Unlike Boris Johnson, Inspector Clouseau usually gets things right in the end

Watching the defectives: Peter Sellers in ‘The Pink Panther Strikes Again’ (1976), one of his six outings as the bumbling Inspector Clouseau (Rex)

I must take issue with Patrick Cockburn’s analogy comparing Boris Johnson to Inspector Clouseau.

Although it is several years since I last had the pleasure of watching the Pink Panther films, my recollection is that, despite his bumbling incompetence, Clouseau’s cases always, surprisingly, arrived at a satisfactory conclusion.
