Time For Boris Johnson To Drink Hemlock?
Yesterday’s development makes Britain’s worst ever premier’s position completely untenable.
The news broke yesterday that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom —Boris Johnson and his Chancellor of the Exchequer — Rishi Sunak — are to be fined by the police for breaking the lockdown rules.
This follows months of investigation by the police and the resignation of the downing street press secretary, who was filmed laughing and joking about what took place in the nation’s seat of power, when millions of Brits were forced to remain indoors and couldn’t see dying relatives.
We also can’t forget the repeated lies told by the first lord of the treasury to parliament when he stated that he knew absolutely nothing about the parties which held at his official residence.
The imposition of a fine on a sitting Prime Minister, is the very first of its kind since the position was created well over 300 years ago. Britain’s preeminent law maker has now become its first law breaker in office.
Given the circumstances, you would expect that Boris Johnson would do the right thing and fall on his sword?
God no!
Such is the shamelessness of the worst ever occupant of number 10 Downing street.
