The Daily Mail compared Boris Johnson to Eric Morecambe and everyone else begged to differ

Lots of newspapers today have a picture of Boris Johnson doing a comedy salute and it reminded the Daily Mail of someone.

Well, he’s definitely not wise.

Except to everyone apart from the Daily Mail, Johnson dicking about reminded them of someone else entirely, and we think everyone else is right.

Having seen the picture on many of the newspapers this morning, I'm relieved to see I'm not the only person who's looked at piffle's 'salute' and been reminded of Benny Hill's "Fred Scuttle" character. Saved me some time. pic.twitter.com/IntrTs4kBo

Benny Hill trending as Boris Johnson is choosing his cabinet.

Apparently he's running around a park chasing scantily clad women as we speak. pic.twitter.com/YjIy9NDfjJ
