Supernaturally inclined readers may like this. I have noticed some striking similarities between our current Prime Minister and an infamously hated old English King. So much so, in fact, that I wonder if the spirit of the old philandering thug might be present in our modern day philandering thug. Is it possible that Boris Johnson was King Henry VIII in a previous life? Let’s look at the evidence and you can make up your own mind.
Right, so here are the similarities I’ve noticed so far.
 King Henry VIII (1491-1547) |  Prime Minister Boris Johnson (1964-?) |
|---|---|
| Fathered several illegitimate children but only publically acknowledged one. | Fathered an unspecified number of illegitimate children but only publically acknowledged his latest. Refuses to say how many other children he has (or he doesn’t know). |
| Decisions were grandiose, melodramatic and played for effect, lacking in detail or forethought. | Decisions are catchy slogans designed to capture the audience emotion and divert from missing detail. |
| Reactionary, intolerant, tyranical and violent. | Reactionary and intolerant, he sacked anyone who wasn’t totally in line with his version of Brexit. Infamously he was caught plotting to beat up journalist Darius Guppy in 1990. |
| Careless and stupid; had a serious jousting accident in 1524. | Careless and stupid; in early 2020 he waived away concerns of a pandemic, boasting of shaking hands with Covid patients, and then was hospitalised with Covid weeks later. |
| A notourious womaniser. | A notorious womaniser. |
| Cheated on his wives. | Cheated on his wives, including one who was getting cancer treatment at the time. |
| Fat. | Fat. |
| Made radical changes to the English constitution, some of them deeply unpopular. | Lead Britain into Brexit, the biggest and most disastrous constitutional change in over a century. |
| A keen gambler and dice player. | Gambled with the UK’s future to further his career. |
| Had a close advisor killed for giving bad marriage advice. | Had a close advisor fired for calling his partner “Princess Nut Nuts” in a text message. |
| Broke the country away from Rome and the Catholic Church, purely to further his own personal interests. | Broke the country away from Brussels and the European Union, purely to further his own personal interests. |
| His downfall was partly blamed on failings in foreign policy and his absurd reputation and ambition. | It all lines up, doesn’t it? |
If you know of any other fascinating similarities between these two overweight shitbags, please drop a note in the comments below. Thanks!
It does. It all lines up.
