JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: LONDON'S SILLY NEW MAYOR SAYS THAT IF A FILM WERE MADE OF HIS LIFE, GEORGE CLOONEY COULD STAR -A PLANETARY-SIZED EGO AND ITS WET DREAMS


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN


Sadiq Khan has an ego the size of a small planet.

A film of his life?

God, what has he done that anyone would want to make a film about him?

What audience would there even be for such a tedious idea?

And then, for the piece de resistance, this planetary-sized ego thinks George Clooney should play him.

Wow, talk about wet dreams?

I wonder what he has in mind for a title for this fantasy film no one would dream of making or going to see?

"Sadiq: the Movie"? "The Second Greatest Story Ever Told"? "The Ego That Swallowed London"? "Khan's Flying Circus"?

I could suggest, perhaps most appropriately, "Betrayal."
