IT is unrealistic to imagine we can eradicate Boris. Every previous attempt to do so has failed. Instead we must face that Boris is now part of life and learn to live with it.
Yes, it will prove fatal to some. But there were always people dying of very similar strains of wealthy sociopath to Boris, and we have accepted and even celebrated that.
There will be those people who cannot live normal lives, such is their sensitivity to and aversion to Boris. They have our sympathy but we cannot run society for their benefit.
There are those who say that preventative measures should continue. Who place faith in antibodies the Sue Gray report and the police investigation. But these can only limit Boris for short periods, not wipe him out.
Some believe another lockdown could finish Boris. Yet the cost to us, to our economy, to ordinary British lives, will be incalculable. Far better to let Boris rip and pick up the pieces afterwards.
The country has largely developed immunity to Boris. Even the extreme shocks to public feeling caused by his parties have largely worn off. Eventually, the body is too exhausted to go through the raging effects and merely shrugs them off.
A novel politician like Boris, combining radical populism and Latin, was something the UK had no defence against. In time it will be no more than a minor irritation causing inflation and corruption of institutions.
Make no mistake, Boris is here to stay. And that is entirely your problem now.
