When someone is never held accountable for their actions they naturally become more and more emboldened and narcissistic in their behaviour.
Boris lacks the moral intelligence or moral fibre to feel guilty or to be even slightly affected by a conscience.
He lacks empathy, sympathy and compassion...he is a cold, callous and extremely calculated person...I am not politically aligned to any party but just on principle alone he should be forced to resign

[nadege]

Boris motto is don't explain unless you have to. Let scandals ride and never abdicate. He lacks the kind of shame his predecessors had

[hannahmillington]

And yet being like that has got him to be leader of the country - says a lot about our education and employment system and society in general.

[cramster]

The public school mantra: ' Never apologise; never explain'

Look up the definition of Sociopath and you have the perfect description of Boris Johnson.

[sbrown]

Johnson isn't a sociopath engaged in some deep self-enquiry. He's just a sociopath.

[harrish]

Interesting how many seemingly intelligent people in the past viewed Johnson as a bit of a funny man but reasonably harmless. He is not funny at all and he has proven beyond a shadow of doubt that he is far from harmless.,

[billywiz]

He's a Tory - what more needs to be said

[johnpirie]

I disagree with you James, he's a narcissist who has no conscience or moral scruples whatsoever.

[mike-in-fla]

100 people on the email. 100 people who are direct accomplices and enablers of Johnson's lies.

[annmowatt]

Brilliantly put, James. I really fear for all these charlatans. I also fear the horrendous, disastrous effects they are having on the country.

[geoffnewman]

its been a very long time since a minister has resigned when a glaring mistake has been made. There was a time when they did the honourable thing. I think the change occured under Thatchers reign and has been perpetuated ever since.

[pastryattack]

He avoids it because the media allow the Tories to use him as cover for their atrocities. This is no accident.

[bodricthered]

Still too hopeful James, there's no way he's aware in the manner you suggest.

[bumblingborisbuffoon]

Boris avoids the consequences of his actions by not showing up in Parliament or just hiding in the fridge.

[Flanneryshanedward]

He"ll ride the storm, wait for it to fade. Just like all the scandals. That's the real reason he laughs when questioned. Thinks it adds to his aura of being untouchable.

[anthonymcloughlin]

No matter how bad it gets, no matter how many lies are told, no matter how many pledges are broken, no matter what he does the gammons will still vote for him because “he got Brexit done” it’s all they care about.

[stephenjames]

Hes been honest about nothing all his life, kids, partners, colleagues, British public. He must be vile to really know.

[christinavuyk]

Sociopaths know what they are lacking and the nicer ones do try and emulate the finer feelings. He’s not one of that kind though 😐

[cavemanstv]

I think there should be a GOFUNDME page for a private prosecution because we won’t see police investigation here
