Can you back that up?
Not even all Tories are liars: show me a clip of Ken Clarke or Rory Stewart lying. You are outright wrong to say that Johnson represents a common standard of politicians. He falls well, well short of even the most pessimistic expectations.
You're attempting to dismiss the complete collapse of standards at the highest office, as if it doesn't matter. We don't want "Britain Trump". We want someone who meets the basic expectations of high office. And we're realistic, we're not going to get a saint. But we have always had better than this, we are at a serious low point, and the rot must be stopped.
