Johnson suffers from the Eton delusion as so clearly - and devastatingly - demonstrated by Cameron. Bought a network of contacts (with a sideshow of posh education) that might allow him to smarm his way into become Prime Minister, while actually being wholly unprepared to lead modern Britain in any way effectively. And being lazy - an attribute evidently shared by Cameron and Johnson - is probably also a likely characteristic of the kind of person inclined to pursue the Eton short-cut. Self-belief turns out to be self-delusion (albeit with the sad consequence that the country has to bear the consequences).

Cameron by some accounts wasn’t lazy.
And I’m not sure what lazy means in this context? Sitting around and twiddling their thumbs? Dicking around on Internet forums?
I think about the Jobs quote - want something difficult done? Ask someone lazy to do it - they’ll find a way. Paraphrased.
I think Scheming captures it better.

Not a fan of Cameron but apparently he wasn't too bad in negotiations with the EU and a mate with the Dutch prime minister in the EU. Which helped his case (both Tory bluekip types and anti more EU rules / cooperation)
BJ is I think really just useless. If he becomes prime minister, well, em... Shall we just say it's bad, and leave it there :)

I thought the same. I've felt for a long time that he'll somehow end up PM.
