People may well be asking themselves how we ended-up with Boris Johnson and Donald Trump in charge of two of the most powerful countries on earth.

It might not be something we would have envisaged 10 years ago but the way things were going I don’t think anyone should be surprised.

If nothing else both Trump and Boris have one thing in common. They will undoubtedly attract more attention for doing less than more. That can only mean one thing – that we are living in an age where people are generally not bothered about what a person says but how they says it.

Boris Johnson was chosen because when it comes to campaigning he is likely to attract more column inches and retweets than any other would-be leader. That is what it boils down to and that's one thing people have to accept.

If someone is good at campaigning and not governing nothing else actually matters. Some might think that we British a ‘smarter’ bunch but are we?

We are intrigued by him and will turn up to the rallies to see what ‘controversial’ comment he is likely to make. We will follow his every move and hope that somewhere he slips up. But it isn’t going to happen because people like Boris generally get away with it.

It is similar to Donald Trump. Any other person in the modern age would have been deposed by now.

This idea that these two men are in some way battling against the establishment is all part of the same nonsense that will see them both win elections.

What you can’t do is paint everyone who tries to defend the actions of these two men ‘an idiot’. We can call them a little short sighted if nothing else.

What was also strange this week was how people became obsessed with the idea that we had ‘minorities’ in two senior positions in the government.

Sajid Javid became Chancellor and Priti Patel was unveiled as the new Home Secretary.

Even if you don’t agree with the politics this has to be a good thing. What is wrong is to state that these are not ‘proper Asians’ because they don’t have the same opinions as you do.

What we have a right to say is that Britain is not some diverse place where everyone has an equal chance to 'make it'.

At the end of the day they are just two more politicians filling positions to do the job they have been tasked to do.
