But these ruling fuckoids, all across the world, need to realise that there are far more of us than there are of them. And when you have a very small handful of (especially) unelected people actively working against the interests of the people they are supposed to serve...?

And we’ve also seen, throughout history, the inflexibility and brutality of mobs. I don’t think mob violence is the answer here (recognizing that you are being flippant).

Petronella Wyatt is one of Boris' many exes although I don't know whether they're still on good terms. I do not see it going well for Boris if he does try it, although he might be hoping that there are so many rival candidates that they all trip over themselves.

For the record… mobs storming anything makes me deeply uncomfortable. The situation in Sri Lanka is a bit different though. The economy has completely collapsed and the President has become authoritarian in stifling dissent; e.g., he declared a state of emergency so the military could have detention powers and freedom of the press has been mostly revoked. The Prime Minister just resigned today in response to the protests to allow an all-party coalition government to form to try to tackle the economic crisis; it's unclear where the President is.
