The “flush” comparison is very apt. I remember in my youth seeing the turd reappear much to my amusement!

The last 5 years has taught me two key attributes of this country. The population in general has no interest in truth so accept the version of events fed to them by those in authority, who are themselves allowed to commit the most awful atrocities without guilt or shame. Proof that the descendants of Cain run the show.

Thanks Frederick.

Everytime Johnson goes on one of his trips it costs us taxpayers money, not just his inflated ego costs but his RASP security. It's beyond belief the arrogance of the man, having screwed us over Convid and Brexit, a foxhole is too good for him.

What a day - what an article. Thank you Frederick.

The former PM BoJo is a dangerous, amoral, spineless twit.

One can make all sorts of excuses, but like his personal life, we see a public record of wreck after wreck.

We must not forget the UK was used, as usual, to do the initial work that the USA could not do in public, so the odd appearance of BoJo to alter the path towards peace instead, towards war, suited his ego as well as the purposes of CIA / Mr O' Biden's administration.

This whole episode has been wreathed in corruption.

'Unflushables' - like a grungy version of Elliot Ness!

This is such an excellent article and one that many can identify with. When I mention the Johnson visit that precipitated this pointless war, I'm frequently put down as a fantasist. It's so good to read others' opinions and realise that my opinions weren't just imagined.

Johnson's part in starting this war was due to his problems on the home front and a desire to try and look like a stateman on the world stage. He was also suitably rewarded by those in the White House who needed this war to begin.

Great piece. I find most of the European "leaders" are anything but. They live in a fantasy world of their own making where they set up systems to take as much as they can.

Johnson is a particularly odious example of the grifters

He has an a unbelievably high opinion of himself. He has added nothing to public life. All he can do is take as much as he can while doing the complete opposite of what he had ever been asked to do.

Johnson would never risk his skin on the front line, but I imagine he'd love to don a military helmet and uniform for a photo op, much like a hard hat and hi vis. Never mind a few Ukrainians sacrificed on the altar of the Johnsonian ego. Let the bodies pile high! said he. You can't make a Churchill omelette without breaking a few eggs.

Why would believe anything Lavrov says? Trump seems to like Boris, judging by his inauguration invite. How do you explain that?

De Pfeffer likes to play parts in the theatre of his own imagination. The Churchill comparison is so attractive that it must be ignored. At least C didn't shag around so much to the best of my knowledge. Johnson a side-show even in the realm of Containment Conservatism.
