Some of the stuff you listed happened after Johnson won (or came to light after his victory), and before he resigned in disgrace, so doesn’t particularly serve the point you are making.
- gghhzzgghhzz 4y agohe wrote Seventy Two Virgins (the book having a character who loved money, had a hocked nose and jewish name) in 2004. he continuously wrote racist, sexist and homophobic comments in his articles since. His relationship with Jennifer Arcuri and public spending implications was out before 2019. It was all out in the public domain. It was the media's jobs to ignore this and pretend the main issue was one case where Corbyn liked a photo on facebook that he later claimed he hadn't paid enough attention to and apologised for (Johnson has never apologised or been called on to apologise)
- fshbbdssbbgdd 4y agoI haven’t looked into this question before, but it’s fascinating to compare the second-hand characterizations of what Johnson has apologized for with his direct quotes: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-piccaninnies-letterbox-apology-b1884677.html?amp https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson...
