There's the very quaint and outmoded idea being floated on this thread that politicians should have principals. Boris has none, my estimate would be that 95% of them certainly have none, and the other 5% are at the very least suspect in that regard. So Boris is just typical of the dross we elect to run the country. But at least we have elected them, and we get the chance to kick them up the backside every five years, unlike the unelected elite who boss us around from Brussels. Do they have principals ? Who knows, who even knows who they are, and would it matter if we did, because we can do nothing whatsoever about them, principals or not.

Strangely, many people who whinge about Boris, who is answerable to the electorate and can be unelected, are quite relaxed about being governed by an unelected, unaccountable, bureaucracy in Brussels, who most clearly do not have the interests of this/their country at heart.

Go figure.
