Boris Johnson is committed to presenting us all with that difficult moral dilemma.

Not only did he clearly bring this on himself by acting incredibly foolishly, but he brought it on himself in order to *deliberately spread disinformation*...

which surely *got other people killed* in order to *advance his own political interests* those interests being, incidentally, *racism, bigotry, and oligarchy.*

not only did he shoot himself, but he shot himself in the act of spraying bullets every which way in order to claim britain for racist bullshittery.

it's difficult to work up a lot of sympathy, is what I'm saying.
