How to lose credibility in two and a half seconds. While Boris Johnson was waiting this Thursday in front of Westminster to announce his resignation in an official speech, the music Yakety Sax from the Benny Hill Show rang out at full speed in front of the enclosure. We hear it in the background of the interview with Conservative MP Chris Philp, who said he was ready to resume his duties in the British government.
This little joke with a very British accent was performed by the anti-Brexit and anti-Boris Johnson activist, Steve Bray. A video posted on Twitter shows him playing the famous saxophone music from his big speaker, a stone’s throw from Westminster.
However, the idea did not come from him, but from the famous actor Hugh Grant. “Glad to see that you have regained the use of your speakers. Do you by any chance have Benny Hill’s music? “, had written the celebrity to the activist.
As soon as asked, immediately done, Yakety Sax came to ruin the solemnity of Boris Johnson’s announcement.
