"The source likened Johnson to Zaphod Beeblebrox, a character in the science fiction comedy The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Self-obsessed with a gargantuan ego, Beeblebrox was briefly president of the galaxy – a role said to have no power at all other than to distract attention from whoever was really in charge.
“He is a Zaphod Beeblebrox. Other people will be running the galaxy. He’d need a good chancellor, a good foreign secretary and a good home secretary. He’d have to let them get on with his job.”
A good quote from the Granuad.
