Is Johnson Ok?
He seemed to me to have completely lost the plot. I heard he's had a cold all week. Hope he hasn't got long Covid.

he got those things because of his family and his old school ties… not his merits.
Going to Eton is a privilege for families with money or connections it is not a reward for hard work or exceptional talent… and if you go to Eton then the rest is a matter of course.
he was not a successful journalist… can’t think of a single “scoop” he achieved in his career, and he was sacked for dishonesty… even he has admitted that several of his stories were made up. Other than that he wrote amusing opinion pieces for bigoted people.

I am not sour! I don't really care if people use their family/friends to get ahead - I firmly believe that it's who you know rather than what you know. All of us do that...
I do find it very annoying when people who have done that are presented as being something they are not though...
