly spoke out against Brexit, was slurred and beaten up on his birthday in a British pub by a group of white, far right thugs who are Brexiteers. Jones was beaten up for his "sexuality" and "political views" on Brexit. Jones has been a voice for equality on social media, in newspapers and on television. He did not deserve to be attacked. Again, the attack on him is so uncharacteristic for Britain and needs to stop. Boris and his far right cronies inspired this madness.

I keep reading about these negative changes via open attacks on immigrants, people of color and gays, which began spiking due to Brexit and keep thinking to myself, this is not the Britain I know. I am horrified by the whole thing. The Britain I know is a peaceful, tolerant, caring country.

However, it has become clear, the far right Brexiteers, who are a small part of the population, and are inspired by Johnson, Farage and May, among other notorious conservative figures, are behaving in a deplorable manner. They are the ones causing this. Their words and actions are also so loud, it is dominating the news cycle and causing problems for Britain in the world.

They are literally scaring off people the country needs. Boris states he only wants the "best and the brightest." However, the "best and the brightest" have great concerns about living in a "hostile environment." The "best and the brightest" can write their own ticket anywhere. In a future item I will discuss a story regarding how the Tory leadership over the past several years, via xenophobia and racism, scared off a small company from Britain that is now worth a fortune (jobs and revenues lost that would have gone to Britain).

Other consequences of Johnson and his far right’s conduct includes over 10,000 doctors and nurses leaving the National Health Service (NHS) and returning to the European Union, under Brexit and the accompanying xenophobia and racism. The NHS has tried to show them they care and want them to stay. However, under the "hostile environment" they have left and much to Britain's detriment. The NHS is now struggling due to the departures and deliberate under-funding by May, her predecessor David Cameron, as well as her successor, Boris Johnson.

The ever worsening labor shortages in the NHS means longer wait times to see a doctor. Where you would see a doctor every six months, it is now taking longer. This creates the perfect storm where serious medical conditions such as cancer and heart disease can take root and reach a point where they turn deadly. When people see a doctor at least every 6-months, it means better, more comprehensive medical care which catches medical conditions before they can take root and kill.  

Remaining NHS staff are overworked and being placed under enormous strain, which is not good for their health. I knew a British doctor, whom I met as a kid, through one of my relatives, who is a NHS doctor. In 2016, he died fairly quickly of cancer. Many doctors around the world work very hard and to the point the neglect themselves.

Last year, I saw a documentary featuring a NHS doctor, who worked in a London emergency room. He was working 18-hours per day. He explained how exhausted and overwhelmed he had become. You could literally see the exhaustion on him. He also expressed regret at having become a doctor, due to the excessive workload (which is not the global standard). No doctor should be working 18-hours per day. He was only sleeping less than 5-hours per day. The global guideline states people need 8-hours of sleep per day. Sleeping too few hours per day leads to neurological damage and disease.

However, the poor man is a doctor forced to make a tough decision regarding working excessive hours to compensate for labor shortages and under-funding that have occurred due to the Conservative government. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has taken 20-days vacation in the two short months since he was elected. He's having gourmet meals and shagging his mistress Carrie Symonds in Downing Street, while refusing to visit thousands of flood victims in England. 

In order to have a strong and prosperous nation, the country's citizens need to be as healthy as possible. The labor shortages, NHS under-funding and general austerity under the Tory party, has resulted in the deaths of 100,000 Britons, in a spike that caused alarm in the nation and the United Nations (who paid May a visit to denounce her deadly behavior). Johnson is continuing May’s terrible policies. May also let go 22,000 police officers, which resulted in a massive crime spike in Britain that cost many Britons their lives.

Johnson, playing into populism, has let his inner racist run free. He has referred to black people as “grinning picaninnies with watermelon smiles’ which is a racial slur in the British Commonwealth. Johnson also hired racist Andrew Sabisky as a political advisor in his cabinet.

Sabisky publicly spouted his views regarding eugenics, wrongly believing whites are superior and blacks are inferior with low IQs. Johnson refused to denounce Sabisky's views. This coupled with another interview Johnson did, where he compared minorities to animals, leads the public to believe, he too subscribes to this racist philosphy.

Eugenics also seeks to stop blacks and other minorities from reproducing, in what is referred to as “selective breeding.” Eugenics further deems blacks are slave labor, and Jews, gypsies and the disabled are to be exterminated, in line with Hitler's sick philosophy.

This is the type of thinking which led to the human atrocity that is slavery, which saw Britain kidnap, beat and torture black people the government stole from Africa and imported to places such as the Caribbean to be slaves for the financial enrichment of Britain.

