Secret Boris Johnson column favoured UK remaining in EU

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/oct/16/secret-boris-johnson-column-favoured-uk-remaining-in-eu

This article is about Boris Johnson's views on how he really wanted Brexit to play out earlier this year. The article makes it clear within the title that Boris Johnson was opposed against the idea of Brexit in the title, this is title is this way to make people interested as people thought that Boris Johnson was a part of the leave campaign. The article goes on to further make connections to brexit towards Boris Johnson leaving his position. The article makes Johnson to appear as a very well rounded individual as while he states he wishes to leave in this unpublished column, he also criticises the EU in it. Because the Guardian is a left wing news paper and thus would have also wanted the UK to remain, they may have wanted to now put Boris in a positive light because its revealed he wanted to remain, and thus make it appear he looks at both sides of the argument.

I personally do not really care for Boris Johnson's Brexit views especially after he dropped out of his position to temporarily run the country, which I thought was a very cowardice thing to do especially since he was part of the reason Brexit happened.
