Angus Dayton used to host that show

He couldn’t keep it in his pants, so was ridiculed by the guests (including Hislop)

That led to him resigning

Which led to Boris Johnson hosting a few episodes

A charismatic buffoon, that catapulted him to wider attention

He was then selected for London mayor

During the 2012 Olympics he was pushed further into the world’s eye

That led to him being a key role one way or another in brexit. He flipped a coin and backed Leave.

That backing tipped the scales and road to leave

That eventually led to him becoming PM, after a lucky backstabbing by Gove in 2017, meaning he managed to get a large majority in 2019

It’s an interesting example of the butterfly effect.

I think it was Dayton's drug use that caused the initial situation.

Possibly, such a long time ago.

The tactics that won brexit with vote leave were used later to elect trump.

It amuses me to think how the world can change from tiny changes
