Socks and Models

I was hoping there wasn't going to be any Boris stories today, I really can't be arsed writing anything. They just keep coming though. Two slightly amusing ones.

Firstly this one about his claim that he makes "model buses" in his spare time lol. I've watched the interview where he says it and it's hard to tell if he's being serious or if he's just trolling. Either way it's just harmless fun. The Guardian article can't just enjoy it though, and insists on pointing out how bizarre the story is. Questions its truthfulness and even quotes one Twitter user who states;
Feels like a screw-you status thing - "I can literally say any old unbelievable shit and still become PM."
To be fair though most newspapers have commented upon the bizarreness of the story. How could you not do?


(Boris bus story, The Guardian)

Second story is from the Sun and it states that Boris has possibly been wearing the same pair of socks for three out of four days. Again ...lol. Of course, it's probably just the case that he has multiple pairs of the same style socks, but it plays into the Boris image all the same.

(Sun sock story)

Neither of these articles could be called hit pieces. In fact, the Sun tend to be pro-Boris anyway. They're just classic comedy Boris really. It feels like he's finally starting to get in campaigning mode too.

..and they jazz up the list a bit.

22nd June: Wine-sofa.
23rd June: "Far-right" Bannon links
24th June: "He want's to get back with his wife."
25th June: Hairgate (!)
26th June: Socks and model buses
27th June: ????
