Sat with a friend tonight who blindly refused to accept Boris was in the wrong. "Iran, not Boris, is in the wrong here. My boy Boris? Nope."
Under the radar Tory - passionate, party committed, mid 30s. Shame really as a sound fellow and good friend, unless news is raised. Then it's shutters down, true blue.
There's talk about the party supporters ageing and becoming redundant, but it's undoubtedly true that there's a hell of a lot of people out there who quietly support the party through thick or thin "as long as it keeps the reds out, that's the main thing"

I think your Friend might be my dad. I can well see him as a boris sympathiser.

^ This. I've never quite understood this absolute tribalism thing. There are many on all sides who take it as a personal insult if you point out that their pet party / favourite politico might have done something you disagree with or could have done / be doing something better (and then you get labelled the opposite and shouted down, regardless of your actual persuasion). Is something less wrong because the person what done it is on 'your team'? #mustbedoingitwrong

It's always weird those conversations... it's possible both Iran and Boris did something wrong...yet it's often either / or.
Amnesty thinks the UK is fishing for trade deals with Iran and doesn't want to rock the boat too much.

"Iran, not Boris, is in the wrong here. My boy Boris? Nope."
This seems to be the party line. "It's all Iran's fault, they are the real baddies". Well, yes, they are, but that does not excuse our bumbling fuckwit of a foreign minister handing them the ammunition to extend the incarceration of a British citizen. It's just weak blame shifting and distraction from the fact that Boris just does not have the temperament for high office or any actual sense of responsibility to the people he is supposed to serve.
