While Boris Johnson is unquestionably a corrupt liar, are we supposed to believe that the establishment has suddenly discovered this? Pull the other one! This man has lied copiously and consistently throughout his entire career, his personal life and modus operandi are studies in narcissism and disloyalty.
.
It turns the stomach to see the kinds of people who are finger pointing at him now. why are no fingers pointed similarly at all the people in parliament, the civil service and the media who faithfully carried water for him all those years?
.
When it suited the establishment to use Boris Johnson as a vote winning talisman they were happy to look the other way at the kind of man that he is, happy to install a known liar and sociopath as prime minister.
.
When The Guardian et al set out to destroy Jeremy Corbyn and progressive left politics in the UK (job done on both counts btw) they didn’t care that smearing Corbyn would help to elevate Johnson.
.
Corbyn was a known man of principle – Johnson a known man of egregious deceit, but they smeared Corbyn at every turn anyway.
I don’t care much to listen to The Guardian’s sanctimony about the consequences of electing Johnson now when they strained every sinew to ensure that Corbyn lost to him.
.
Let us have a full accounting of all the people that defended the indefensible on the morning media rounds, all the people that lined their pockets via Johnson’s corruption, all the people who took jobs, honours and career advancement from Johnson and all the people who worked so hard to sabotage Corbyn in the full knowledge that it would elevate Johnson (including many within the Labour Party who sabotaged their own electoral prospects).
.
If we can’t have a full accounting then let us stop the scapegoating – however deserving of being tarred and feathered in the stocks Boris John is – there are a great many others who should be right alongside him and THAT is the reason they are squawking their condemnations so loudly – to over up their own lies and corruption and to hide the truth that the entire UK political system pivots around lies and corruption also.
Since 2013 I have worked on this Ad-Free site: trying to give a voice to those without the power or agency to speak out for themselves and speaking simple truths that well paid journalists in the corporate media dare not utter.
I am a home schooling parent on a low income – paying for the domain, web hosting and security entirely out of my own pocket.
If you find this website useful and could spare us a few shillings to help keep our lights on, it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you in solidarity with all our readers. John Lynch, Editor.
