He was always perceived as "a bit of a character", who would bend the rules with a twinkle in his eye etc. and get away with it.

He isnt the new Messiah (or even the new Churchill) he is just a very naughty boy, who has bullshitted his way through life and thinks he will do whatever he wants and always talk his way out of it.
