Says the man hosting COP26



Sleaze row: UK is 'not remotely a corrupt country,' says Boris Johnson

Owen Paterson quit as an MP after being found to have breached lobbying rules and MP Sir Geoffrey Cox's second job as a barrister has now come under fire.

This from the man hosting a global project for which the word 'sleaze' is wholly, absurdly and even comically inadequate. Fascinating how framing is everything though.

I think he means "not a corrupt remote country", like Kazakhstan. The UK is corrupt, but not at all remote if you can feign an interest in global warming and want to doze off all day and party all night.

Sam - yes I bet that's it. I suppose if Brexit hadn't happened we would be "not remotely a country".
