Yes, Boris Johnson is not to be trusted – but let's look at all the cronies that enable him ✒️ y_alibhai for ipaperviews
I want to thank Stuart from Finchley for this column. His calls to James O’Brien’s LBC radio show triggered a mixture of respect and deep despondency in me and other listeners. This daily showAfter Stuart, then a civil servant, phoned the programme last July,. This week, he told the presenter: “[That] was a heartfelt plea to senior civil servants in 10 Downing Street and the Cabinet Office to stop facilitating corrupt practices. Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed.
Sadly, many modern Britons not only tolerate corruption, they exalt rule-breakers. Some actively aid the unscrupulous and “heroic” disrupters. The media is hyperventilating about Boris Johnson , Nadhim Zahawi and Rishi Sunak. The circus will move on. There will be no examination of how public life became unethical and boorish, or who is to blame, or why the erosion of standards matters so little.
Far worse, in my opinion, are the movers and shakers who support Johnson despite him vandalising the pillars of this ancient nation and debasing its values. The accused include the publisher HarperCollins, which has apparently paid Johnson, which I suspect will be semi-fictionalised and entirely self-serving. And The Spectator and Telegraph, which previously fed his ego and pockets.
