Well, maybe - we shall see.

Having now seen our new Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, making `em roll in the aisles, a worrying thought occurred to me as I was watching his bravura performance at PM Questions in Parliament and his subsequent outbursts.  I wondered if he was in the right line of business.

Now, a certain Michael McIntyre has made a handsome living by revelling in the self-delusion that shouting rather loudly in a posh accent, waving his arms about and shaking his head a lot automatically makes him funny and lovable to his audiences.  And to be fair his captive audiences seem to have been persuaded of his gift for hilarity.

And it seems in these early stages of his Premiership that Boris might also be revelling in a similar form of self delusion by shouting rather loudly in a posh accent, waving his arms about and shaking his head a lot thereby making for a compelling politician on the top of his game.

Time will tell with Boris - he`s got until Halloween to prove whether he can deliver on his promises to his captive audience who need to be persuaded of any gifts he may have for sincerity and competence.

If he can deliver, then there might be some hope for him but sadly I fear they may be two of a kind - admired by the gullible but unconvinced by the doubtful.   Sometimes it`s difficult to differentiate between comedy and politics..and these two are not making it any easier.
