Johnson's real issue is that he doesn't respond well to scrutiny and accountability.
It's evident everywhere he goes.
Before he put himself into politics and up for the leader of the nation, he's said and done many things that would not qualify him for high office.
Back then though, he could glide by with his bluster and charm to the cries of "Oh, Boris!" without being held accountable and he was conditioned to think that he could get away with anything.
As he rose through the ranks, he still said and did many things that would disqualify him.
However, rather than be held accountable, his party colleagues and the hacks in the media roll their eyes and cry "Oh, Boris!" and let him off yet again.
Not only that, they encourage his behaviour and make excuses for him and by the time he puts himself up for the latest leadership campaign, his behaviour is not only encouraged, his lying, cheating and obfuscations are expected and even supported.
He calls an election and he takes himself into the real world and there's something wrong.
People aren't rolling their eyes, uttering "Oh, Boris!".
They are actually questioning him.
Holding him to account.
Not letting him get away with his bluff and bluster.
Even his friends in the cocktail party circuit are calling him out.
And he looks confused.
Freezing like a deer in the headlights.
He replies in soundbites as he's never had to explain himself before.
The public when he faces them aren't the same as the usual people around him.
When they smell bullsh*t, they call it.
Let's hope it's not too late for the public to cotton on to him and the rest of his gang of charlatans.
