Partygate...

Maybe I should take more interest in what the press insists on calling ‘partygate’ (as it’s fully fifty years since the Watergate scandal, isn’t it time we retired the ‘-gate’ suffix?). But learning that members of the ruling class were clinking wine glasses, while the rest of us were languishing in lockdown, is so unsurprising that I can’t summon up the requisite degree of righteous indignation. Boris Johnson has so many other, more important cases to answer. Maybe his demise will be like Al Capone’s, who, after a career of bootlegging, racketeering and murdering his gangster rivals, was finally put behind bars for the rather mundane crime of tax evasion.
