Mr Benn

[gulliver1]

Boris just loves dressing up and playing the part of Mr Benn.
He has made appearances dressed up a Builder, Army Tank Commander, British gas engineer , to Fishmonger.
Etc, etc....But today he went to Liverpool and dressed up as a Policeman . Will someone tell him there is no need for him to dress up as a Clown .

[bobbinwales]

Bored?

I've been wondering what 'lawful purpose' BoJo had for wearing that uniform:
"Any person who, not being a member of a police force or special constable, has in his possession any article of police uniform shall, unless he proves that he obtained possession of that article lawfully and has possession of it for a lawful purpose, be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 1 on the standard scale."
[s. 90(3), Police Act 1996].

He dressed as a policeman to support the Kop Cops....after all, this article appeared in the Echo this morning -

'Police in Liverpool yesterday pulled over a Scouser and were amazed to find the car taxed tested and insured.

It wasn't stolen and there were nothing robbed or drugs found. The driver was sober. He had a full licence and no points.

A police spokesman said they had no option but to fine him £80 for wasting police time.'

I’m sure he has a dressing up box at no10. he loves a high viz, but his outfit today made him look particularly silly. He should be arrested for impersonating a police officer .

[DTCwordfan]

Is he impersonating - after all, it was one of his predecessors who created the police force so, perhaps, there is some inheritance in his position as PM (Police Marshall?).

[bobbinwales]

Am sure he didnt provide his own outfit today, the police would of been responsible. He'd of looked abit odd in there dressed as Poppa Pig or in a suit or in his jogging shorts or a hi viz jacket for a secret drugs bust

[ToraToraTora]

how's the origami going Gully?

[gulliver1]

Wonder if he keeps his dressing up box at No 10, and does Carrie know about it.

[gulliver1]

Wonder if Carrie knows what's in Boris's Dressing up Box, or does he keep it under lock and key.

[gulliver1]

Wonder if Boris will dress up as Father Christmas , at this years Booze Bash behind locked door at no 10.?

[emmie]

perhaps he is trying to show that he is interested enough in the police and their jobs to want to fit in. Besides who is Mr Benn?

[emmie]

he ain't a clown, and won't im sure need to dress as one, i just looked up Mr Benn, 1970's animation, just up your street, i confess i had never heard of it, but i was too busy having a life.

[Mozz71]

Not sure Gully needs to dress up as a clown either. We can all see he's one from the constant drivel he posts.

Out of interest, what is this doing in news?

[emmie]

who know Mozz.

[1ozzy]

Could be Boris dresses up as Thomas The Tank Engine one day to deliver his speech.
That's one step better than Peppa the pig.
Just hoping Ringo Starr is still alive to narrate for him

[emmie]

I think he is all right, and should be applauded for the latest news on getting tough on drug taking in UK.

[emmie]

also you have suggested that all policemen are clowns, why?

[William51]

He is typical of some politicians, dressing up and trying to ingratiate himself with the locals.

[emmie]

i don't think he was doing that, it was dark and the police were doing a drugs bust.
