This is really quite funny. Who'd have thought?!

Yeah right.

He's trying to make sure that he's down with the plebs.

GreekDogRescue · 25/05/2023 17:07

I find this very unlikely. No doubt he was told this would make him ‘relatable’.

StayingZenInTheVipersDen · 25/05/2023 17:08

That is quite funny if true (but it probably isn't).

IamRoyFuckingKent · 25/05/2023 17:10

I find that so unlikely! They should have said ok then, name Ranaldini's mistress. Or what is the sharp sexy scent called?

GeriKellmansUpdo · 25/05/2023 17:10

Absolutely no way. He reads Ayn Rand.

DamnAndDashIt · 25/05/2023 17:11

Like fuck he is.

MissyB1 · 25/05/2023 17:12

Eeeugh now I’m imagining him getting his wife to ride him and whack him with a crop! I’m off to be sick 🤢

LaMarschallin · 25/05/2023 17:12

They should have said ok then, name Ranaldini's mistress.

He might have just said, "Which one?"

Or what is the sharp sexy scent called?

That would have been a good trap. (Fracas?)

Do you think he sees himself as Jake to Boris's RCB?

😂😂

RCB when the booze finally catches up with him and he goes to seed entirely

Allegedly Jilly Cooper supports the Tories.

The village she lives in is very Tory!

Of course she does. She was very matey with the Parker-Bowles' back.in the day, may still be for all I know...

Of course he does - posh crumpet, whips, sexual shenanigans that are just racy enough without being too deviant, dodgy rakes who belong in the 1970s in terms of putting it about - the ones I read in my late teens were very Tory (despite being at the exact opposite of the scale politically I didn't think through my choice of university and unfortunately my hall of residence was full to the rafters with Jolly hockey sticks Jilly gel types....

Crikeyalmighty · 25/05/2023 19:20

I thought this was hilarious- he so clearly isn't!! Actually it shows he probably doesn't read or would have thought of something more credible off the top of his head- but then again he doesn't seem to know how to use a debit card or fill a car
