I have long believed Boris Johnson to be a total and utter buffoon. If he was just able to come across as a little bit smarter, he might pass for a fool. That 'people's person' persona that he occasionally badly attempts is overwhelmed by the sense that he was conceived in a gentleman's club, with a woman sneaked in the back door to make it possible. My advice to him would be that he immediately retire to that same club, where his posture, nodding head and half open eyes would be greatly suited to a button back leather armchair. Occasionally he could wake for a refill of an enormous whisky, which might help his few functioning brain cells make any sense of his daily delivered 1930s editions of the Daily Mail.
