The thing about Boris Johnson is that he doesn't actually believe in anything, other than his own self-aggrandisement.
He's a vapid, vacuous con man who markets himself to vapid, vacuous racist fools, because he knows that's where his market is.
He's not a full blown racist - he'd never have the conviction to actually be a proper racist, he just likes to throw bones to racists, bones which he knows they'll love.
He's the perfect poster boy for the utter vapidity, cowardice, moronicism and total intellectual bankruptcy of "conservative" politics everywhere these days, a "politics" whose entire existence is based on nothing more than cheap, shit wind ups and a delusion that time can be reset to 1914.
He's a f**king pathetic figure.
