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!

    • James  may have initiated the boards but there would have been a group of people who would have taken in turn to keep boards up to date. When locks and boards were vandalised  it took some while (around 2 years) for the council to repair/replace and many of the group who maintained them, moved/died. I know James was not seen so much in ED due to  family  illness/bereavement  and I believe he also changed his job.
