“Eccentrics, like tall poppies, are ironed flat by society
They are seen as a threat to it’s stability model
Well I won’t be ironed flat
I will stand up and be myself
My eccentricities you will just have to accept
Modify your model, society

In UK they’re treasured

I dunno, Don – my country may be full of eccentrics but it’s in a miserable state nonetheless. I do agree that we should embrace eccentricity (just maybe not in the form of a bicycle-riding PM with a bad hair-do).

If you are eccentric and famous in UK, like Ken Dodd, or Spike Milligan, you are treasured. If you are not people just say you’re a ‘nut job!’
As for Boris, he just falls in-between!
