The British Establishment first and foremost protects its own. Johnson will never face punishment. It would open a can of worms they'd much prefer was kept shut. Until its strangle hold is addressed Westminster will never be capable of supporting a modern democracy.
23,000 people died because Boris Johnson was too busy walking a dog, riding a motorbike and hosting guests as he took four days off at Chevening, instead of addressing warning signs of the pandemic
Why isn't Boris Johnson in jail?
