Goodbye!

Hugh Grant tweeted a request at activists protesting outside Westminster to play the Benny Hill theme on their loudspeakers; when they did it became the soundtrack for street interviews with leading Tories trying explain the situation to the British people pic.twitter.com/V1LxUoxRUE

One of the best moments. A farce needs a proper soundtrack.

It's nice to have a little joy! :D

Ah, to live in a civilized society where even a party of shitheads can recognize when their leader is an even bigger shithead and make him leave.

/very happy for you and not at all bitter

[elisi]

Wellllll.... all the rest of the shitheads will now be viciously fighting to see who takes over.

As someone said, changing the driver doesn't do ll that much when the bus is still going in the wrong direction. However, it's nice for there FINALLY to be consequences for him omg.

Also hi - life has been way too busy, I don't like it. See you on the other side. <3

I never thought I'd say this back in the 90s, but I love Hugh Grant.

[elisi]

Yeah, times change and sometimes for the better... ;)

Yes, occasionally good things happen!

I love that we laugh about all this and don’t end up with people storming the Houses of Parliament à la Trump!

[elisi]

Oh lord yes. But then a) Boris fans aren't quite as deluded and b) they don't all have guns!

I saw a clip of this elsewhere, but I just thought someone had put the Yakkity Sax soundtrack over the clip - that it was really being played, and at Hugh Grant's suggestion is even funnier.

Bye Bye Boris, indeed.

IKR? Genius move. It made me very happy.

OMG, I did love the Benny Hill soundtrack to go along with the live video...so perfect. And apt, really.

I wish I had Twitter so I could share the Four Seasons tweet, cause it was frigging hilarious!

Hilarious & tragic, all at the same time.

Well, Twitter steals your time and robs your soul, so stay away. But I hear understand the sentiment. :)
