I don’t think he will jettison it, Burt’s clearly too attached to it. The
time to have flushed it and started again was, I’d say, Burtday. No coming
back from that absolute dunderheaded fuck up. No, I reckon Burt’s allowed
his ukra posting ID to become too closely entwined with his actual sense of
self; there’s too much of him in it to easily abort, it’d be like
committing suicide. And it’s even more unlikely that he’d be able to do
that *and* return to ukra in disguise, it’d be like the end of Being John
Malkowich (I don’t do spoilers, if you haven’t seen that film tgen go watch
it, it’s awesome.).
In short, Burt’s utterly trapped; he can’t walk away and start again but he
also can’t stay and fight and win and reclaim that legacy he was working
for before I upset his apple cart. Poor Old Burt. What a way to end up in
his rapidly diminishing days.
