In what is fast being regarded as the craziest appointment since Roman emperor Caligula made his horse a consul, British PM Boris Johnson has appointed a weird close friend with a shoe fetish like Imelda Marcos as the new ambassador to Australia after Brexit . Little Darwin's exclusive photograph shows the shock appointee , Little Tich , wearing a pair of outlandish shoes from his vast collection.
It has been pointed out that Little Tich looks like the late Australian celebrity Graham Kennedy , famous for his skill at imitating the mating call of crows.
These are the shoes the ambassador will wear when he presents his credentials at a knees up in Government House , Canberra . They are said to have been worn by Queen Victoria when she danced the Highland Fling with Mr Brown . Naturally , Ambassador Tich will not be allowed to wear the outlandish footwear when he graces the Melbourne Cup as his flip flopping will spook the caffeine doped nags .
