It's Incredible how James Cleverly has managed to fill the void in British politics with even more void. How is that physically possible? The man is a genius.
He is not even a void, for a void has dimensions. He is, if there is such a thing, an absence of void. His mind is what you get when you take a void and remove it. When he walks into a room, everyone looks around to see who just left. After a conversation with him you leave having become less knowledgeable. In Mathematical terms, he is the square root of i.
Long after James Cleverly is forgotten, I pray that Michael Spicer will be remembered, as the phenomenal writer and performer he truly is, thanks Michael
Translated from British English: "I have so much unbridled hostility towards this man, that if released, would make Krakatoa look like a Christmas cracker!"
"But the point that I have made is..." ...that I am entirely unfit for public office. Or indeed any office where the job responsibility is greater than sorting paperclips by colour.
Or being responsible for looking after the staples, for the office staplers, keeping a record of who has been issued with a new clip, and when, and sacking those who waste staples. But, even that might be beyond Jimmy Dimly?
Best part of this is that as an American I have the added benefit of not knowing who James Cleverly is while at the same time getting to laugh at his expense. Truly an inspirational figure.
James Cleverly is a towering politician, I won't hear a word against him. Look at his list of achievements. He's done... And there was that time he.... And let's not forget...Oh, and surely everyone remembers when he... Imagine how bad things must truly be for this man to end up as Home Secretary. Home Secretary!
That tribute to James Cleverly brought tears to my eyes. What a lovely bloke. A real comedian. I bet he has loads of giggles to himself as he spikes his wife's drinks. And to be so honest about it demonstrates what an honest and harmless prankster he is. His foggy brained wife must be chuffed that he goes so far to keep her in place. A real icon for other virtuously abusive husbands throughout the UK and beyond.

This is amazing, very amazingly amazing. Deadpan expression, deadpan delivery, flat, dead voice presentation, YET, just below the surface, a bubbling lava stream of anger, frustration, annoyance, and, oh yes, more anger. Oh, and by the way, a real gentleman never, NEVER, wears a hat indoors. I loved that, watched it twice. So far!
As a non-Brit, I was not aware of James Cleverly before starting this video. And after finishing it I also wish I was James Cleverly. What a delightful man.
I don’t think anyone is really “aware” of James Cleverly. We know someone of that description exists, we’ve heard of the name. But to be truly “aware” of James Cleverly suggests a kind of enlightenment that I don’t think any of us are really capable of.
A friend of mine had a visit from James Cleverly at his office. He kept making awkward jokes then when no one laughed he'd go "You can all laugh now" 😅
What is Cleverly doing, going around everyone’s office giving out sweets? What about those of us who don’t work in offices? How do we get our James Cleverly sweets?
If anyone truly deserves to be presenting some kind of railway documentary, it’s James Cleverly. A true giant in the field of the type of people who deserve to be presenting some kind of railway documentary.
Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well. To what do I owe the extreme pleasure of this surprising visit by James Cleverly? The only addtion to this would be a glass of Moloko Plus to wash down the Cadbury Heroes.
I swear to god, because of the black and white, as soon as the first image of James Cleverly appeared, who I didn't know prior to this video, I kept thinking it's Michael Spicer... So maybe he already is James Cleverly
The detail of the visible ringlight, with an arc of it reflected in one lens of the glasses, perturbed me. I suspect it is based on some horrible reality which lurks outside my bubble. Unlike James Cleverly's actions, which have leaked in. Thank you for the slightly grim entertainment.
For someone to stand out in British politics for their ability to speak and say absolutely nothing with such mastery is, ironically, really saying something. After the Tory implosion is complete he'll be on our screens again. 'Hi I'm James Cleverly,and this is my MasterClass'
When speaking, they say that "everything before the "but" is a lie. "Not so" always apologies (for his many gaffs) and follows it with a "but . . . .".
I was once told that the definition of a boring person is that when that person leaves a room, it's like someone really interesting just just walked in.

Something that is less than nothing. 😂
@@doctordeej"When he walks into a room everyone looks around to see who left."
Absolutely brilliant. Bravo!
Docterdeej, ur comment about him walking into a room made me laugh out loud. That's the best line I've heard in ages.😂
"A harmless witticism about sexual assault."
Hat tipped. A wonderful line.

