‘This is like textbook stuff!’ mrjamesob highlights the ‘uncanny’ link between Boris Johnson’s Partygate lies and the Narcissist's Prayer.
After Boris Johnson faced the Privileges Committee yesterday to continue his defence over Partygate, James O'Brien pointed out the links between the former Prime Minister's eventual admission that he was at "gatherings" and 'The Narcissist's Prayer'."When LBC was at Grays Inn Road, he was having his affair with Petronella Wyatt - you used to see them sitting in the basement of Pret a Manger just around the corner from the office.
"Good God this is uncanny!" James exclaimed, listing denial, invalidating, gaslighting, blame-shifting accountability issues and guilt-tripping as key examples of narcissistic behaviour. James noticed "the first line of the Partygate saga" was that "it didn't happen", followed by Johnson describing the events as "gatherings" rather than parties so that they didn't seem so bad.
The former Prime Minister has since admitted that he did mislead Parliament over the events during lockdown and social distancing restrictions, but says he acted in "good faith".
