In the world we were in, he had to engage in a much lengthier discussion. One might go as far as to say he and Abbott were asked to lay down the intellectual foundations for the rightwingers of the Five Eyes . They were chaired by John O’Sullivan, who once advised Margaret Thatcher. He kept spooking himself out with random references to the “woke”, like a man shouting himself awake from a horrid dream. Sorry, how rude. I did not mean for one second to suggest he was awake.
We all know where Johnson stands on Ukraine, so there weren’t many surprises, although it was tickling to hear him describe Putin’s misconceptions about that invaded nation: “He believed his own Wikipedia-cum-Nostradamus nonsense, when he said that Ukraine wasn’t a proper nation.” You could hear the narcissistic projection in it.
