Your Letters: November 6

I'VE NO WISH TO BE A POLITICIAN

While I do spend a lot of time criticising politicians, even if I were 40 years younger I could not be one myself. First reason is I have a conscience plus I would have to tell world leaders what I thought of them as well as any politician who I believed was misleading the public. I would also want to avoid going to countries that I felt were not up to scratch. 

I wouldn't want to meet Donald Trump or Benjamin Netanyahu and I have no wish to meet Boris Johnson. From the start I have intensely disliked Dominic Cummings and Nigel Farage. I don't do these things on a whim, I get as much information as I can then analyse the things they are saying. 

Dominic Cummings for instance spent three years in Russia where he started an airline that went broke after its first trial flight without passengers. In Russia he got a taste for governments with a few hard leaders who would keep us plebs in our place and like Putin he would not sully his plans with inconvenient truths. 

Boris Johnson had been dismissed twice at least for bending the truth, had been described by colleagues as a prolific liar and treated wives and mistresses with contempt. When he was at Oxford he spent one evening in the bar belittling an academic high flyer from the north. This was the same obnoxious attitude that Nigel Farage displayed in the European Parliament.
