Toot

Written by istewart@awful.systems on 2024-12-19 at 20:04

The British elected a guy who wears a mop on his head. You cannot convince me that is his actual hair.

I still have occasional intrusive visions of Johnson busting into an unattended supply closet in the Palace of Westminster to steal a fresh mop head, shouting, “BLOODY LABOUR NICKED ME TOUPÉE!”

@istewart @techtakes Spoiler: it's not his natural hairstyle, he's been caught deliberately mussing it up before going on camera. Also, his friends and family call him "Alex" (short for Alexander), not "Boris". It's all an act.

He’s really sold the bit, hasn’t he?

Yet, if you cover up his hair, he easily scans as “generic English aristocrat.”

And his actual name, Alexander de Pleffel-Johnson, also scans “generic English aristocrat.”

Hence the stage personality.
