BORIS Johnson had his chance before his god, the legal teams, and those groups represented to set the record straight. Instead, he went on an extended trip through the foggy landscape of his mind, the empty vessel that is his brain.
After reading his testimony, there can be little doubt remaining that all he cares about now is self-preservation. It is almost as if he has a restraining order in place preventing the truth from approaching him. It is quite shocking to see that his recent public outing as a liar has taught him no humility. But that would be common among the inbred class from which he comes.

He will never be without a job, he will never be forced to choose between heat or eat. So why should someone who possesses such little understanding of empathy have a care?
Johnson has always been about “me, myself, and I”. He is so typical of all that is rancid with the Union, and all that is corrupt with government.
Quite simply, we need out of this union.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
