Ever the victim, never to blame

Alexander Boris de Piffel Johnson wrone in a Spectator article that: "(about Liverpudlians) “seeing themselves whenever possible as victims”."For which he had to visit Liverpool and appologise in person for.

We can now see that it is Johnson himself who sees him as always the victim; that he was ambushed by a party, the remainer blob, the EU, he underlings, his Ministers, anyone, bar himself is ever to blame.

He is, not surprisingly, happy to always take the credit. Even for other people's work.

So it goes, so it goes.

The Standard's Committee have said he mislead Parliament on 8 separate occasions, then mislead the Committee itself a further 11 imes. But Johnson says that it is a witch hunt, a kangaroo court by the remainer blob who want to reverse Brexit.

His suspension was going to be far less until he started attacking the Committee and its members. The Committee noted that in March Johnson wrote in stating he would never use those terms, the Committee also noted that in his rebuttal of the report and recommendations, he used those very words.

Sadly, the Party he used to lead will, for the most part, not vote in accepting the report tonight, but will abstain. So will the current PM, so much for a new era of honesty and standards in politics, Mr Sunak?

Under these circumstances, the report will be accepted by those who will vote, and Johnson will be ceremonly suspended, but in addition lost his right to having a pass to enter Parliament again in the future, so if he were to stand as an independant MP, and won, he still could not enter The House to carry out his duties. This could be undone by a future Governmentm but seems a remote possibility at this point.

Today was a clear opportunity for the Conservative and Union Party to take a step back towards honesty and fact based politics in rejecting the liar that is their former leader. They have chosen not to.

As for Johnson, he will make noise. A lot of noise. Make lots of (well paid) speeches, cause interfearance. But his crime is to be Alxander Boris de Piffel Johnson. That is also his sentence.

Will history see him as the worst PM of all time? He was followed by Truss after all. But for the poison he injected and infected the body politic with, I think he may be. Only Cameron, whose decision to have a simple in/referendum that lead us on the path to madness comes close.
