Is all this fury over Boris really fair?

BORIS is far from perfect, as his enthusiastic endorsement of the extreme Green agenda attests.

However the matter of drink parties at No10, pursued obsessively by the Left, with the BBC acting as cheerleader, reveals the truth about the attitude of the British establishment to him, and the implacable hatred with which he is regarded by the Remainers for actually sticking to his guns, and delivering Brexit, albeit not yet fully.

That fanatical Remainer Lord Adonis made the game plan clear when he said, “If Boris goes, Brexit goes”.

The bureaucrats, the so-called progressive Left, the judiciary, large parts of the media, and almost all of the chattering classes are incandescent that the British people actually dared to defy them, and voted to leave the EU.

They still do not accept that this is an accomplished fact, and continue to try and reverse the situation. while the BBC, even when war threatens in Eastern Europe, treats so-called “Partygate” as if it was the most important challenge facing the nation. Their commentators, and indeed those of other broadcast media, such as Sky News, act as if they were the spokespeople for the opposition, not impartial reporters.

These people accuse Boris of showing contempt for the electorate, but we must never forget that they did their best to negate the greatest democratic vote taken in this country, because they have more in common with their continental counterparts than with the British people.

When the result of the 2016 referendum was declared one senior civil servant was reported as saying “it will never happen”. What arrogance!

I wonder how many of us religiously obeyed every regulation introduced during the pandemic. Boris is accused of hypocrisy but the true hypocrites are those who are casting the first stone. Colin Bullen
