I'm also amazed by the number of Brits who tolerate Johnson's track record of telling demonstrable lies. "He's doung his best, that all we can do " many say of him, despite all evidence to the contrary. Heck, he was sacked as a journalist by euro sceptic newspapers in the 90s for just making up negative stories about the EU.
Still, Putin remains the experienced master of 'flooding the zone with shit', and then telling people that's exactly what he's doing.
