I think my imagining was better

Spotted a newspaper placard saying something like 'Johnson threatened by imposters'.

And where my mind went to was a zap action* involving people in Boris masks and wigs showing up and taunting him in public places, which I think would be rather cool.

But apparently it is Boris fulminating that a 'sinister band of imposters' was using his name to post social media attacks on T May, P Hammond, etc.

*Though I'm not at all sure that that article is entirely correct, because it seems to be claiming that they were a means of LGBT protest in the early 70s, and there were various feminist zaps in the late 60s by e.g. the Redstockings and WITCH (Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell), like hexing Wall Street, and indeed I have a recollection that they were practised by other radical groups of the day.

My mind went straight to Capgras Syndrome...

Thing is, he does such a perfect job of being a buffoon that potential impostors have nowhere left to go. How do you out-caricature a caricature?

"Boris Johnson and the Imposters" doesn't have the same ring as the original.
