Impressive character assassination (of an admittedly easy target).
You don’t want this guy as your enemy (Boris Johnson is a twat, but worded more elegantly)

Musings on the byways of popular culture
This is just astonishing:
In fact the whole interview is worth watching, in a car crash kind of way:
It is all too bizarre for words. Rather like a scene from a mockumentary about a bumbling local politician who suddenly finds himself en route to Number 10.
Thanks Gary. That clip stunned me so much I posted it on my Bacefook page.
Most people would give a stock answer like cooking, reading, playing squash, shagging someone else’s wife etc. But no, he launches off into a hesitant monologue that reminds me of Eddie Izard or Bill Bailey. He is a queer fish!
I think your description above (“a mockumentary about…” ) is spot on!
Holy fuck.
Bait. And. Switch.
Bait. And. Switch.
“Have they stopped talking about my girlfriend yet? Have they started talking about policy? Wah, wah, wibble..wiff-waff. That was a close one.”
Doesn’t sit on the fence does he? Almost every sentence is eminently quotable.
‘We can’t predict what a Johnson government will do, because its prospective leader has not got around to thinking about this.’
3 threads on Boris Johnson!
In the spirit of austerity and the avoidance of waste, can I suggest that we dispense with the unecessary threads and just have one single rope?
Picture the scene …
The dire 1980s; 1986 to be exact.
I’m sitting outside a pub on an errand for my boring (one-year) job in insurance … not so bad though that I didn’t have the occasional “jolly” to the City on a Friday afternoon which ALWAYS coincided with “trouble on the tube,” hence the drink outside the pub in working hours.
Opposite – dodgers – aged 20-25 – I knew they’d bring down the City – the debacle of Lloyd’s and Barings Bank was just round the corner – the contemporaries of Cameron and Johnson. The same school, the same university, the same degree, the same quick route onto a high wage.
And now the same people are destroying this country day by day.
But then the great unwashed, Sun readers, taxi drivers etc. love toffs.
Opposites attract, I guess.
Well, chaps, you’ve got ’em!
Paul Whitehouse tries out his new Fast Show character.
Later dropped as it is considered too unbelievable.
Clearly some plan hatched by others around here to suggest restriction on comments on Boris Threads…why?
Burble burble …well errrr…I don’t think the Massive is interested in all that stuff…and…and…and….errrm (tousles hair).
A living example of the Dunning Kruger effect.
Who? Max Hastings?
It was pointed out to me very recently that Jeremy “Hunt” bears more than a little resemblance to one Arnold J Rimmer. I cannot now unsee that. Now you won’t either. Snigger.
The most impressive thing here is that Max Hastings has heard of Alan Partridge.
