Danmark vs Britain. From what I read occasionally in Dominic Cumming's blog, Boris isn't particularly good at using the bureaucracy.

Not to defend Johnson, but DC has an axe to grind.

Absolutely true, the most realistic post about business that I've red in time

you are complaining about Boris, you have to see here in Spain to Pedro Sanchez, it's a completely mess

Given even just Johnson’s COVID history — banned unnecessary gatherings under penalty of fines with a large publicity campaign, attended at least eight of the at least sixteen unnecessary gatherings at No. 10 (including his birthday and a Christmas party), caught COVID and almost died from it, repeatedly asserted that there had not been any party and that if that no rules wrote broken, was fined for breaking the rules, and still hasn’t resigned — I dread to think what you have in mind for Mr Sanchez.

What's this fuss about parties and rules? If these are biggest issues you worry about, then your country is being run by some very good politicians who ensured that there are no other bigger problems for you to worry about.

That's an interesting take on subverting the rule of law. Most law breaking in Western Democracies by first ministers is probably not as obvious?

Johnson also, with the help of the Queen, unlawfully prorogued (ie ended the session of) parliament in order to avoid democracy acting against him.

He lost two previous jobs for lying (in politics and journalism; you have to try really hard to lose a post for lying in either occupation it seems). Apart from his handlers I can't see how anyone would employ him for any role.

He's very bright, his team manipulate the news/news cycle in similar way to Trump, and it's documented fact that he purposefully plays the fool.

first world problems. lol