The sad fact of the matter is modern Britain is built on slavery. Many museums, mansions, palaces and businesses in Britain were built from the money and goods inhumanely gained through slavery. Even the content of many British museums are from slavery days and colonialism in taking other nations' artifacts and treasures.

Up until 2015, the current British families of former slaveowners, were still being financially compensated by the British government for being forced to sell their slaves when slavery was abolished in the 1800s. It is mind-blowing that people were accepting this slavery blood money up until 5-years ago. The families who kept accepting the payments in modern times should be ashamed.

Modern far right racists seek to even deny slavery ever occurred (much like they are holocaust deniers). It is evident by their words online. However, the British government admits to slavery on its website, regarding forcefully kidnapping and transporting over 3,000,000 black people from Africa to the Caribbean, to be slaves, in what netted Britain the modern equivalent of trillions of pounds sterling. Once again, modern Britain is built on slavery.

My homeland Jamaica became Britain’s most profitable island in the Caribbean. A group of Jamaican slaves, known as the Maroons, began fighting back and killing British soldiers and slavemasters, which ended slavery decades earlier on the island than in other nations. Britain declared a truce with the Maroons, in acts that led to the end of slavery on the island. However, the exploitation was not over.

In the 1980s, former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, conspired with former U.S. President, Ronald Reagan, to financially exploit Jamaica, to steal natural resources such as bauxite. The CIA was the driving force behind it, regarding misconduct that completely exploited and ripped off Jamaica concerning the island's natural resources. They behaved like slavetraders. The same was done to Africa by the two aforementioned elected world leaders, under the direction of the CIA. Let that sink in. This wasn't in the 1800s. This was in the mid 1980s and in a problem that continues. The Caribbean and its people are viewed by the CIA/FBI and British conservative politicians as individuals and grounds to be criminally exploited.

Fast-forward to modern times and this happened: Madonna's Criminal Conduct At The BBC In Britain Has Nasty Racist Slavery Connotations To It (Anthony Joshua, Daniel Kaluuya) and The FBI Is Stonewalling Congress On Releasing FBI File In Madonna Human Rights Abuse Case (Congressional Documents). So the legacy of the slave trade is alive and well, which is vile and despicable. Slavery is still being practiced.

Despite the history of brutality the British government committed against the Caribbean during slavery, you would think it was over back then, when it was abolished. However, as you can see by the examples cited above via the Tories, it was not over. Here's another example. Former Prime Minister, Theresa May, decided to bring back vile abuses against the African descendants of slaves from the Caribbean.

The hateful demon that is May, began revoking the citizenship of Caribbean people, who lawfully immigrated to Britain between 1940-1970, after the British government invited them to do so, to help rebuild the nation after World War II. They are known as the "Windrush" generation, named after a ship.

Britain was severely bombed during the war and many British soldiers had died, which left the nation damaged in many ways. Streets and buildings had been bombed into destruction, taking many businesses with it. It greatly impacted business and infrastructure in a terrible way. The deaths of British soldiers also created labor shortages.

At the time of the war and in the aftermath, the Caribbean was still under British rule. Caribbean people were referred to as “British subjects.” The British government decided to invite Caribbean people to immigrate to Britain to help rebuild the nation and remedy the labor shortages.

Caribbean governments were told their citizens who immigrate to Britain would be “British citizens” and have all “the same rights as Britons.” Over 123,000 Caribbean people immigrated to Britain. They encountered terrible racism, but persevered. They helped to rebuild Britain and remedied the labor shortages.

The British government kept its word for several decades regarding the Caribbean immigrants being British citizens. However, that was until evil Theresa May became Home Secretary , under former Prime Minister David Cameron, and put a despicable plan in motion to deport every single Caribbean person she could find and target.

May, via the Home Office, unlawfully sent out tens of thousands of deportation letters, in violation of previous international agreements the British government made with Caribbean world governments. They were wrongly and deliberately branded illegal immigrants, after several decades of lawfully residing in Britain.

Due to the new, fraudulent illegal status, Caribbean people who had lawfully lived and worked in Britain for decades lost their jobs, homes, healthcare and pensions, when May declared them illegal immigrants, under her self-professed "hostile environment" (treating immigrants like garbage, enemies and hostile invaders). May was denounced in the New York Times and many other global publications as racist scum with a sick agenda. May's name is now mud all over the world.

May's conduct was a terrible throw back to slavery where blacks were robbed of everything, not allowed to own anything and denied healthcare. May's conduct greatly damaged the British government's name in the world in an incident that will never be forgotten. She is the worst thing that happened to the British and Caribbean relationship since slavery. She is a disgrace.

