Has 'rehearsed' written all over it.It reaks of it being written FOR him rather than by him ie they knew they were going to lose last night and someone (Dowden) was lined up as the sacrificial lamb in an attempt to deflect from the actual results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Boris reminds me of Richard Chamberlain's character in The Towering Inferno. They've set up a breeches buoy to evacuate people one at a time to a nearby building, order decided by lottery, but he and his mates don't feel like waiting their turn and four or five of them rush the buoy and climb aboard. As it sets out Chamberlain realises they're too heavy and pushes the rest of them off, sacrificing them to save his own skin. Fortunately the line then breaks so he falls to his death too. Can't wait for that to happen to Boris. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Nadine Dorries be the purser from The Poseidon Adventure, insisting that everyone stay in the dining room because nothing is wrong (before the water comes crashing in and drowns him and all his followers)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withe Gove and Truss furiously battling it out behind the scenes to determine which of their names marginally appears above the other in the opening credits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Have you seen the Sky version of The Midwich Cuckoos? Quite good, though they've changed it so that all the kids resemble their mothers (i.e. no paternal DNA). In the 1960s film version (and in the book) they all looked like each other. You can see why they changed it as it would just have looked as if Boris had passed through the village... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more likely she’s asking for tips on exploiting migrant workers and torturing dissenters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
