We're going to miss the populist "big beasts" now that they're gone. Who will now tell us that "Voting Conservative will cause your wife to have bigger breasts and increase your chances of owning a BMW M3"? (Boris Johnson) Who will describe Barack Obama as "handsome, young and also suntanned"? (Silvio Berlusconi)
Who, then, will advise us to inject disinfectant into our bodies to protect ourselves from Covid-19? (Donald Trump) Or reveal that "I have five children. There were four boys. The fifth, I got weak, and a girl came." (Jair Bolsonaro) It's a loss to both the entertainment and outrage industries, but we're going to have to learn to do without them.
