Boris & Stephen : both more intent on protecting one individual that protecting their electorate

Couldn’t save 30,000 but will save Dominic

At first, second and even at third glance, Boris-the-Tory and Stephen-the-Grit seem to have nothing in common.

Yet both are increasingly so embroiled in defending one individual over that of their entire electorate that both are in danger of being swept out in the next election  ——-even though they were recently hugely popular.

Loyalty to friends & family is widely admired but in the case of  elected politicians, at some point it has to give way to fulfilling their day job.

Because their thousands or millions of employers hired them, at a hefty wage, to look after their interests.

The average voter feels that if you want to work all day protecting family and friends - great do it : but have them pay the nickel —- not us.

Can’t argue with that logic can you ?

 Not unless you are Stephen-Boris.....
