First we had 'Project Fear' during Scotland's independence referendum, followed by 'Project Boris' it appears in the forthcoming vote to decide whether the UK's remains a member of the European Union.

But Shakespeare put his finger on the kind of overweening, personal ambition now on display from Boris Johnson, the outgoing London Mayor, with the following words from his famous 'Scottish' play.  
  
Macbeth:

I have no spur

To prick the sides of my intent, but only

Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself,

And falls on th'other. . . .


Well said, sir.
