Dear old Boris tried, he really tried to fit in. He got his England top on and then let the PR folk loose. And then…
Moore represented England, winning a total of 64 England caps between 1987 and 1995. Known for reading Shakespeare – in particular, parts of Henry V before a game in the dressing room to his teammates.
Moore played in three Rugby World Cups including in 1991 where along with Jason Leonard and Jeff Probyn he was part of a destructive English front row as they reached the final, losing a tight match 12–6 to Australia at Twickenham. Moore was also a member of the England side which won Grand Slams in 1991, 1992 and 1995. In 1991, he was voted Rugby World Player of the Year, a decade before the sport’s governing body (the IRB), began its awards programme.
Let us hope that enough of the British public are discerning in the same way to avoid the catastrophe of Johnson forming a government.
