So Boris, the Oxford man, has an "Everyman" shtick that has wide appeal. Smart man.
Politicians who are so smart as to become something else are a bit scary, hard to trust if they are mostly an act.
I suspect this is mostly for public consumption and he dropped this when actually working. Thus maybe it is just his interfacing with the people shtick. And then it is mostly harmless.
