Review history. Watergate. Nixon also lied incessantly. His entrenched supporters refused to demand what was proven necessary.

However, once his lies were too glaringly obvious, the stampede to stop supporting him was massive and fast.

Johnson (like the American extremist president) will lie incessantly while refusing to give in. We know Brexit was promoted by lies. That is not even debated any more. The lies must be so massively obvious. And then a Conservative party stampede must happen to get him to concede.

All this is causing a serious discussion about the need for a UK Constitution. For example, is it legal for Boris Johnson to lie to the Queen? Only extremists deny all this lying has been ongoing. A denial that will continue in the Conservative Party until a stampede suddenly happens.

However that will probably happen to late to save the British economy from damage that will be created by Brexit.
