BoJo on Prigozhin

[jon-nyc]

Excerpts from an op-ed

“It can’t have been more than a few seconds between the explosion aboard the otherwise reliable Embraer Legacy 600 executive jet, and the moment the Russian thug blacked out in his vertiginous acceleration to earth; and yet in that instant I am certain that he knew with perfect clarity what had happened…”

“He knew whose hidden hand was sending him 28,000 ft down, to be immolated with the rest of his Wagner group companions in a fireball in the countryside of the Tver region north of Moscow – and then on downwards, of course, for the shade of Prigozhin: down, down to Hades and the Tartarean pit below.”

“As the detonation sucked the air out of the aircraft’s cabin, I would wager that the last thought in the doomed dome of Prigozhin’s skull was ‘Putin!’, preceded by one of the many profanities in which the former jailbird and hotdog salesman was so fluent…”

The man can turn a phrase.

1. BoJo has no place talking about someone's dome.

2. The thread title (and bear with me, I'm not that much of a perv), "BoJo on Prigoshin" brought a rather disturbing homoerotic image to my mind's eye.

It wasn't just dome. I was 'doomed dome of Prighozin's skull'. You gotta love that. Alliteration FTW.

If there's one thing these posh Eton-educated blokes can do, it's write.

Govern, apparently not so much.
