The long and the shorts of it is this: I welcome bad weather because it rids us of shorts.

I’m keeping this short. Or rather, shorts.

The weather is about to break.

And while I love the good weather and the heat and the sunshine, there is a lot to be said for lousy weather.

Well, maybe not a lot.

But there’s this.

When the sun goes in and it rains and the temperature drops, it will stop some, but not all, men from going around in shorts.

Unsuitable shorts.

Too short shorts.

Ridiculous shorts.

I don’t know what you think about Leo.

You might think he does a good job or you might think he does a lousy job.

But compared with Boris, when it comes to wearing shorts, he’s streets ahead.

And he’s streets ahead of the former British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn too.

Trump doesn’t wear shorts. And I think this picture which demonstrates the vastness of his posterior, tells you why.

Tomorrow we will see most men put the shorts away.

But not all.

Some will still be out there in the cold and the rain in their inappropriate sorts, socks and sandals or socks and Crocs.

Remember them.

There’s a high chance they’ll knock on your door sometime in the coming years looking for a vote.

Just say no.
