I have to say I listened to Johnson's speech yesterday with incredulity.
I know he was speaking those tin-eared activists whose skin is so thick that they're actually prepared to campaign in for the May elections - but in the current context the tone was appalling and the content vacuous.

When was his content anything but vacuous? He’s always struggled beyond 3 word slogans

Though in BoJo's defence, nothing he says is any worse than the anodyne platitudes from the cardboard cutout leader of HM Opposition who doesn't even appear to know what a woman is.

I'm not affiliated to any party.
Starmer can't tell my daughters what a woman is. That makes him cretin in the eyes of at least 50% of the population.

Just as an aside, is there anyone out there - politician or not - who can claim to have the precise, satisfy everyone, offend no-one, technically and anatomically robust, definition of gender, sexuality, identity, and all of the areas where those characteristics overlap?
If there is, it would be great if they could step out of the shadows, enlighten the rest of us and hopefully persuade the chattering media to shut the fuck up about it and focus its attention on those issues which - being honest here - are probably more relevant to the majority. Politics is after all, at least in part, about majorities. Well, it used to be, back when we were less enlightened (which seems to have become interchangeable with fucked up).
