Boris Johnson’s ousting has very little to do with arrogance….

Many wrongly think arrogance is behind Boris Johnson’s repeated reluctance to sack his ministers or take action when his staffers were caught breaching the rules he set, his reluctance had very little to do with arrogance

One of the biggest human flaw is our belief that what we just did to others cannot happen to us. When Boris ousted Theresa May on the back of her supposedly awful Brexit deal – bearing in mind he himself (and all his chums whom he later appointed to cabinet posts) was part of Theresa’s government – and also bearing in mind that nobody had previously done a successful Brexit deal for comparison (it was all going to be unchartered territory), the power base that Boris needed to oust Theresa May was not one he could later freely chastise, even when they erred. These were not people he could sack or berate in public without grave consequence to his position

In essence, he was damned if he did and damned if he didn’t

It was only a simple matter of time, before he was certain to face the music.

He wanted to be Prime Minister, he saw his opportunity via Brexit, took it, and then quickly found out that when you dine with the devil, you can find the longest spoon available, it is unlikely to prove to be long enough….

The sad part of this episode is the detriment to the people. Theresa May’s Brexit deal was not better nor worse than what Boris had and now, 3 years on, we are no better off and people are starving in their homes and many will freeze to death this coming winter, while the folk who should be busy trying to solve these problems are focused on their power-play…
