We don't need any more biased or empty plaudits for the incongruous Boris Johnson as he impersonates a circus bear that has been clouted too many times on its head. We need a Boris Johnson who is a ex-politician now sprawled at the bottom of a deep well of anonymity. Any MP who treats politics as an amateur charade belongs in a balloon juddering out of control in mid-Atlantic. Where the maddened and enraged media cannot reach him. If he became prime minister, wise leaders would never allow him inside the Elysee Palace or The White House. One tiny advantage; his political career is finite.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08284191337918951531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546602206734889307.post-66760978570035084232019-06-29T09:05:18.871+00:002019-06-29T09:05:18.871+00:00With Trump and Johnson the permissive society rhet...With Trump and Johnson the permissive society rhetoric of Conservatism has fallen apart. <br /><br />When I said here that Cameron's Big Society was merely Victorian Values renamed, it is looking now like a proper change to Conservatism, where shrinking the size of the state, that markets make morals, has overtaken the 1960's idea of the permissive society.<br /><br />Comparing the Daily Mail online to the Daily Mail in print gives you the same change.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02197568488716521989noreply@blogger.com
