The mystery of Boris Johnson who does not know to read the speeches that are too long

LONDON. In Westminster, there are those who say that Downing Street now commands the "attention deficit syndrome". Why Boris Johnson seems to be like Donald Trump. According to the Sunday Times, would not be able to hold the attention for more than a few minutes, especially with regard to the government documents the most important and very often boring. Yet the british prime minister studied at Eton, graduated at Oxford, he knows the Iliad to memory in the ancient Greek, as evidenced by a viral video on Twitter dating back to when he was mayor.

However, to read the minutes and messages are articulated and riservatissimi government, Johnson just doesn't seem to do it. That's why, according to the newspaper in london, the staff of the premier has imposed on all employees, and adviser, not to write texts that are longer than four pages intended for Boris. On the contrary, the ideal size is two A4 pages, written, moreover, in the easiest way possible. Otherwise, Dominic Cummings gets angry: the “rasputin” or “wheelchair user” of Boris already, he would have made the scenes terrible to all the writers, authors of texts that are too complex for the “King Boris”.

Texts, which then go on to finish in the canonical “the red box”, the cassette “red” of the then liberal prime minister William Gladstone in 1853, and then precious container of the most important documents of the Chancellor of the Exchequer (Finance minister) and the premier, so much so that today there are literally bomb-proof, and cost over 1000 euro. Famous were the nights of Margaret Thatcher, who preceded Johnson in Downing Street, to study the files of papers and reports by its employees, with the light to the number ten (almost) always on. But Boris is not like her. Boris is like his friend Donald.

Boris Johnson, meanwhile, is in his country residence Chevening, it seems, from a week, after a long absence that has attracted much criticism: the premier, in fact, it did not see even during the severe floods in Yorkshire and in much of the North of England, suffers from a number of storms in the last weeks, and went to comfort the peoples affected (you had to go there, Prince Charles). So much so that in recent days has impazzato on Twitter the hashtag, “Where Is Boris?”. What happened to Boris?
