John, here's a quote from Stanley Johnson (an “uncooperative crusty” and father of prime minister Boris Johnson) speaking this week at Extinction Rebellion in London.
“But this is the point: what really influences politicians is the sense that out there in the streets, out there in the post offices, out there in the great wide world, there is a great mass of people who approve of what they want."
Sounds like some family differences... Stanley let the kid, and the world, know where he stands. They're not politicians, but will you
