Led by donkeys:
In the eyes of the world’s media, Britain – a “Plague Island” led by a man who thinks “optimism is a substitute for hard truths and proper management” – is currently getting a good lesson in “what ‘reclaiming sovereignty’ means”. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/22/worlds-media-ask-how-it-went-so-wrong-for-plague-island-britain-covid
The senior donkey brays loudly but only listens to the braying of those who bow to his super-ego.

A man who makes cardboard buses needs a simple job he can actually do well in.
Told you so, when he boasted how great a mayor he was:
Much of the blame was on Boris Johnson, whose U-turn on Christmas had “once more shown the yawning gulf between the prime minister’s airy promises and the real world,” said Germany’s Die Welt.
Millions voted for a man who lied to them.
Promoted by the likes of Cummings and Farage.
The man prepared to lie to the Queen,
A man we can never respect.
Bumbling Boris.
On January 1, “Corona chaos would merge seamlessly into Brexit chaos. Few will then be able or willing to tell which bottleneck and which new emergency measure is due to what. But the frustration, if Johnson once more fails to keep his lofty promises, will be the same.”
The Sydney Morning Herald had a brutal answer. Britain’s response to the pandemic had been “mired in inaction, plagued by failures of the state to mobilise & Johnson’s destructive habit of promising false dawns simply because he cannot stand to be the bearer of bad news”.
Johnson “promised a ‘return to normal’ before the state was able to deliver. 'He' delivered a busted flush. Britons have extra cause to feel cheated. They have been whispered fantasies by a PM who thinks optimism is a substitute for hard truths & clear, consistent management.”
