Boris manspreading!!

To think that this will go around the world.

What loutish behaviour.

No matter what your politics, this looks bad.

Disgusting and so so rude, arrogant and uncouth. Incredible

Ew really? I find Macron quite repellent.

I am not too bothered about how he is sitting but just want a good deal on the ***** Brexit after 3years.

He must feel comfortable in his company. Good job the wife isn't around !

If it were found that any member of staff in our company (and i would belive any company) sat with his feet on the furniture while in the presence of a client or customer he/she would be subject to disciplinary procedure and i believe that any member of management would want that person "out the door".

What a spectacle of a leader to place before the world.

Macron is Mr Suave compared to Johnson

" the wife" which one? or the " special friend"

Macron's wife as it's their place isn't it ?

Comfortable? He looks horrendous. Can't imagine Madam M. duster in hand.

Johnson as a man has no respect for any person, any other persons property or even himself.

He is total tu*d of the first order.

mmm Grandad, I like your style.

Look at the film clip on channel 4 news and see what really happened.

The French president appeared to indicate the table would work equally well as a footstool should the prime minister want to recline, which Mr Johnson then did.
All this "pearl clutching" on this thread for such a minor detail! Really?????

I think this is a worthwhile discussion, thank you Lessismore.

Johnson's posture appears to be something about 'claiming' the space. However, to my eyes it looks rude and juvenile.

I'm no fan of Boris, but they were joking around - nothing to see here really.

The important thing is that President Macron intimated for the first time that the Withdrawal Agreement could possibly be amended.

Some people don't 'get' jokes though Maggiemaybe, petra and Opal

Or take everything they see at face value without investigating the story behind the picture.

Oh you are so right petra, Boris was just having a jolly jape. All is right with the world. Chuck out Johny Foreigner and we will all be home in time for supper.

Of course, it could be a good ruse by Jean Foreigner (sic) who invited Boris Johnson to try out the table as a footstool knowing full well the photographers, pearl clutchers etc around the world would fall for it.

Boris shouldn't have fallen for the sly move though!

This thread is very amusing, though, petra!

From the pearl-clutching through the gasps of indignation to utter pomposity

Boris can hold discussions with Macron "stark b****ck naked, standing on his head whilst singing the national anthem" !!!

At least he is talking to European leaders and trying to find something that our "numpty" MPs might vote for (as opposed to Theresa Mays WDA that was rejected on 3 occasions)
