I’m not going to pretend to know a damn thing about British politics. Most of the time about politics in general. Anywho, apparently Britain’s Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has resigned. That means there is a gaggle of press outside of Parliament. Hugh Grant (yes, the actor no one has heard from in years) tweeted out that activists already there should play the Benny Hill theme song outside for all the media sources, AND PEOPLE DID! All of these serious news resources are trying to do reports with the Benny Hill theme playing nice and loud.
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
