Boris manspreading!!

I’m very grateful to be filled in with the backstory (or context) of said photograph, but can’t think why it had to be explained so many times

Sadly atqui, based on the pages of posts (even allowing for those rivalling War and Peace) there are many who still take it at face value or a justification for strong opinions one way or another.

"no, this was a thread set up because I clicked on the Guardian and saw a picture. How on earth do you know what's going on in other peoples heads?"

Because you saw a picture you made an assumption without finding out what the back story was, the facts, therefore you made the assumption that suited your opinion which was to have a go at individual you dislike. That is how it is easy to understand what is in other peoples heads.

When the facts don't matter, the context is of no importance or even when the context is made clear the facts known they carry on because the object was never the photo it was hate for the individual.

If a picture of the kind in question arouses the heckles and causes such vitriol then sorry I think it says it all.

It's a picture of our PM in an undignified pose POGS. He's supposed to be a representative of our country, he's supposed to be a statesman, he's supposed to be a diplomat. Not an overgrown schoolboy who puts his feet up because someone suggests it. You can't escape the image whatever the back story. It was a mistake. It was stupid- but that's Boris.

Yes.

Really? I'm sorry about the dressing gown, its so hot. The room needs a dust too.

Thank you I will take that as a complement.

I am reminded of a post you made to Anniebach recently. :-

The thing is Annie, we get it, you can't stand him. You have given some reasons why. It's done now.

You are clearly an intelligent and capable person, turn your thoughts and energies elsewhere.

Maybe time to practice what you preach.

too thick to understand what happened


I think most people know now what happened, even those who aren't keen on Boris, unless they really, really hate Boris in which case they will never get it.
It was a joke.

Some of the media didn't get it.

Well judging by the photos from the G Summit they all look very happy. There's a picture of Angela Merkel beaming at Boris. Alongside a jovial Macron.

Quite unusual to see such happy faces. They tend to look as if they've all been sucking lemons as a rule.

Oh but that's just a photo Minniemoo you don't know the back story

Very good, trisher. Made me smile. I love a good riposte.

I think I'd look happy if I was in Biarritz
