So that’s ‘Zippy’. Does that make DCam ‘Bungle’? 🙂
Where is that huge pair of scissors when you need them?
I doubt this will hurt BoJo much. He’s made a career out of being ridiculous.

I thought we’d long ago stopped hanging politicians. Or perhaps it was cleverly arranged to dramatise Boris’ tendency to leave sentences hanging in mid-air.
