It has been a theme through out my life that politicians can't really be trusted and continually backtrack on their promises. The Conservatives have spent the last ten years or so laying waste to public services through austerity which disproportionately impacts on the less well off. Prominent members of the Cabinet have called British people some of the worst idlers in the world and have a cultural dependence on benefits. And somehow now, through the magic of Brexit, they have had a road to Damascus conversion and are super pro-Democracy and the ordinary man on the street. Wut?
And Boris. I confess I quite like him but he's a toff who has got very wealthy through EU connections, was a proponent of well managed globalisation with friends in banking, initially favoured Remain but now he is Mr Nation State? Come on now...
I would quite like him playing himself in the true film, Boris De Pfeffel Johnson - England Manager.
As a politician, he is as slippery as an eel and lies like a cheap Japanese watch. Perfectly matched, some would say, but not for me. The moment I knew was when he emerged as a rabid, ultra committed Brexiteer having claimed to be 'torn' and having written two pieces - one pro EU, one anti to try to decide. Some transformation. And if Remain had won, guess whose side Bojo would have been on.
