So, what I want to know is, is “Big Dog” a long-standing nickname, or is this its inaugural outing? I refer to Operation Save Big Dog, aka the planned sacrifice of Downing Street officials implicated in “partygate” in the name of saving their boss, Boris Johnson, who is — oh yes, that is where this sentence is going — the aforementioned “Big Dog”. Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be a kennel we can send him to.
Who would have guessed that Boz would be the kind of boss who makes his underlings take the fall for him? Sorry, that was a rhetorical question. Anyone who’s ever heard of the Prime Minister in passing would be able to make an educated guess he would not preside over a hierarchy that preaches fairness and strong leadership — unless by strong leadership you mean “a strong sense that one should not be held accountable for anything”. It’s pretty hard to feel sorry for the partygate posse, although the only person it’s harder to feel less sorry for is Big Dog himself.
