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 .

Ellipsis at 9.07am.

Harriet Harperson wasn't the PM, or Home Secretary, but she was the deputy leader, and felt the need to don a police stab vest to walk around her own constituency.

Interesting the abuse she got for it, DD:

Now imagine if she'd worn the hat!

[gulliver1]

10 46 But she wasn't wearing a hat with POLICE written on it , was she.

TTT, I would imagine the origami is going quite slow, it's quite hard to do when the origamist isn't allowed scissors.

Boris is very convincing as a policeman.

It is when he pretends to be be a world leader when he is totally miscast.

Deskdiary, take your pick, I suppose it depends on what turns you on.

Do we not transmit covid is we are maskless and asleep ?

[gulliver1]

The big mistake Boris made was wearing a Hat with POLICE written on .......
He should have worn a hat with Plonker written on......
Then he would have been recognised,... instantly.

Gromit @ 11.18... "It is when he pretends to be a world leader when he is totally ...miscast"...... Best answer for this one Gromit.....

anne: "Do we not transmit covid is we are maskless and asleep ?" - depends how many you are sleeping with anne!

[ToraToraTora]

[Peter Pedant]

Boris cant be Benn
Benn combed his hair
and had mad staring eyes

[gulliver1]

TGT @15.59 That Mr Benn didn't walk about with a bale of hay on top of his head ,and talking a load of Cobras.
