FFS what an embarassing display this evening. The man’s a cretin.
Moose the Mooche says
The British people won’t stand for this nonsense.

I didn’t watch because his lardy, drooling slab of a face makes me want to throw things at the screen even without him spouting his improvised mix of schoolboy-classicism and patronising folksiness, but I believe the tactic is called ‘let Boris be Boris’.

Don’t know why and will go out of my way not to find out, but war is a vote winner.
Has been ever since the Falklands. Money and war. Nail them and your new address has a “10” in it with Plod outside.
I worked in an Archive and if a male, aged 35 to 60 walked in, I didn’t say “What can I do for you?” I said, “Which one? The first or the second?”