James who??
Translated from British English: "I have so much unbridled hostility towards this man, that if released, would make Krakatoa look like a Christmas cracker!"
I totally didn't duck out of a work teams meeting to watch this as soon as it was released
I totally didn't either.... 👀😂
I did
Pfft amateurs. I created a two hour teams meeting to ensure I have enough time to watch this 50 times on loop.
You three make me feel better about watching this while on disability benefits.
@@ascgazz You go queen! :D
"But the point that I have made is..."
...that I am entirely unfit for public office. Or indeed any office where the job responsibility is greater than sorting paperclips by colour.
sorting paperclips by colour seems a bit racist, innit?
Sorting by their size then? But that MAY be a bit beyond Cleverly from Braintree......
Or being responsible for looking after the staples, for the office staplers, keeping a record of who has been issued with a new clip, and when, and sacking those who waste staples. But, even that might be beyond Jimmy Dimly?

definitely one of the politicians of all time
James Cleverly, a man on a one-man mission to prove nominative determinism a fallacy.
I'm not so sure. James means "supplanter/assailant".
If only more readers of your comment understood it. But it is excellent 😂😂
To add to the irony, his constituency is Braintree, a place which I can only assume has suffered extensive deforestation.
@@SheeplessNW6 PMSL!

Very thickerly.

@@mattblack6736 Jim Nice But Dim, eh...
Even saying James cleverly over and over again makes me laugh 🎉
Cleverly from Braintree.
It's all there. No one could dispute that, surely?
Genius 😂
Watertight facts. Lock it up boys, there's nothing negative to be said about this man. It's just not scientifically viable.
Hahahaha
He fell from a what!?!
@@dannybowden5296 Braintree is the town where he's MP.
Wonderful rhythm. "With a brain like a Macbook Air". If I had a hat on, I'd take it off to you Mr Spicer.
And I thought Liz Truss was shit! Thanks for telling me all I need to know about this man.
*THAT WAS* sublime genius - the Bowler hat made it
Does anybody remember 'Danger Mouse'? James Cleverly is Penfold. The clueless, pointless hamster. "Ooooh, Chief!"
That's so unfair.... To Penfold
@@va2011 Yes Mark Gino Francois (who has never gotten over having a foreign middle and surname as well as being born far too late to avoid fighting in WW2), this porcine leader of one of the Five Fuckup Families far more closely resembles Penfold.
Penfold was likeable
James Cleverly for the new series of Terry and June.
Nah, Michael Gove is bad acid Penfold.

