You have people in Bosnia who need firm support from the UK as genocide deniers there grow in influence, and at precisely the same time you have a UK Prime Minister being smirking and evasive about a party he went to in lockdown. It's so grubby and degrading.
We had people in Afghanistan desperate for help and at the very same time we had a Foreign Secretary playing truant from his day job. It is such a grim joke that the UK government call themselves Global Britain. They govern for no-one but the people in their own WhatsApp group.
I will never, ever understand why people of limitless wealth go into politics. Maybe it's because their senses are so dulled by lives that are agonisingly free of struggle that they need this thrill. There seems no other reason these mediocrities would inflict themselves upon us.
They can't just go to the private sector and stay there, or blast off into space when they get bored: no, they need another bauble, they need to be important, they need to be talked about, and here we are. Every one else has to pay the price for their boredom. It's disgusting./
