And I'm pretty certain it's not someone the Prime Minister of the country really ought to be singling out for praise. That must be it.Ĭall me over-sensitive, but I'm not sure that having this guy leading a vast army of angry cheerleaders for the Metropolitan Police is going to be all that constructive over the days ahead in healing the nation's wounds and restoring the force's battered reputation among ethnic minorities. So why is this sort of thing, which we're told was someone else's handiwork, still here? What possible explanation could there be? Perhaps he just doesn't know how the "Delete this tweet" button works. Boscott is presumably in sole control of his Twitter account now. It's nice to see that, a bit like Michael McIntyre, he's keen to promote other young up-and-coming comics too.Īnd it gets more mysterious – this sidesplitter is from the same date as the "Junglebook" tweet.

You might think that some would consider that description to fit the "Junglebook" line quite well, and that Boscott's denial of having posted it therefore smelt a bit fishy. Though oddly, rather than being about social justice or supporting the police, the profile claims to be mostly about "bad taste/offensive jokes" and "Adult Humour not 4 wimps". These things happen, but luckily his account appears to be under his control again, spewing out hundreds of anti-rioter tweets in recent days and gathering tens of thousands of followers. …in which Boscott attempts to deny responsibility for the "Junglebook" post, claiming a hacked Twitter account. ![]() ![]() That doesn't seem quite the sort of "morality" the Prime Minister should be getting behind, does it? But there are more rib-ticklers where that came from. The group in question was created, and is run, by this lovely chap: You may have seen David Cameron on the news today, anointing himself head of the "New Moral Army", promising a "fightback" against rioters, and praising (at 0.53) "the million people on Facebook who've signed up to support the police".
