Boris Johnson - what are the odds

He got an upper second in Ancient Literature and Classical Philosophy - that's probably how he got his reputation as brilliant. I think he can also speak Russian (can't we all ).

It is quite relevant though, a good knowledge of the Classics could be very useful in today's political arena - provided one keeps up with present-day changes too!
