Christmas repeats: UK PM copies 'Love Actually' spoof

Boris Johnson on Tuesday faced claims of plagiarism, after copying a spoof version of a scene from the hit Christmas film "Love Actually" as part of his election campaign.

Britain's prime minister is seen in a social media clip taking the part of actor Andrew Lincoln, who turns up to profess his undying love for Keira Knightley by showing her flashcards.

One of the cards Johnson shows a householder in his "Vote Conservative Actually" clip says: "With any luck, by next year we'll have Brexit done (if Parliament doesn't block it again).

"Your vote has never been more important, the other guy could win, so you have a choice to make between a working majority or another gridlocked hung parliament."
A third online parody of the scene has Johnson as the householder answering the door to Trump, who tells him: "With any luck by next year you'll be selling off the NHS."
