Kakistocracy XLV:We're Going On A Witch Hunt.

"Why not go the full way, put Boris in the stocks and provide rotten food to throw at him. Move him around the marginals so the country could share in the humiliation" - James Duddridge

Great suggestion, James. To which I can only add "it'd be a start". The strange thing, however, is that James Duddridge, the outgoing Conservative MP for Rochford and Southend East, is one of Johnson's (let's never call him Boris again) key supporters and he actually said this in support of our lying and criminal toerag former PM. If that's what his supporters have to say about him, imagine how (most of) the rest of us feel.

Johnson, since I last wrote, has been found guilty of not just having parties during lockdown but knowingly misleading the house and would probably have been forced to either resign or face a by-election if he didn't stand down. Don't worry about him though. He's making lots of money, millions of pounds already since leaving number ten and now he's been given a Daily Mail column or, as News Thump put it - rather succinctly and accurately - "arsehole to write bollocks in shitrag".

Has Johnson been apologetic? Has he shown remorse or even a basic understanding of what he did was wrong? No, of course he fucking hasn't. Him and his supporters have attacked the Privileges Committee that they agreed to because they didn't like their 109 (ONE HUNDRED AND NINE) pages of findings about Johnson's terrible behaviour.

The committee was headed by Labour's Harriet Harman so, obviously, that's one of the angles of attack they took. But the committee of seven (which also featured the SNP's Allan Dorans and Labour's Yvonne Fovargue) had a majority of Tories. The four being Bernard Jenkin, Alberto Costa, Charles Walker, and Andy Carter so to accuse it of leading a "witch hunt" seems a bit rich.

One of the main Johnson supporters accusing it of being a witch hunt is Nadine Dorries. The woman who some years ago worried about tidal wave of immigrants from Yugoslavia (a country that ceased to exist in 1992) 'coming over here' has, over the years, claimed the Telegraph's investigation into MP's expenses was a witch hunt and she called the investigation into her appearance on I'm A Celebrity when she was supposed to be serving as an MP (and being paid for doing so) a witch hunt.

Perhaps, when you're an actual fucking witch, everything starts to look like a witch hunt. In the shitrag Daily Mail, Dorries wrote about the "sinister forces" that stopped her, "a girl born into poverty in Liverpool" from reaching the House of Lords. The level of entitlement is completely insane. The only reason she got anywhere near the House of Lords is because she's spent the last few years defending the indefensible behaviour of Boris Johnson. Ultimately, as he does to everyone, he fucked her over - and not in the way she wanted him to.

Dorries is an embarrassment to British politics. She loudly announced her resignation but, of course, she hasn't actually resigned yet. She's waiting for the time it will cause maximum damage. Not just to Rishi Sunak but to the Tories and, ultimately, to the country. She has only bothered voting in the House of Commons six times in the last years and has spoken once, constituents in Mid Bedfordshire say she never answers their letters or emails, never holds surgeries, and is never seen in the area.

Instead she prefers to stay in her country retreat in the Cotswolds where she does far more interviews with the media than she does actual work. It'll be a blessed relief when she finally leaves - hopefully forever - frontline politics. But, like Johnson, she will carp away from the sidelines for as long as she can, a thorn in the side for anyone who wants to use politics to do some good for the country.

Boris Johnson should never return as an MP, he most certainly shouldn't have an honours list (which includes many of those who partied while the rest of us couldn't even hold the hands of dying loved ones), and his name should have a black cross attached to it in history books forever as the man who poisoned British politics with his lies, corruption, and criminality.

But it's not just Johnson, it's those who supported him - and that includes our incumbent PM Rishi Sunak. There are several up coming by elections (including in Johnson's Uxbridge and South Ruislip seat). It is imperative, existentially imperative, that the Conservatives are not returned in any of these seats. It is vital that their vote share is utterly annihilated. They've done too much damage. They must not be allowed to do any more.
