Our new Prime Minister- A warning from 2004

Boris is scary. He's done this programme, and he is a lovable moptop, and he's just got this thing going on where he goes "mymymymymy, well, mymymymymymymy, well" and yet you know he would have no hesitation in corralling you into a football stadium and shooting you.

P.S. For those unsure on the context of this remark (like me when I first heard this!), it is about the 1973 coup in Chile, where the Pinochet government imprisoned, tortured, and killed political opponents in the Chile National Stadium. For more information, click below, or read the excellent Pinochet in Piccadilly :
