Shameless Boris - Johnson’s EU-Hitler analogy

IF Boris Johnson — former mayor of London, David Cameron’s bête noire and the leader of Britain’s ‘Leave’ campaign in the EU membership referendum was a buffoon it would be possible to discount his weekend outburst, when he compared the European Union’s ambitions to Hitler’s.

However, he is not a buffoon, so the outburst takes on an altogether more sinister and nasty complexion.

It may be outrageous but it is not surprising — Johnson’s position on the EU has far more to do with his ambitions to lead the Conservative party than it has to do with principle.
