BORIS OUGHT TO BE COSSACKED
BORIS Johnson has drawn a lot of flak in his combative political career.
But he’s always been able to dodge the killer blows and emerge from each new skirmish wearing his battle scars like military honours. Not any more.
As the SNP’S Ian Blackford pointed out, the Prime Minister is now like Monty Python’s Black Knight, staggering on as his
limbs get severed insisting: “Tis but a scratch.” Boris may have won that no-confidence vote but
41% of his own party still stabbed him in the back, and those wounds must
surely prove fatal. At least he can console himself with the devotion of Ukrainians who see him as a war hero rather than a wazzock.
Like the people of Chernihiv, who have just made him an honorary Cossack called Boris Chuprina, meaning “long lock of hair”.
A cafe in Kyiv has also honoured our PM by creating a pastry topped with
meringue and vanilla ice cream to resemble his unruly barnet.
The base is a croissant though… not a great big doughnut.
