Bear in mind this article is by the Grauniad, so it has its own agenda, however it provides more food for thought.

You will notice that in his statement today at PMQs he used the standard verbal trick of apologising for the effects of the actions, but not for the actions themselves.

Quote from the article - Before taking any questions, Johnson told the Commons he was “also furious to see that clip”, saying: “I can understand how infuriating it would be to think that the people who have been setting the rules have not been following the rules.”

He continued: “I apologise unreservedly for the offence that it has caused up and down the country, and apologise for the impression that it gives.”


At least Trump was open enough to say that he could walk down the street and shoot someone in the head, and his followers would still vote for him. Johnson thinks the same it would appear, and up till now they have continued to support him regardless of what he does. Surely at some point that must come to an end ..... surely?? Or maybe not, just look at the dictators of the past.
