Following on from a thread on Mumsnet, where they were discussing the president of Ukraine having been a comedian, it set me wondering which comedian/actor I might like to see leading the UK - I immediately thought of Bob Mortimer. He is a qualified lawyer and seems to be an all-round good egg to me.
I do find Michael McIntyre hilarious. The last time I cried with laughter and could hardly breathe I was laughing so much was at Michael McIntyre but I know lots of comedians can't stand him.
BlueCat. My feelings exactly. When Billy Connolly made that “joke” about getting on with it about that poor hostage Ken Bingsly, I imagined his family hearing that and I totally went completely off him and I’ve never seen him in the same light ever since. I haven’t really given it much thought as to what comedian could replace the clown we already have in downing st but it would have to be someone really down to earth and caring. Not someone who had no idea about the real world while hiding away in their ivory castle!
I agree the present embarrassing incumbent in No10 is a comedian. He needs to leave asap. We need someone with a heart and a brain. With that thought we deserve a decent leader. Scotland has this and fights for her people. Wales also has a decent leader, as does Ireland. We need someone who is crisp, truthful and will truthfully answer questions. Waffling is not a good skill! A good leader doesn’t need to have all the answers. He does need to have a team of experts to gather and share info. with him. The government is too soft and needs a firm hand. Comedians - we’ve been there and it’s not work out well. (•not many masks worn at PMQT)
