More important are the sentiments I expressed to you. I hope they may stimulate civil debate on the matter....

Just drilling down on the language of your comment.... 'wouldn't be surprised.....', 'can't imagine.....' That horrifying and shattering event would inevitably have an instant emotional impact on anyone who followed the tragic story. I speculate that it will be fully exploited as a moral panic...

The secret of Johnson's success is sincerity. Once he found he could fake that he knew he had it made.... (adapted from Jean Giraudoux with thanks)

It is certainly true that some individuals (from all major parties) took criminal advantage of expenses. I am not sure who you mean by 'a few, inconsequential, sacrificial lambs' though. However, your comment has a similar 'populist' inclination to the one expressed by @wehatepalace .... that...

Unfortunately, whether or not you intended it, this comment reads a bit like 'all politicians are the same' and 'visceral language' is unfairly being used against Boris Johnson as well as between posters who hold different views on this one man. In answer to the first I say that is wholly...

A bit of a laugh.....

Goodness, I really hope you are right... He certainly is no great politician, but he is a successful cult leader and consummate chancer. I try not to speculate on the future but fear he is constitutionally unable to leave politics entirely.....

Thanks.... and sadly I agree with your last sentiment. Shockingly I also find myself agreeing with the Brexit loving Isabel Oakeshott (for the first time) on this matter.....

I am not sure.... I am talking about the lying, entitled, corrupt, former (and unlamented) PM who goes by the name of Boris Johnson although in reality his first name is Alexander. My apologies if you were commenting on someone else.....

...maybe, but not dishonest, narcissistic opinion formers who beguile and gull the good people of this country.....

In the world of Boris Johnson there would be a lot more 'deserved' gongs ... for those who have 'relentlessly maintained evidence free support for Brexit and/or Boris Johnson's lost and corrupt causes'

A rare convert, I believe... Luke 15:7. (although I am not religious)

On that we agree, I love it too..... I hope we can now agree it is much deserved.....
