Don't think Boris Johnsons grandfather can take the rap for the monkey was he not in Turkey at the time? perhaps he was getting a recipe for a good stuffing.

Come on now you can do better than this. Look up at the stars tonight , if you see a constellation vaguely in the shape of a monkey, that is Hartlepool.

Re: Life in the sunshine
Unusual for a bye erection to go in favor of the gov of the day.
Boris must have been doing something, or some one , right at the time.
But since he became PM here in Oz yellow mops are all the go, so obviously his fame has spread far and wide.
But must admit the mops are all sponge ones on long sticks.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: Life in the sunshine
I watched The Clown's appearance in the Commons yesterday. A few minutes apologising for lying to Parliament, the rest of his speech talking of Ukraine. Using a war to keep him in office, but totally expected from a man without honour or principles.
