But then he can’t really say if he’s strictly an optimist or a pessimist and, no, doesn’t know if he’s an extrovert or an introvert, either. “I’ve never really thought about it. I don’t know what that tells you.” He doesn’t know what he dreamed last night – or ever: “I don’t dream.” Just hits the pillow at 11 and – “bang” – is out till around 5. He doesn’t have a favourite novel or poem, wasn’t scared of anything as a child. “Nothing. No phobias.” Hmmm, this is harder than I thought. What about his lovely heather-coloured tie, where is it from and who chose it? He takes it between finger and thumb. “Would you say heather? I had it down as slightly darker.” Quick-fire is perhaps not his format.
He doesn't believe anything, doesn't dream, get excited, love or hate. Total WEF robot. And this was from a Guardian puff piece of a journo eager to humanise him for the last election.

That's all of them, though. Boris, Farage, Cameron, and others have tried playing that card and been called out on it repeatedly. The only differences are how well some keep the mask up and how desperate their supporters are for the masks to not be fake.
He such an NPC leader, it takes a literal court judgement for him to go 'yes, woman means biologically female, beep boop beep'
Literally.
