It seems Boris Johnson’s dad Stanley Johnson is standing as a Conservative in the next election in Teignmouth, South Devon, on a pro-hunting ticket with the hopes of unseating the Liberal Democrat. And anyone who thought Boris was fairly unique in his portrayal of a fumbling tory tosser is apparently wrong, as he seems to be a ‘twin’ of his father Stanley who looks, talks and acts the same.

The article in the link is quite long but a good read, in particular the account of Stanley’s jaunt through Newton Abbot on a Shopmobility buggy, and if you ever get to the end of the article you may wonder like me if he should be allowed to drive, since he doesn’t seem to be able to remember the rule on roundabouts to give way to traffic from the right.

While I don‘t like his or his sons politics, he does seem to provide good laughs like Boris, and I could just imagine Boris saying this that came from daddy‘s lips: “That's my motto: think globally. Act locally,' he says, with gusto. Then he checks himself 'Cripes! Isn't that the Liberal Democrat slogan? Better scrub that!'
