I was at a charity do at No 11 today and met Georgie boy. He comes across as a nice bloke and is actually quite funny. I only spoke to him for a few minutes but I came away thinking he would be great fun to have a beer with, he has that 'dirty' posh boy charm.

 

I've only ever met one government minister.
Friendly but oily is how he struck me.
I don't expect I left any impression on him whatsoever.

 

Comes across as a tool to me. I've nothing in common with him or his type.

 

Did he compliment you on your toned physique.

 

He looks quite stern in his political pictures. I've only seen him cry once when Lady Thatcher died. Good to know that the guy expresses other emotions, too. Not totally anti-sociopathetic.

 

You might be right about that. Same with his mockney accent when addressing those factory workers. A true sociopath would never seek to be accepted like that.

 

Wrong thread

 

Had a long chat with Ken Clarke some years ago on a flight back from Monaco GP. He was very chatty and extremely knowledgable regarding F1 , not at all what I thought he'd be like.
