  • Quote from James O'Brien: "Luckily there is a book available now in all good bookshops called "How they broke Britain" by James O'Brien, and that demonstrates that it is perhaps wrong now to bring analyses based on history and tradition and, crucially, on precedent into the uniquely corrupted eco-system in which we now find ourselves". Don't forget, dear reader that there's a precursor for Mr O'Brien's insightful work with the title: "Snippets...How Boris Beggared Britain" also available in all good bookshops. "How Boris Beggared Britain" confirms Mr O'Brien's view that analyses which draw upon past experiences are unhelpful when a bullying quasi-dictator has the country by its throat. "How Boris Beggared Britain" saw the brown stuff coming our way in 2018/19, almost before it had left Mr Johnson's hand and months before it hit the fan. It opens our eyes to the fact the Emperor was prancing around in the altogether. Way back then, "How Boris Beggared Britain" showed us how Mr Johnson was manipulating his electorate with unprecedented ruthlessly from his position of absolute power, controlled by a puppeteer who outdid even himself in his ruthlessness. Sept 2 2019. Johnson is a pathetic Etonian squirt totally in the thrall of his Svengali, Dominic Cummings, who is de facto leading the country. Unless a deus ex machina is found at the eleventh hour, our Little England philosophy will downgrade us to becoming the poor man of Europe. Sigh" The first edition of "Snippets" went to press in July 2022 and took us up to Partygate, concluding: "The core of Boris Johnson's failures can be found in his overweening desire to be popular...and dates, one imagines, from his days as a school prefect, striving for popularity amongst junior boys, 'fags" and the like. Lacking the sporting ability, of other prefects, Johnson had to rely on guile, subterfuge and cunning, all of which continue to serve him well to this day. Didn't his chum David Cameron call him "the Greased Piglet'' for his ability to cheat, lie and pass the buck? Johnson craves to be seen as "the modern- day Churchill"...In contrast to Churchill, Johnson has been revealed as a habitual liar, incapable of admitting or accepting responability for his misdeeds. The 17,213 people who received FPNs paid them with good grace; Johnson's escape route is: 'there was no intent to break the regulations', a route not open to ordinary citizens." "Snippets" concludes "The Rest is Mystery". Were ever truer words spoken?
