ReplyDeleteyou could've picked a name, otherwsie there will be some people that think I'm sucking my own... honestly.. they will.
ReplyDeleteI have a source who's out there and he told me that it is, as Finkelstein says, factional infighting. Also that to some extent, it's a criminal matter as much as a political powerplay.
ReplyDeleteThe BBC line on widespread support for Johnson is apparently true, however. That wouldn't cut much ice here with, say, the Mafia and it's not cutting much ice there with what is effectively a crime family.
