James Blunt had the best response to Boris Johnson’s ‘tank division’ boast

Poke Staff. Updated February 8th, 2022

In an uncertain world it’s good to know that some things remain reassuringly predictable, like James Blunt winning at Twitter.

We only say this because the singer has been at it again after Boris Johnson was quoted in the Times as telling allies it would need a tank division to drag him out of Downing Street.

And depending on how much you know about Blunt, you might very well see what’s coming. But either way it’s still very funny.

The hero we need

And this.

This is not a sentence I ever thought I'd have to say, but James Blunt organising a military coup and installing himself as president is not the worst thing that could happen. https://t.co/52eW9CtewD

And also this.

Honestly, if James Blunt somehow seized control of the army and overthrew the government, I think I'd just shrug. It's just the sort of thing that happens now. https://t.co/xdwMvOgZEj
