    As an Italian who grew up in the 90s and 00s, I've always felt a little ashamed to call myself Italian after having Berlusconi in power for so long.
    I have to thank the US Republicans and the UK Tories, because now I don't feel any shame whatsoever. I now understand that we Italians aren't degenerate: we're trailblazers and innovators, and the US and UK are merely picking up what we've done and made it 100 times worse. Thank you, Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, for lifting that weight off my shoulders.

    I will never forget the day I arrived home from my little sisters funeral, she had taken her own life and both my family and myself were in pieces, we had yet to find out about how the police (that consecutive conservative governments had failed to properly fund), had failed her. We were all too caught up in our grief, the only other thing I felt that day was anger that my sister's friends couldn't attend her funeral, they stood out on the street all socially distanced, they couldn't even hug each other let alone join our family in saying goodbye to someone we all loved so dearly, all based on rules Boris Johnson presided over. That day we got home and after a few minuets of silence my mum put the TV on for some background noise, only to find a story was breaking, the mock press conference video was playing on the BBC along with downing street denials of any wrong doing. I can't even begin to describe how I felt seeing that. I admit I was no fan of Boris being that I was well aware that Boris's indecision/refusal to listen to expert advice at the start of the pandemic, which may well have cost tens of thousands of British lives, or that fact he played a massive part in obliterating our economy, but how can anyone defend this absolute monster of a person? How can anyone actually think that this utter clown being anywhere near British politics is anything but another absolute disaster waiting to happen?

      If Boris shot someone in broad daylight on Oxford Street, Jacob Rees-Mogg would appear on the news to say: “Well firstly let’s establish the facts, or proto est equipriem protat, Mr Johnson has explained quite clearly that he was unaware the gun was loaded, and despite witnesses seeing him loading the gun moments before, he assures us he has no recollection of doing so. On the point of the supposed victim not being armed, I am yet to see conclusive proof that wasn’t the case. Eyewitness accounts vary greatly, from those who were there to those who weren’t. And what is critical to note is that the CCTV footage was put forward by a police inspector who had a packet of paracetamol in his pocket. Now if he had suffered from a headache, his concentration could have been off, and that discounts the credibility of the entire investigation. Therefore Boris should be released immediately.”

    Johnson has just made millions for making a few speeches ??! Incidentally, while he was supposed to be looking after his constituents .