The far right wants black people to stop talking about slavery and racism but take a good look at the conduct of the aforementioned Tory politicians throwing race matters in our faces. We did not tell Johnson to call us "grinning picaninnies with watermelon smiles." We did not tell Johnson to hire a political advisor and bring him to Downing Street, to spout his views as a proponent of racist eugenics. Nor did we tell Johnson to support eugenics and refuse to publicly denounce it. Nor did we tell Boris to compare minorities to animals. Boris did these things all on his own.

Johnson and his fellow racists thinks what they've done is cute and funny. However, it is self-defeating. They've scared people off Britain, whom the country needs. They are costing Britain a fortune in tourism and investments with this racism and xenophobia.

Johnson's far right supporters are engaging in this behavior to their own detriment as well. They are also getting riled up by people such as Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins, who've made money from being racist and xenophobic. Farage and Robinson have received donations of over £1,000,000 each (that's in addition to payments from other far right groups). Hopkins has also received donations from far right entities and payment for interviews/appearances. Farage even charged people to march with him. Have you ever heard of such a greedy, self-serving, idiotic thing.

However, 99% of far right supporters do not have six or seven figures in the bank. Yet, they are on social media making racist and xenophobic statements for anyone to see. Meanwhile, potential employers have and continue to look up their profiles online (as is standard with many employers) and have refused to hire them. As the damage from Brexit becomes even more apparent, costing British businesses a greater fortune, even more far right people will find it difficult to find work and some will be fired for the damage the movement cost Britain.

They are banking on Boris to bring back the old British empire. However, those days are not coming back. Britain no longer owns most of the world that was conquered by force. Up to the mid-1900s, Britain used to manufacture every type of product on the planet as well. It is not so anymore. Under former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher there was a pronounced move away from manufacturing.

Britain then heavily  relied on revenues from the European Union, the real estate market and banking. The irony is the real estate market and banking have taken a financial hit under Brexit. To make matters worse, the racism and xenophobia Boris and company keep spouting, is keeping vital people away. A part of the electorate have also put their faith in Boris, who will not deliver. Boris said whatever he felt was necessary to get elected. From the start, sensible people who know politics realized his entire political platform was pure unworkable, nonsensical crap. This has created the perfect storm of trouble for the British economy.

To the British people, I'm not mad at you for slavery (modern Brits). I don't hold a drudge against you. I'm not trying to hurt you. I do love Britain, which is why the things that are transpiring in the nation are so upsetting to me. I can see where things are going under Boris and it's not good. I am trying to make you aware that you have placed your faith in a prime minister, who is going to fail you and fail you badly. So be careful. Make wise financial choices in your personal and business lives. Do not risk everything on what Boris is telling you, as he cannot deliver what he has promised. There is trouble ahead.

Under modern Tory politicians Britain has taken a turn for the worse and the worst is yet to come (financial losses, poverty, Britain breaking up and political weakness on the world stage). Scotland will seek to leave. They will change their local laws in an effort to leave Britain. Wales also wants independence. Ireland wants to reunify with Northern Ireland. They are all valuable members of the British family. It is a concentration of revenues, businesses, workers and military might that has Britain ensconced at an impressive #5 in the world. However, with the things transpiring due to the far right and Brexit, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland want to leave.

Boris Johnson's IQ comments met with outrage

Thu 28 Nov 2013 16.23 EST - First published on Thu 28 Nov 2013 16.23 EST - Boris Johnson was on Thursday accused of revealing his "unpleasant elitism" and insulting the low-paid of London after he controversially suggested some people will struggle to get on in life because of their low IQs.

The London mayor was met with outrage from political rivals and silence from his own party after he gave a speech embracing the philosophies of Margaret Thatcher that appeared to mock the 16% "of our species" with an IQ below 85 and called for more to be done to help the 2% of the population who have an IQ above 130.

During the speech, Johnson declared that inequality was essential to foster the spirit of envy and hailed greed as a valuable spur to economic activity, as he claimed that shaking a cornflake packet hard was the best way of getting some to rise to the top.

The fiercest criticism came from Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister, who attacked the senior Tory's "unpleasant, careless elitism" and accused him of talking about people as if they were dogs. "I don't agree with Boris Johnson on this. Much as he is a funny and engaging guy, I have to say these comments reveal a fairly unpleasant, careless elitism that somehow suggests we should give up on a whole swath of fellow citizens," Clegg told LBC 97.3 radio.

