Shocked to see Boris Johnson is using alliteration, long words, bad French and daft puns to hide the fact he has nothing of any substance to say.
Remarkable that someone with such a standard formula - honed over a decade plus in public life - can be seen as in anyway authentic.
And there's the reference to Latin. God this is tedious.

He's saying anyone can send their children to Brampton Manor school - which has one of the most selective A-level intakes in London. I despair.
Good luck to the producers trying to clip this Boris Johnson speech. It's like a drunk guy in a bar who's swallowed a thesearus.
As I write that he starts shouting Build Back Beaver.
"we need to invest in skills, skills, skills" - Adult skills education has been cut by a third over the past decade.
Wish I could love anything as much as Boris Johnson loves alliteration.
Done. No policy in the whole speech. Nothing of substance. Plenty of untruths. Will get written up as successful because that's the world we live in.
Do wonder how well the whole after dinner boosterish shtick will play as more and more families find themselves unable to afford to turn the heating on or afford their normal shop.
