Mr. Tea
Let's Talk About Ceps
And yet he was writing pro-EU articles just a couple of months before the referendum, wasn't he? Just goes to show that it's not that he has bad principles, as such, more that he has literally no principles whatsoever, other than promoting his own career - in fact I want to write "brand", because he is very much a "brand", isn't he?
Margaret Thatcher stood for lots of bad things but she at least identifiably stood for something. There was an ideology there that you could grasp and argue against (or agree with). With Johnson there's nothing. He is a perfect ideological cipher - perhaps in some way the idea 21st century politician. I don't for one second believe that he actually "believes" positively in Brexit.
