Indeed, but how does one decide that something is the fault of the pandemic and that something is the fault of Brexit? It’s as if the country has been put under anesthetic for the last two years, so when it finally does come out of its slumber, the world will look reassuringly similar, yet some things will have changed entirely, but nobody will be able to identify quite what caused what. Perhaps in the summer when more people travel to Europe again, they’ll complain about the added bureaucracy and extra costs that entails, but even then those will be offset by having a stronger pound. Every difference ’at home’ will be attributed to the pandemic and then to the changing world in which we live. Those awaiting a Brexit comeuppance may be sorely disappointed.No doubt about it, the pandemic has provided the tories excellent cover for a host of self-inflicted problems.
I don’t know what kind of timescale they are looking at, but someday the virus will become a relative irrelevance as will,what will be one day, the former pm Johnson, and then someone is going to have to take ownership of the clusterf*ck that is brexit.
If there aren’t enough main-stream one nation tories left in the party to protect one nation Toryism, then the lurch to the extreme fringes on the right once occupied by farage and his cohort, will surely render them as unelectable as , well, farage and his cohort.
Alternatively, you allow the results of the inquiry to be just damaging enough that Johnson can resign on the basis that he broke a technicality but he can still bow out with a degree of face saved. You then start the public inquiry into the pandemic, all the time knowing that Hancock and Johnson, two of the chief protagonists, are now safely out of reach, and so nobody ultimately carries the can for that.Results of the enquiry will be released once Boris's spin doctors have massaged it enough so as not to overly incriminate the gimp.
Why do the police have to wait for the results of an internal inquiry. That defense wouldn't wash with either you or me if we had been suspected of breaking the law? And its highly likely the law was broken.Results of the enquiry will be released once Boris's spin doctors have massaged it enough so as not to overly incriminate the gimp.
