Though Yours Truly overnight felt that a special letter to Prime Minister Johnson would have achieved the desired result - and in a more seemly fashion, surely, and infinitely less humiliating to Boris than what has been transpiring blow by blow, hour upon hour, over recent days -
the game is over, the writing's on the wall, for none other than Boris Johnson himself...
As a noted prophet said of a partying king (Belshazzar), self-indulgent to the very last whilst his empire was crumbling all around him,
God hath numbered thy [administration], and finished it.
Thou art weighed in the [political] balances, and art found wanting.
Thy prime ministership is [splintered into smithereens], and given to [one better than yourself].
*'Apologies' to the Older Testament biblical prophet Daniel, I simply couldn't resist...
**'Taken' (so to speak - in very generous paraphraseology) from Daniel chapter six (King James Bible).
