High Jump - in PM mode: A point of view

23/5/2020

From what I have read about the risks for covid patients in ICU and on ventilators, I can't help wondering whether if those who cared for him had treated him like many other NHS patients, the Prime Minister  might have been less likely to have survived? But more importantly his look of utter bewilderment and exhaustion recently reminded me of the story I heard about Jacob Levy Moreno, the psychiatrist who developed Psychodrama. According to Moreno's own memories, he had been brought up by his mother to be slightly at risk of megalomania - until he played God in some children's game and - perhaps egged on - jumped from a wardrobe, in role. He broke his leg in the fall and - was cured from his former predicament. Boris Johnson appears not to have the opportunity to have his childhood dreams cut to size. The less than flattering report from one tutor at Eton does not appear to have had sufficient effect. Having been voted into office favoured by the voting system, he had no other option apparently than to create another scenario that could break more than his leg - not least because of the responsibility for a disastrous death rate from covid in the UK and a choice of advisor that more than distracts from his own personality issues perhaps. What a terrible learning curve for his subjects..
