oh i am sure he has. perhaps in the middle of the night once, when he woke with the sensation that something appalling was about to happen and it was all his fault. then i expect he turned over and went back to sleep

And meanwhile, somewhere else in the capital, yet another newborn with a suspicious crop of blonde hair took its first lungful of air...

i can see him panicking and freaking out quite a lot. but to feel genuine sadness requires some emotional depth I wouldn't associate with someone as cold-hearted and selfish as him.

What I meant by 'performative' is that I'm not sure there even is a genuine Boris Johnson, if there ever was. He seems to be one of those people who adopt a persona but then come to inhabit it so completely that they're no long aware their actions are based on thinking 'What would my character do in this situation?' rather than actually acting naturally. I believe they commonly fit the technical definition of 'pychopath', these people.
All of which I guess makes Pickman's model (and Truman Capote, obvs) spot on about 'genuine fakes'.
I'm becoming increasingly concerned that all this intense and focused remembering for Amess might leave the country with a potential shortage of remembering when poppy day comes around. I'm not saying everyone should start panic remembering but you probably should.

I look forward to the news footage of the civil disorder that ensues when some gammon tries to push his way to the front of the queue shouting 'Battle of Britain! The Blitz! Dunkirk landings!", even though he was born in 1962.

Alleged killer was certainly known to the authorities; wen through the 'Channel' programme:
David Amess killing: suspect referred to Channel counter-terror scheme in 2014

This [e2a: what brogdale posted] is inevitable, of course. They've now cast the pre-crime net so racial/religious-profilingly wide that anyone who is brown and has so much as considered blowing a raspberry at the telly when a junior minister is on has at some point been 'referred to the Prevent programme'.

IKWYM, but if the 2020 figures referred to in the Guardian piece are any guide (?)...the totals getting put through to Channel are not so great.

I have no idea whether that's way too many or not nearly enough. Which is probably the intention - enough to make you think 'fucking hell, that's a lot of dangerous people' but not so many that you think 'well, at least they probably got all of them'.

Well, yeah; who knows.
But in 2019 the HO was proudly saying this:
Suppose they'll have to change that to 779 now?
I’ve already said: fun. That’s why most people go to the pub, isn’t it? To have a bit of fun. And if my opinions offend you, shuffle up a bit closer to your mates, have another beer and get over it.
So what was your point? Swallow a battery and maybe get a bit of a stomach ache?
Channelling your inner Mrs. Danvers towards the end of your reply, I see.
Paraphrasing this forum:
“Fuck the government. They don’t care about diversity or making sure everyone’s opinions are heard, however challenging they might be”
Quoting this forum:
Hmm.

Someone thought they could id you as a former poster.
I thought I had id'd you as well.
Different poster.
But I was very, very wrong.
Are you offering grudging respect or maintaining a loyal disdain?
