When Stanley says 'the whole country' he of course means himself.

It's the classic thing of assuming everyone thinks the same as you do. https://twitter.com/bbcnickrobinson/status/1248501048592838657

Because I bet you CASH MONEY Stanley Johnson was still popping down his local ("don't worry, I won't sit next to anyone HAHAHA"), doing daily shop trips ("I like my bread fresh") and hunting escaped slaves ("they're indentured servants!") right up until Bozza got the Boris Bug.

This "I AM the country!" Thinking isn't just a right wing problem. Although it's more prevalent there (it's VERY Etonian). It also manifests in the hard left. E.g. old jam makers from Islington.

Which all helps explain the absolute fustercluck we're in right now as a country.
