I see today he's claiming Cameron deliberately got the Magna Carta thing wrong on Letterman so that he didn't appear too clever: "I think he was only pretending. I think he knew full well what Magna Carta means. It was a brilliant move in order to show his demotic credentials and that he didn't have Latin bursting out of every orifice."


We all know the old Boris is a clever man trying to sound dim line, but I actually found this brilliant. Boris, of all people, manages to undermine Cameron based on the idea that Cameron is a public school elitist!


Have I been wrong all this time?

I wondered whether he had been briefed about the type of audience David Letterman attracts because I get the impression that US chat shows are not in the least spontaneous. Or maybe DC wanted to give the impression that he is not interested in ancient British history because he has his finger firmly on the pulse of today's goings on!

There can't be anyone left on the streets of Britain who shalt not recite the mantra EEE MAY ACT LIKE A BUFFOON BUT EEES DEAD CLEVER REALLY INNEE when questioned.


Ok, so everyone is agreed that he's not as stupid as he looks, or acts etc etc, but it doesn't necessarily follow that he must be, you know, the smartest man alive; the political puppetmaster with a thousand lesser brains dancing on invisible strings - to the subsonic beats and pulsing of his giant superbrain. Do me a a favour!

    • Electrical work can be dangerous, and hiring an unqualified individual can put you and your family at risk. and negate your insurance. A qualified electrician has the training and experience to safely handle any electrical issues, reducing the likelihood of accidents or injuries. With the exception of simple tasks, it is illegal for anyone other than a licensed electrician to perform electrical work. Hiring a qualified electrician ensures that the work is done in compliance with local laws and building codes. Some electricians are being recommended on EDF but here is no indication that they registered with NICEIC or NAPIT.  One is well advised to steer clear of Check-a-Trade which is a marketing service funded by subscription. 
    • Didn’t they have a very ‘unusual’ way of allocating council housing which was also criticised in that report and which hopefully has now been changed

    • Was that the the time it took before reporting something like 'Fully charged'?  If so, had you tried checking from time to time before then whether the battery was effective?   It might also be interesting trying the charger again after a week or two, to see how well the battery is maintaining charge.
