Put a posh accent on someone and many people automatically start boot licking. Tend to find it is especially the upwardly mobile types that come from working class routes that are the biggest sycophants as well.likes a pint, apparently a hit with the ladies, sheltered by family wealth, hawked through the right schools, grubs up to the excessively wealthy.
boris is an example to a certain type of oaf of 'getting on', it's not about merit or achievement, it's about bluff and bluster - hoodwinking the people you can steal from.
History is littered with them, liars always run out of road, you can't fool all the people all the time. And once your card is marked you're dirt filth lying scum forever. Those crying for poor dearest boris are the same twits* that line up teary eyed to sing rule britania at the last night of the proms. Locked in their memories of faded glory and a time when they and their chums meant something. Time moves on and thankfully takes some of a certain ilk with it even faster.
It’s like they want to be part of the gang.
