Someone, deep inside the belly of the Conservative Party, came up with the wheeze of using WW2 military terms to define Brexit so we have the 'Surrender Bill' to describe the act to stop a no deal Brexit, MP's supporting the Bill called 'traitors' and labelling the EU as 'dictators'.
That the Prime Minister said the best way to honour the MP stabbed to death by a right wing Brexit supporter while she campaigned for the opposite is a particular low and to then say to a female MP that her concerns that his language could fuel further violence against MP's was 'humbug' is reprehensible.
Given his week included being accused of lying to the Queen and Parliament, Mr Johnson seems to have taken a leaf from the Donald Trump school of charm and struck a confrontational posture, drawing links to the under fire American President.
Thankfully due to OFCOM rules, British broadcasters bear little resemblance to the highly partisan US networks although the self-regulated Press have a freer hand to play into the role Boris is trying to portray, with the right wing newspapers being particularly keen on the latest Boris persona.
Less than 24 hours after Johnson ignored the warning about the effect of his language on the toxic atmosphere in the UK, a man attacked the office of one of those MP's who told him that lives were in danger.
The Conservatives need to rein in their leader as we know exactly what kind of a man he is and they need to ask themselves is he really fit to run the country and lead their party, because we know that if this goes on another MP will die.
