Our prime minister, the statesman, and Peppa Pig

Toe-curlingly embarrassing. Our illustrious leader looking as if he's been dressed for the occasion by Oxfam and unless his notes are in order, cannot talk eloquently on any subject. Heaven help us.

Someone no doubt will be along to remonstrate about ‘another Boris bashing thread”

But seriously what support can anyone give for this fiasco? He had Covid ? He’s got a young child ?

Boris Johnson - or to give him his real name, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson - is a bumbling, tatty-looking clown.

I voted for him (as I didn't want Corbyn to win) at the last general election. Never again.

Oh my goodness it looks like Jeremy Corbyn has a lot to answer for …..

Oh you do know, hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn’t it. Seriously though voting for Corbyn, ????

? What does that mean ?

Luvvable, bumbling Boris, not so funny after a while is it - a prime minister needs to take the job seriously.

This wasn't a 'bad day at the office' it's how he is - even his most fawning of fans must see there is little substance to this flawed character.

How many who used to watch a comedy called Outnumbered remember the German exchange student saying how much the Germans loved the comedian named Boris Johnson on their tv.?
The family try to explain he isn’t a comedian, he is the Mayor of London.
Yes replies the student he plays the Mayor.
Not so funny now is it?

I remember that episode of Outnumbered, very funny.

Yes Zennomore .. who knows eh? Some are alleging that maybe the lines he forgot were the little white, powdery ones that usually keep him on track.

Goodness!

The only Boris lover who visits this thread comes up with nasty gossip. How the mighty are fallen... Or is it rats deserting a sinking ship?

This is a good point ! By the way it’s from The Times, not the Guardian….

I watched it yesterday evening. He appeared to be drunk. What an embarrassment.

Was this speech before or after a convivial lunch?

Just a thought - he doesn't have undiagnosed diabetes does he? Erratic blood sugar levels can cause confusion if unchecked

He has suddenly put on weight again, is untidy and not always coherent.

I can't stand him but I have to confess my immediate thought was that he was unwell. You are right diabetes can present like that, so can early onset dementia or a UTI. Of course alcohol can do the same.

I actually found the most disturbing bit was the ITV reporter asking if he was OK and his oh so jolly reply about how well it had gone down. It wasn't like his normal being positive, I thought it was a bit chilling. If I was Carrie I'd be trying to persuade him to see a doctor.

Me too

There is a poster on GN who says regularly ( for almost two years) that Johnson ‘will go fast’ ( meaning ousted quickly).
Well, the way that Conservatives get rid of failing leaders is always fast when it happens, unlike the Labour Party which is bogged down by protocols and can’t do anything quickly.
How I see it, is that Johnson is actually going ‘slowly’ and very much bit by bit.
They won’t get rid of him yet though.

I bet it was the result ( the fluffed speech) of wine with lunch, tiredness and the usual Boris way of winging a speech, which he does with varying levels of success.

Well he's achieved his aim hasn't he! Got us all talking about his stupid speech while over in the real world, he has got MPs are voting to rob the less well off of their homes to pay for social care, in the High Court they are questioning the PM's right to ignore parliamentary standards over Pritti Patel's bullying, the LGA is reopening their investigation into the PM's former activities to advance his mistress' business, the exposure of the VIP channel by 10 MPs and Peers to award PPE contracts to 40 of their 'mates' who had minimal experience of sourcing PPE against qualified companies with good distribution channels or the ongoing discoveries of Tory MPs focusing their attention on outside interests instead of their constituents. Which dead cat will he drop next!

the reason Boris spoke about buses a few months ago Riverwalk was so if you googled 'Boris bus' you got that speech not the bus with 'vote leave £325 million a week for the NHS' which was misleading, to put it politely, because he didn't take into account the money the EU returns to us.
I don't think he's ever been up to the job, which is why he had Dominic Cummings to do it while he just did the talks etc that he could manage but he's been totally out of his depth which is why we've had so many U-turns etc. The sooner we can vote this clown out, and the rest of the tories who've had their fingers in the till, the better. They misled the people to get votes anyway

He's a joke. Except that he's not. He's the flippin' Prime Minister for goodness sake. Help us!

I did wonder if the PM is struggling with long covid. He was certainly struggling yesterday

Boris is an embarrassing bafffoon. He is also an oaf illustrated by the recent photo of him with the French President with his feet on a coffee table!

How to embarrass a whole nation. Is he having a nervous breakdown?

Mmm - Boris Johnson and Peppa Pig in the same sentence - enough said!
