Boris Johnson the Richard III clown
References to
Johnson’s clown/fool role including Richard III bring
to mind Johnson’s performance in the Eton School performance that was intended
to be of Richard III with Johnson in the title role.
He knew he was unprepared and put prompts on cuffs and
pillars, but still had recourse to random ad-libs which set the audience
laughing uproariously but wrecked the play for all other participants and for
serious followers.
In other words he was unprepared and made it up as he went
along, with disastrous results, without losing support, just as he later did with Brexit, Covid-19,
and Prime Ministership in general.
Show me the boy and I will show you the man.
