If we all thought Etonians understood one thing, it would be the finer points of Cricket. However, Jacob Rees-Mogg’s analogy to the game during a recent on-street interview with Nick Watt of BBC Two’s Newsnight program either betrayed that he was no devotee of the game or, perhaps, that he was subtly betraying his esteemed leader.
They said that Boris Johnson’s reaction to Partygate could be compared to a batsman, given out by the on-pitch umpire, turning to the DRS (decision review system) – an honest disagreement. But if that were the case and the DRS showed him to be out, the batsman would not be at Liberty to announce: “This was all a Jolly rotten misunderstanding, but I’ll just continue batting.”
The image on the big screen would twirl around a couple of times, and then announce “OUT!” in very large letters. And they would have to go.
