·Suspect the real truth is that there are certain character types that are regurgitated year after year ad infinitum in the world of politics (especially public school boy tories!) and that lend themselves to parody.
Jacob Rees mogg for example.
I've seen Rees-Mogg being interviewed on Sky by Kay Burley and that smooth well mannered act slipped.
The same thing happened on GMB which I think is why he's sought safer ground on GBnews.

·Can't help thinking Bozza as a boy might have learned his own schtick from Rowley Birkin...
Maybe there's a real Rowley Birkin.
What do you make of Michael Fabricant ?

Jacob Rees Mogg is beyond parody. He's unique, and not in a good way...

·Just been watching the 1974 version of the movie The Taking of Pelham 123. After the first talk to the leader of the hijackers Walter Matthau's character says "He's got a heavy English accent, could be a fruitcake." Thank you Hollywood!

I used to go on a boxing forum where the Ameican moderators didn't allow me saying a boxer was a "cracker"

An excellent film! The character to which Matthau was referring was played by Robert Shaw, best known to the Yanks for his role in JAWS. And coincidentally, one of my favorite scenes in Pelham is this one, in which Shaw's character gets a taste of '70s black American vernacular:

·You can never have too much buggering. Well you can, but not in the lexicon sense. 😉 I am a prolific user of the word bugger and all its derivatives
"Oh fυck, the fυcking fucker's fυcking fυcked".
