I always found Benny to be funnier

Straining at the limits. How apt.

Benny Hill was a professional entertainer…

BJ is neither…

At least he’s consistent - this one’s from 2013 (even then his suits were too tight for their contents).

Actually, given his misshapen, bloated body, with a neck that appears to appear from somewhere in the middle of his chest (thereby channeling his inner faux-Churchill) there can be few public figures less well-suited to being suited. In fact, rather than than being be-suited, Johnson’s better suited to a burqua.

Looks like a clip from A Clockwork Orange.

My interpretation was that the designers were trying to ironically evoke that longstanding Tory tradition of rough trade, East End rent boys…

But of course, I may be mistaken…
