In my previous post, I said that Boris Johnson was acting the Court Jester at the Court of King Cameron.
I should clarify and say that I had in mind Rigoletto (although I am no way suggesting that he is capable of hiring an assassin to murder his master), rather than Feste in Twelfth Night, a jester "wise enough to play the fool".
Of course my favourite court jester was the film of the same name starring Danny Kaye: The chalice from the palace have the pellet with the poison? No, the pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle.

BoJo - More Rigoletto than Feste
In my previous post, I said that Boris Johnson was acting the Court Jester at the Court of King Cameron.
