[Bojo] is taking the suicide-bomber theory of electoral politics — make it past the gate then blow sh*t up — to the next level. The left (everywhere, not just in the UK) is going to be on the back foot until it starts to consider an epochal political project: what would it take to deter this kind of thing? The answers will not be pretty, and they won’t conform to the left’s warm-fuzzy pieties. But in the absence of effective deterrents, gangsters will take over more and more nations, and the populations will be given a choice: become Greece or become Russia.
