I'm starting to get fascinated by this silly looking man.
I find it funny how the progressive/reactionary dualism framed him as backward looking and Corbyn as a bringer of possibly dangerous "real change", while, the more I think about it, the opposite seems to be true.
Corbyn is the reactionary, he speaks in the language of a dead modernism about "industrial revolutions" and rights or services we should want to get back. The "change" he fantasies is more like a return, to a time before privatisation or before neoliberalism or before the Tories or before whatever.
Boris may attract the conservative leaning, but his free trade wet dreams exist in the future. I don't know what his endgame is with Brexit, but I'm tremendously curious to know. This man has been the mayor of the world's financial capital and has managed to landslide an election in these unpredictable times. I deeply dislike everything he stands for but I'm starting to get the impression that he understands something about the current day and age (and its future), which most people are too stuck in whatever to grasp
