"Boris Johnson’s first response was at odds with the rest of the world. But this virus does not respect his delusions of national character"

it's a shame however that boris had to contract it as some sort of exclamation point to the concept, and i do hope he recovers as a wiser leader with all this personal experience. for all we know he might emerge as a positive leader in acknowledging and confronting the harsh realities and necessities brought about by covid-19. i love a good blessing-in-disguise 👆

None of that's going to happen.

I haven't given up hope yet 🙂
