adding the "commonly known as Boris the Betrayer" after the first line "Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson (born 19 June 1964)" i.e. the opening statement should be:

Categories missing from this article
[edit]Having committed a criminal offence
the subject of this article qualifies for category inclusion in -
Category:British_politicians_convicted_of_crimes
Category:Category:English_politicians_convicted_of_crimes 88.97.236.184 (talk) 13:34, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Not done: In law there is a distinction between committing an offence and being convicted of an offence. Article subject was determined by the filth to have committed an offence. This does not mean that he is convicted of an offence. Cambial — foliar❧ 13:46, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Nah - nice try, but: "Category:British politicians convicted of crimes says: ...."This category records crimes that are important to British politicians notability, which will in general be serious crimes. Normally summary offences, usually dealt with in magistrates' courts or similar, will not result in an entry here." Johnbod (talk) 13:58, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
"Johnson referred to the Roman statesman Cincinnatus. Some commentators noted that, while, as Johnson said, Cincinnatus returned to his plough, he was also later recalled to power"
[edit]Do we still need to include this sentence? It clearly implies Johnson will also return to power, despite the chances of that happening being slim to none. ThingsCanOnlyGetWetter (talk) 08:43, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
