The man is a professional buffoon. He genuinely didn't know if he would be pro or anti brexit until the last minute. A game, smart opportunist. There's an essay online I can't find now where somebody sees him do the "Oh god, I've lost my speech, I'll just talk extemporaneously" schtik twice and realises the buffoonery is a deliberate strategy to disarm.
This one, I think - a brilliant essay. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/my-boris-johnson-story/
Yep thats the one. Thanks! And the spectator is no friend to socialism, quite the contrary. This is written by fellow journalist Jeremy Vine.
Article Title says Netherlands ; while Leiden is actually in Holland, let's not use Holland as it is too often mistaken as being the same as the Netherlands. Holland (north and south) is a part of the Netherlands.
That would not have been necessary, we would have sent the vaccines by Michiel de Ruyter Express.
