A Real Clayton's Apology If Ever There Were One - I.e. the Apology You Give When You're Not Really Giving An Apology: Boris Johnson Bows Out, Suitably Chastened But Not Remotely Contrite...

In a Trumpesque 'anything but an apology and/or acknowledgment of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth' staringly him and every reasonable-minded onlooker blindingly in the face, Boris has bowed out...

...a colourful, idiosyncratic (and *in some ways iconoclastic even) character **the likes of which the United Kingdom and the watching world had seldom seen before and doubtless will never ever be seen again...

*Admittedly Johnson showed himself anything but an iconoclast when it came to fearlessly championing his lifetime idol and hero Sir Winston Churchill from folk who were themselves iconoclasts of the very first degree and very worst order.

**Although of course a similar statement/'argument' could obviously be made about Donald J Trump in his own respective sphere.
