Boris Johnson 'a liar' who will blame Brexit costs on Covid, says diplomat
Sylvie Bermann, former French ambassador, puts PM’s handling of pandemic alongside Donald Trump’s

Boris Johnson is “an unrepentant and inveterate liar” who feels he is not subject to the same rules as others, Sylvie Bermann, the former French ambassador to the UK during the Brexit vote, says in a new book.

I’ve got an old broomstick. Let’s string it up, beat it relentlessly, and see what falls out.

American accounts completely underplay the sacrifice of Soviet lives during that campaign and the rest of war. You’d never know Russia had a Normandy every day for 5 months at Stalingrad.
