LOL this is how the article starts.
>Last week, Boris Johnson, with his paintbrush and easel at his holiday villa in Marbella, touched up his self-portrait as the reincarnation of Winston Churchill. Meanwhile, another bodysnatcher, Johnson’s Brexit tsar, David Frost
What does that have to do with anything other than setting up an us vs them negative narrative? From the very first paragraph you know what type of article you’re going to get and, spoilers, it not even going to attempt to be balanced or explain both sides of an intractable situation.
Fintan, you’re better than this.
To any objective person, Boris has been quite restrained in the face of huge provocation, particularly from France’s belligerence threatening to cut off power, their fish fiasco etc – is this the fight the Guardian is referring to?
The guardian is basically just pro eu propaganda at this point. Seriously, this article is awful for any paper.
