Gloss: Boris Johnson is Czech. There is no other explanation

Charisma and the career of Prime Minister Boris Johnson seem to include something Czech. An admixture that some of us are familiar with from a distance. We know the style from somewhere, don’t we?

It’s not just Johnson’s say clowning, inclinations to deceit and lifestyle . It can be hallmarked British, as well as the resistance or sympathy that arouses it.

But when BoJo launches on the topic of lockdowns) parties, we’re home now. He must have sent those excuses and excuses to us.

The only thing missing is the Prime Minister calling out to the commotion in the House of Commons: “That pig was hungry!”

) He responded to the latest in his covid trouble series, which the island media has been tracking for months, explaining: No one warned me it was impossible. “No one has told me that what we are doing is, as you say, against the rules, that the meeting in question is something that is not a work event.”

This was an event in Downing Street in May 2020, to which the Prime Minister’s Secretary sent out invitations saying that the participants were to ‘bring their own alcohol’. Or: in times of giant health disaster, the prime minister either had no idea what was going on in his office or did not know what citizens were allowed and what was forbidden. Or both. The British can choose the worse news

What such a working event looks like during the lockdown, for example in Teplice, but already previously described by other participants:

“I answer your questions that I visited the Prince de Ligne Hotel, but not the restaurant. “

” I dealt with the company’s director and accountant about the company’s finances. After all, as every month. “

” I found out that there was still a family meeting of Mr. Bendy On the place. After the mentioned meeting, I followed the other two participants and I formally congratulated Mr. Bend very briefly. Due to the evening, weather conditions and fatigue, I asked the staff at the hotel reception for accommodation. ”

Although there are some differences there are: Teplice in Bohemia is not Westminster, Jiří Šlégr, Jiří Paroubek and Vladislav Husák do not rule the nuclear powers and Milan Hnilička has submitted a parliamentary mandate. But the modus operandi remains: to do (or at least know with Johnson that something is being done) something wrong and to try to grind it with the method “deny a little, a little ashes on the head and the amount also disagrees.”

I cannot assess the current sensitivity of the British audience to papalism. I am not an expert on the standards of local political culture. But given how many similar cases he has been inclining and officially investigating in connection with Johnson and his people, his tenure seems like a small miracle. Or also as our style, maybe.

Or we’re all numb. If it had exploded the year before, Boris Johnson would have to command Roman Prymula after Vyšehrad. Maybe. Marian Jurečka : “Before the food was prepared and packaged for me, I sat on the bollard and the beer went on. I did not realize that I had violated government regulations. If I were aware of that, I wouldn’t have a beer or take pictures with it for social networks. “

But now it’s probably late.
