It's a vague attempt to dissociate 'Boris' the lovable scamp media persona exemplified by HIGNFY and media taint licking from 'Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson', our current bumbling if not sinisterly incompetent prime minister.

I wouldn't call it vague. Like Gideon George Osborne, Boris uses his more ordinary sounding names to encourage familiarity and make people overlook the fact that he's a toff bastard who burned a £20 in front of a homeless person so he could smash up restaurants and get his dad to pay the repairs and whose closest connection with the proletariat is to fail to tip his barista. It's not at all like calling Trump "Drumpf" to make him sound stupid.

It's a great movie, but it has some terrible politics, like all Nolan's films.
Funny you should mention that, I was watching a video about the Joker (Nolan / Ledger) and all of the soundbites from Nolan are basically "anarchy scares me" and I don't know if it's his accent but it really has an overall air of being horrified at the idea of disturbing the status quo.

I do want to see Interstellar though because it has Hans Zimmer's best crescendo that isn't Time from Inception:

btw repeatedly calling johnson "de pfeffel" has identical energy to #theresistance types calling their president "drumpf"

counterpoint: Drump tried to own Trump by "well actually"ing the pronunciation of his name according to his hometown, referring to Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson by his full, pompous name is more to highlight the absurdity of this man of the people having that loving name

That's why the best option is Parliament sitting in Scotland. Not sure where they'd assemble though.

Edinburgh already has a Parliament building but I'm not sure they'd share. Glasgow would be the obvious other option but I'm not sure what buildings there are with a lot of seats that cater to Unionists other than Ibrox.

That depends entirely on how you phrase it.

"May got a bad deal, Johnson can't get a deal, and No Deal is disastrous for the country. We will try to get a good deal, because we will drop May's dangerous red lines that stopped the country from getting a good deal." isn't far off the truth.