As a Brit not many of us are aware of James Cleverley either. I would like to be his female equivalent though
I'm not British and this channel forms my entire insight into British politics 😂
British politics is actually way sillier than all of the attempts to parody it.
@@patchso: …..and tragic.
That apology was so heartfelt, he left a millisecond before , "but the point is....".
As an American, I had to google all this because I had no idea what you were talking about and couldn't believe it was real. Lordy.
And after he’s failed at being a government minister enough, he will be made a Lordy.
James Cleverly the Musical. Count me in!
It only lasts a few minutes!
Wait James is an actual MP? I thought he was a satirical genius...😮 Next you'll be telling me Boris Johnson is real 🙄
I also claim I called a person shitholes when i get caught out calling people's constituencies shitholes
This video was very Cleverly done
Laughing is bad when it prevents you from breathing. Ironically I nearly passed out on the line "a brain like a macbook air".
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The brilliance of that joke took a moment to sink in fully...
A gift to the rich political landscape of the UK.
I thought Cleverly was a W⚓️ but now you’ve completely changed my mind. Thanks.
“With a brain like a MacBook Air” 🤣
James Cleverly - a shiver looking for a spine to run up.
Whichever rail documentary he ends up presenting I'm sure it will be cleverly written, although, not by him, obviously.
Fantastic as always thanks Michael
Cleverly done. That music...
Nominative determinism in reverse.
Nominative reversism.
it's weird, same in France, bunch of people that I can imagine in a lot of places, but not doing politics.
A friend of mine had a visit from James Cleverly at his office. He kept making awkward jokes then when no one laughed he'd go "You can all laugh now" 😅
What is Cleverly doing, going around everyone’s office giving out sweets? What about those of us who don’t work in offices? How do we get our James Cleverly sweets?
"That apology was heartfelt" is such a bizarre thing to say about your own apology.
Indeed. Bizarrely may a more appropriate surname
No-one will ever rise to the level of James Cleverley, at least not until they put lead back into paint.
Love this!!! Now do one about our favourite 19th century fictional character, Jacob Rees Mogg!!! Pleeeeease.
Ooohhh yesss!! Soo much material to choose from!
He's an inspiration. All other aliens pretending to be human could learn from him, he's almost convincing.
My days of not knowing who the hell James Cleverly is have drawn to a close. My days of not giving a shit have only just begun.
If anyone truly deserves to be presenting some kind of railway documentary, it’s James Cleverly. A true giant in the field of the type of people who deserve to be presenting some kind of railway documentary.
All power to you Michael Spicer
This has strong vibes of 'chill-out room of a club in Berlin' circa 2007
Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well. To what do I owe the extreme pleasure of this surprising visit by James Cleverly? The only addtion to this would be a glass of Moloko Plus to wash down the Cadbury Heroes.
He's so pointy, maybe he's a star
This is my 4th time watching this. Gold
Nailed James Cleverly's ass to the floorboards🤣🤣🤣
I have James Cleverly tattooed on my chest. Both inside and outside.
More points than a tone-deaf hedgehog.
On behalf of Hedgehogs, I’m sorry you meant that… we’re all highly musical……
@@markherzog9484 Username checks out. My humble apologies.
The point is, his apologies are ❤️ felt, here have a tin of something.
Cleverly has all the intellectual capacity of a rocking horse!
Perfect Michael just perfect
Your speech shows you are totally fitted to be James un-Cleverly. 👍👍
It's not a backlog. It's a queue.
Select Hearing tearing him apart!
There is no denying James Cleverly is an icon of our time, they just arn't very good times.
Absolutely brilliant, Michael.
"How much sarcasm do you want in this video?"
Micheal: "Y E S ."
Love Michael Spicer! I want to be like him. I really want to be Michael Spicer! There is something about him that inspires me to be him!

'with a brain like a MacBook, Air'. Genius. Also, could you come round my place when I'm stoned, Please? You're a genius
Awww, tories are just so much better! Thanks for reminding me that basic truth.

Thank you for the slightly grim entertainment.
Noooo! Railway documentaries are fine without James Cleverly, thank you very much ;)
Cleverly, a shining wit.
Very clever-lee (Anderson) done… 👍🏿👍
Descent sketch. Totally laughing so hard 🤣
Ah bro why did you dissappear from my feed?!?!? Glad you're back, thanks to the all powerful algorithm.
I wish you were James Cleverly too
But how would you know? Wouldn’t he just be James Cleverly?
The pan is dead.

"A brain like a macbook air" 😂😂
I feel ever so slightly offended on behalf of railway documentary presenters.
Totally brilliant Michael. Thank you
I’ve never seen a video so thickly laced with sarcasm
Ah a born again J.C. disciple 🤣
James cleverly of Braintree. Has there ever been a bigger misnomer in the history of human existence
How can one man be so ineptly named? It's almost as though he named himself.
I think this is the best of all your videos haha. “A brain like a MacBook Ayre”
He's a one-man crusade against nominative determinism.
A man seemingly on a mission to disprove nominative determinism
At last someone else who gets James' inherent genius and talents!!! 😅
The point that was made was the point that was made and that’s the point.
No treaty’s or pointy’s will this man go to fine content and interpretation keep up the fine satire
James Cleverly - he rose without a trace
Very well done. So many points raised. That was so good.😂❤
If I had to sum up James in one word: beige
Thank you
When speaking, they say that "everything before the "but" is a lie. "Not so" always apologies (for his many gaffs) and follows it with a "but . . . .".

Furious E. L. Wisty. I like it.
Wait, James Cleverly is the Home Secretary? Oh.
Very good, cheers
A man who has a Masters in insincere apologies and a lot of points to make, that he can’t actually verbalise…….
This feels like a new Jam sketch.
so cleverly written
James Cleverly - proving that *_mouth-breathers_* too can be totally devoid of self-respect.
Mrs Thatcher was the milk snatcher...whilst Cleverly jokes about being the snatch milker.....'shakes head'...
Not to mention his little warhammer models
