theres no looking into it involved becasue they know pricesly how it happens and revealing it exposes how incestuous and intimate and grubby 'journalism' is.

Yeah, that's what I mean by nobody wants to look into it. Similar situation to this stuff with the reports of the whips threatening and blackmailing people.

i wonder a bit what it must like to be him right now. strange to think of him hauling his carcass into bed and staring at the ceiling trying to work out what to do, which he surely must do.

And party politics itself. It's like I Claudius, or better still, House of Cards - I love it.

Just to make it clear, the other day I was talking about the boring "middle-brow" bit of political debate - I didn't mean this stuff, the manoeuvring and backstabbing, this is the low-brow stuff, if it was a film it would be... a trash film obviously, but which one? Something enjoyably fun to watch anyhow.
It would be great to know the truth and have it compiled so as to give us the full story which would read like one of those great historical power struggle novels such as The Accursed Kings. I doubt that we will ever get that though. In time probably everyone involved will write their version, coloured by bias and self-aggrandisement and making it very clear that everything went wrong was someone else's fault. Maybe reading loads of them might allow one to work out the truth but so far into the future I'll have lost interest.
So we're very much outsiders peering in trying to figure out what is happening. Beyond the obvious - Johnson is a reckless fool whose actions have left him exposed and vulnerable, and now person or persons unknown are taking advantage of that - I doubt we'll learn much for the mo.

Boris using the US genuflect role to absorb the war scenario as an attempt to subvert partygate attention is certainly a novel one
Maybe he needs to visit his handler

More likely...
Bozza: You're breaking international law Vlad
Vlad: Yes, but only in a specific and limited way.
Not even a shadow of a doubt that that will be one of the strategies he will employ. This is a big part of the problem with what's going on now and something that people who say "It's only a cake" or whatever are totally missing. Johnson's priority is to "save Big Dog" as he allegedly put it and if I say that the national interest is at best a distant second, I mean an embarrassingly distant second, a second place that has been double-lapped by the winner. If someone comes along and says "I can sort this out for you but you have to raise interest rates to twenty percent, lock the UK into a deal to buy all of their oil from Uzbekistan for a hundred years and make Peter Sutcliffe the Archbishop of Canterbury" he'll say "Sure, where do I sign?".

Just another iron in the fire.
I'm sure loads have read de Montaigne "on diversion" but there's good paragraph in it I like
& no doubt dozens have tried to talk about Boris through such a reference, i think its a pretty standard thing when they talk about his approach to politics- i think he's even been found to talk about it before publicly.
The approach in this instance will drag him further into the mire though I think. It is one thing to talk about a land war in Asia* but this is probably more about US strategic NATO influence than it necessarily about Ukraine in and of itself.
If you look at the countries admitted into NATO over the last 15-20 years they're your Albania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Latvia etc. All these gaffs strategically positioned against the Russians and no doubt full of US stationed power now, a nuke or two. So Ukraine is just a pin on the map to regain a bit of strength i think. It's like how the Yanks take intermittent runs at Iraq and why everyone wanted to get stuck into Afghanistan
Now, the Germans have blocked Estonian weapon transfer and are defacto in charge of Europe, resisting supposed NATO consensus. Boris however needs a situation where he can show a bollock and will offer troops up to avoid retribution for having some malbec and a boot.
It might be a cold year
