The Boris Charade

The Boris Charade Today I watched the ’tangled web of deceit’ within the Conservative Party ducking and weaving for dear life; in the end they threw Boris out with the bathwater. After all, they had their own political fortunes to safeguard. Constituents were getting a little restive. The mighty Steve Baker, he of the powerful ERG, spoke at length in Parliament today. He squirmed and slithered and, in the end, decided Johnson was too toxic to stay near. However, what escapes me is why the Tory M Ps could not bring themselves to shed the P M weeks ago, when it was clear that he had no respect for the truth, and he was a liability. Did he respect the M Ps who were propping him up? I doubt it. For Boris, it appears, the whole thing is a huge joke, and that offensive smirk never leaves his face. Now we have the ethics committee investigating a serving P M. How far have we descended! Meanwhile, Boris is in India, in good company, I must say. Modi and Johnson must agree on so many things, including Modi’s abhorrent treatment of the Muslims in India. I cringed watching the charade: Boris in turban and Indian garments, Boris paying his respects to the image of Gandhi. Boris being greeted with flowers on his arrival in India. Jesus Wept! Modi has debased India to the point of no-return.
