Frankie Boyle on Boris Johnson: “Like Oswald Moseley’s soul trapped in a Furby”

Here’s our three favourite things from Frankie Boyle’s latest column about Brexit.

On Boris Johnson:

[quote by=”XX” cited=”XX”]”He’s just there to divert us from the horrific things the government is planning, like a nodding dog stuck to a serial killer’s dashboard. The media has a lot to answer for in terms of promoting the image that Boris is sweet and cuddly, when in fact he’s more like Oswald Mosley’s soul trapped in a Furby.”[/quote]

On Theresa May:

[quote by=”XX” cited=”XX”]”Ever since [she was defeated in the Lords] has worn the appalled expression of a famously strict headmistress who has intercepted a note being passed between pupils that turns out to be a breathtakingly vivid representation of a masturbating werewolf.”[/quote]

On Jeremy Corbyn:

[quote by=”XX” cited=”XX”]“It must be depressing being [him]… Knowing that your chance of becoming Prime Minister is so slim even the MI6 group working on how to discretely bump you off have packed it in.”[/quote]

His columns occasionally turn up in the Guardian, last month complaining that his latest missive had been rejected because of a joke about Rupert Murdoch.
