It feels as though a lot of the Tory bastards have finally had it with the bastard in chief doesn't it? To me, it seemed fairly obvious about twenty years ago that Johnson had decided that the rules didn't apply to him and that he was completely free to ignore them or break them as he chose - even if they were rules that he himself had put in place and insisted that they were really important for everyone else to follow - so I struggle to see why people who have loyally supported him for years as he blatantly did that are suddenly annoyed. And I'm not really that excited about it either as, if they do cast him aside now, he will merely be replaced by another of his ilk... and, more to the point, he has already done an enormous amount of quite possibly irreparable damage to the country and the system of government we used which, for some reason, we called a democracy.
It's like after the Brexit vote when there were loads of people celebrating the obliteration of UKIP in the following election. People taunting Farage and his followers as though they hadn't grasped that the reason no-one was voting for them any more was cos they had succeeded so completely in their aims that they were no longer necessary. With Johnson it's not really like that, I don't think he had any particular aims, certainly no ideology or strong belief.
So I suppose that, if Johnson does go down, there will at least be some pleasure in knowing that he is unhappy. I also hope that he has greatly over-extended himself financially with a load of commitments based on his PM's salary and the griftig opportunities it gave him... I would gain some satisfaction if his life just totally fell apart like the bad guy in Fargo or Before The Devil Knows Your Dead - one of those films where it all goes horribly wrong for the protagonist and we can hardly watch as this slow motion car crash unfolds in front of us - but politically I don't think it will make that much difference to any of us if it's Bozza or someone else gleefully pissing all over us and claiming it's a delightful summer shower.