"To talk about us as if we are a sort of breed of dogs, a species I think he calls it … the danger is if you start taking such a deterministic view of people because they have got a number attached to them, in this case an IQ number, they are not going to rise to the top of the cornflake packet, that is complete anathema to everything I've always stood for in politics."

'These comments reveal a fairly unpleasant, careless elitism that somehow suggests we should give up on a whole swath of fellow citizens.' Clegg said he believed children developed at different paces and should have access to a culture of opportunity, aspiration and hard work.

His remarks were echoed by David Lammy, the Tottenham MP who is considering a bid to run as mayor of London for Labour in 2016, who said the remarks were worse than careless. "I don't think that's just careless. I think it's an insult," he told BBC Radio 4's World at One. "It's an insult to cleaners in London, to people who are home carers in London, people who are minimum wage, giving them the suggestion that they are sort of bottom of the cornflake packet. That's not the sort of society I thought we wanted to live in, particularly when the mayor has supported the London living wage, which is about saying we all ought to be in this together.

"It's extraordinary for a mayor, who should be for all of London, to think it's all right to glorify greed – a greed that has brought a banking collapse and caused misery and hardship to many Londoners, particularly to young people who can't get on the housing ladder."

Sadiq Khan, shadow justice secretary and another potential mayoral contender, said Johnson's comments were "shameful" and suggested he was playing to the right in an effort to become leader of the Tory party. "He has never had to struggle or fight to survive in his life. How could someone so out of touch with most Londoners' lives possibly understand the reality of poverty in London?" he said.

"He is abandoning and exploiting poor Londoners to appeal to the far right of the Tory party and Ukip as he forgets London in his desperate scrabble to become leader of his party."...

Downing St refuses to say if Boris Johnson agrees with adviser who suggested black people are mentally inferior and backed compulsory contraception

11 hours ago - Downing Street has refused to say whether Boris Johnson agrees with an adviser who suggested black people were mentally inferior and advocated compulsory contraception to prevent a “permanent underclass”. A Number 10 spokesman was repeatedly asked at a Westminster media briefing whether the PM wished to distance himself from a string of controversial remarks made by Andrew Sabisky, who was recruited by senior advisor Dominic Cummings.

Presented with a series of Sabisky’s comments and asked whether the PM backed them or would condemn them, the spokesman responded only: “The prime minister’s views are well publicised and well documented.” Despite frequent requests, the Downing Street spokesman was unable to point to a single example of the prime minister expressing a view on eugenics or the intelligence of black people, merely saying that reporters would find that his opinions were “well-documented” on the public record.

He declined to say whether Mr Johnson’s views on the issue were reflected in a magazine article in which the PM referred to black people as “picaninnies” with “watermelon smiles”.

Whilst editor of The Spectator, Mr Johnson published an article in which columnist Taki wrote: “On average, Orientals are slower to mature, less randy, less fertile, and have larger brains and higher IQ scores. Blacks are at the other pole, and whites fall somewhere in the middle, although closer to the Orientals than the blacks.”

Asked subsequently about his contributor’s remarks, Mr Johnson described Taki as a “very distinguished columnist”. The PM is coming under growing pressure to sack Mr Sabisky over comments prior to his appointment in which he:

- Called for the young to undergo compulsory contraception to prevent the creation of “a permanent underclass”;

- Disparagingly compared women’s sport to the Paralympics

- Suggested that black people were more likely than whites to be “close to mental retardation”.

The 27-year-old self-styled “superforecaster” responded to Mr Cummings’ call for “misfits and weirdos” to apply to work at 10 Downing Street.

But his extreme views immediately sparked outrage online after it emerged that he had made comments about the IQs of black people on a blog post published in 2014.

In it, he wrote: ‘If the mean black American IQ is (best estimate based on a century’s worth of data) around 85, as compared to a mean white American IQ of 100, then if IQ is normally distributed, you will see a far greater percentage of blacks than whites in the range of IQs 75 or below, at which point we are close to the typical boundary for mild mental retardation. That parsimoniously explains the greater diagnostic rates for blacks when it comes to ‘Intellectual Disability’.”

Mr Sabiksy has also come under fire for previously stating that much of the ‘hue and cry’ against female genital mutilation ‘looks more like a moral panic’. He also suggested that giving children mental performance-enhancing drugs which might pose a risk to their lives was probably worth ‘a dead kid once a year’. In 2016, the Cambridge graduate argued the case for eugenics, which aims to improve the genetic quality of the population by excluding certain groups judged to be ‘inferior’, writing: “Eugenics are about selecting ‘for’ good things.”

The Downing Street spokesman had earlier refused to confirm his appointment or to say whether he was working as a special adviser to the PM paid by the taxpayer...
