Johnson too shameless to be able to hang his head

-

Sir, – Boris Johnson has to go. His position as prime minister of the United Kingdom must be untenable.

The apologies for the boozy dancing and drinking parties during lockdown are now coming thick and fast.

Whether you are a royalist or not, the saddest picture has to be of the woman who has served this country so well and for so long, our Queen Elizabeth II, who took on this role not because she wanted to but because of circumstan­ces when it came her father’s way and then hers, sitting in mourning, alone and isolated at the funeral of her husband, Prince Philip.

That said, how well she has served this country with dignity and forbearanc­e for many, many years.

You, Mr Johnson, cannot even serve it in a respectful manner for a couple of years.

You make rules for the rest of us – only for you and your cronies to break them.

You are so arrogant you consider yourselves to be above the laws you set for the minions.

If our Queen can respect them in the saddest of circumstan­ces – what is wrong with you?

As for the comments of Jacob Rees-mogg regarding Douglas Ross, Conservati­ve Party leader in Scotland, they are, yet again, arrogant and dehumanisi­ng.

Mr Rees-mogg, by his attitude, demeanour and snooty arrogance, is why the

Tories are disliked in Scotland.

We are a nation of mostly working class, honest, downto-earth people.

Mr Rees-mogg belongs to a time and century long gone, stuck in a time warp of high society, snobbery and arrogance.

Mr Johnson, you should hang your head in shame – but shame is something you will probably never experience. Joyce Langlands. William Street, Tayport.
