Hi Mic, regarding your first line: do you think Johnson’s obsession with Saving Christmas is purely for tabloid consumption or is it more than that (i.e. his own hobbyhorse)? Last winger he, at a conservative estimate, got an unnecessary 20,000 people killed in his effort to ‘save Christmas’. This year he’s been creating all these visas expiring on 24 Dec, focused purely on delivery drivers and…turkey pluckers. And there’s been quite a few stories on government efforts to secure turkeys in Brazil, France and elsewhere. What is going on? Don’t they have bigger fish to fry? Living abroad it seems insane, but is it rational in terms of themes tabloids like to write about?
