Listening to the locals in a Devon village pub, I heard this and was struck by how apt the comparison was. The topic was ex-Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his delusion that he solved the economic crisis.
“Waal, you know,” drawled one old farmer, “this Brown fellow is what was called a Fencepost Hedgehog.”
Not being familiar with the term, a tourist asked him what a Fencepost Hedgehog was. The old farmer said, “When you’re driving along a country road and you comes across a fence post with a hedgehog balanced on top, that’s called a Fencepost Hedgehog.”
The old farmer saw a puzzled look on the tourist’s face, so he continued to explain.
"You know he didn’t get up thare by himself, he definitely didn’t belong up thare, he didn’t know what to do while he was up thare, and you just have to wonder what kind of freeking idiot put him up thare in the first place.”
