Chippy Minton Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I see today he's claiming Cameron deliberately got the Magna Carta thing wrong on Letterman so that he didn't appear too clever: "I think he was only pretending. I think he knew full well what Magna Carta means. It was a brilliant move in order to show his demotic credentials and that he didn't have Latin bursting out of every orifice."We all know the old Boris is a clever man trying to sound dim line, but I actually found this brilliant. Boris, of all people, manages to undermine Cameron based on the idea that Cameron is a public school elitist!Have I been wrong all this time?

???? Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Yup but isn't there a sense that Boris doesn't try to hide it whereas 'Dave' does? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25921-boris-johnson/#findComment-581016 Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncleglen Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I wondered whether he had been briefed about the type of audience David Letterman attracts because I get the impression that US chat shows are not in the least spontaneous. Or maybe DC wanted to give the impression that he is not interested in ancient British history because he has his finger firmly on the pulse of today's goings on!

Brendan Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Sound more like a backhanded insult to the electorate to me. What the stupid proles actually want is an idiot ruling them innit.

???? Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Nope. We'd still have Gordon Brown if that was true. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25921-boris-johnson/#findComment-581101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Not that it is true. It could be said that it was what BJ was impying. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25921-boris-johnson/#findComment-581104 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loz Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Boris is slowly and quietly undermining Dave at the moment. He may play the buffoon, but he is a smart political operator.

the-e-dealer Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 He's very good on That News thing on Fridays but anything else and getting 190000 in public funds no way he's a clown and should remain in the Circus. I dont love him in any way. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25921-boris-johnson/#findComment-581792 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bob* Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 There can't be anyone left on the streets of Britain who shalt not recite the mantra EEE MAY ACT LIKE A BUFFOON BUT EEES DEAD CLEVER REALLY INNEE when questioned. Ok, so everyone is agreed that he's not as stupid as he looks, or acts etc etc, but it doesn't necessarily follow that he must be, you know, the smartest man alive; the political puppetmaster with a thousand lesser brains dancing on invisible strings - to the subsonic beats and pulsing of his giant superbrain.
