I think Chris summarised the real issue our country faces and that is the erosion and re-basing of the moral authority that underwrites our Governance. Whether or not you support the Cult of Johnson and his populist agenda, the journey he is taking us all on is a dangerous one.
By redefining the rules of truth, integrity and accountability, we are being taken to a place where literally anything goes and anything is possible. You may watch his lips move but don't for one second assume that what his says means anything.
I saw this yesterday, sort of summed it up for me:
Quote:
Boris Johnson: "it was only right to say goodbye to colleagues who were leaving"
My aunt Joyce, on a borrowed phone in ICU: "David, I'm scared, I don't want to die, I've so much living left to do"
Me: "I love you, you're my hero, I will see you soon"
The next day she died.
