The end is nigh

 Everything has an end, entropy demands that. Even the universe will come to an end, matter will cease to exist and energy will be so far dissipated as to become meaningless, time too will end. If there is nothing happening then time will have no meaning.

On a happier note, the reign of Boris Johnson is beginning to show all the signs of terminal decline as his own backbenchers are turning away from him in their droves. History shows us that there tends to be a snowball effect, and we can hope that his demise is not too far away. We have had some not so good prime ministers, but most of them have had some endearing characteristics, Boris has none. He will go down as the worst PM that this country has ever had, and it really is time that he fell on his sword. He has single handedly dragged his party into depths that are new even to the Tory party, and for that the old guard will never forgive him.

The by election today could precipitate his fall, though, the lack of a good opposition, and the innate belief that the Tories can do no wrong, may see a Tory elected. We can but hope that people come to their senses. I won't hold my breath.
