The prime minister’s obsession with Churchill is making him look to some like the patriotic guardian-in-chief of statues, standing alone against those who would rewrite Britain’s history, writes Sean O'Grady

Distraction politics is an art discovered by politicians,exclusively for them.

Distraction politics = propaganda and shock therapy. Nothing new

I love Boris, although he'd struggle to pour water out of a boot with the directions on the bottom. As he's an outsider, I'd like his perspective on humanity. Some like to inspire happiness wherever they go, Boris inspires happiness whenever he goes! Kleptocratic cockwomble.
