Ever the Old Etonian- Boris Johnson mask-less in Wembley
A picture has appeared of Boris Johnson being driven away from the England’s European football semi-final on Wednesday. All the occupants of the car are wearing masks except Johnson although doing so in confined spaces (such as transport) is current Government guidance.
The official response was that Johnson was about to put his mask on which seems unlikely as the picture suggests he was comatose after over-celebrating at Wembley.
Johnson can never seem to transcend the class perspective he learnt at Eton
Sonia Purnell’s 2012 biography of Johnson, Just Boris, contains some interesting extracts from his school reports at Eton which suggest that he learnt what he could get away with there and has not changed since.
His personal tutor Andrew Hobson wrote a report which says in part ‘I think he honestly believes that it is churlish of us not to regard him as an exception, one who should be free of the network of obligation which binds everyone else’.
