How Britain got Boris
The Tory vote on average increased 6 per cent in Leave constituencies. Brexit inflated into a vision of salvation for deeply embittered people. Today, Remainers blame Corbyn for an outcome they themselves were most culpable for. The turning point was not Corbyn's programme but his concession to Remainers. Every UK newscast now consists of overpaid anchors blaming Corbyn alone, whose programme their bosses want to rub out. Boris Johnson, effete and elite, is appointed saviour of the working class. Call this dispiriting election result a BBC production and you wouldn't be far wrong.
