Online Public Relations Thoughts

 Boris Johnson's sudden resignation from parliament apparently was an attempt to beat the rap recommended by a committee investigating his behavior as a Prime Minister.  The committee concluded in a just-released report that Johnson had misled parliament over breaches of his own COVID-19  lockdown rules, and it had proposed suspension of Johnson for long enough to spark a by-election.  Johnson has reacted with fury but his popularity has waned and unlike Trump, he isn't carrying voters with him.  Thus ends the political career of one of Britain's more controversial PMs. The lesson once again is to avoid lying to the public in the internet age.  The truth will come out whether from a cell phone camera or a social media post.  Johnson knew that, or, if he didn't, he does now.
