Our prime minister, the statesman, and Peppa Pig

Edith81

I’m really glad that BJ’s behaviour has been captured for all the world to see, especially the voters in this country. What have we done to deserve this incompetent fool to lead and make decisions on our behalf?

Hi Edith
It is Brexit that spawned BJ so you could blame all the Brexiteers who voted for him, plus all those who think he is a laugh and thought a home-grown Trump would blow the cobwebs off Politics.
The thing is, if he is ousted, who will replace him/ Another Brexiteer no doubt.

As a retired teacher, I rather suspect that Boris Johnson was the all too well known pupil: the one who spent his time staring out of the window instead of attending to what his school teachers were trying to teach him.

However hard you work, there are some pupils you cannot reach.

It's certainly well known that he was the one who didn't think the school rules applied to him...

Martin Hammond was Johnson’s housemaster. Writing of him in a school report in April 1982, he said: “Boris really has adopted a disgracefully cavalier attitude to his classical studies . . . Boris sometimes seems affronted when criticised for what amounts to a gross failure of responsibility (and surprised at the same time that he was not appointed Captain of the School for next half): I think he honestly believes that it is churlish of us not to regard him as an exception, one who should be free of the network of obligation which binds everyone else.”

Thanks Pepine for posting the link an hour or so ago to Jeremy Vine's Facebook post. I read it with growing concern since it illustrates how Boris gets away with waffling and covering up the fact that he has no idea what is going on and doesn't care. I suppose the clever Tory MPs who are allowing him to make a mess of our country may have a cunning plan to get rid of him in a bit once they have achieved their goals of permanently ruining our society and our economy. They are already half way there.

Dearie me..we really are the laughing stock. Poor business people listening to that peacock

Have you noticed that Daddy Pig is a scrotum?

CvD66, you got there before me. This is all over the news, instead of the fact that the Care Bill has just been voted through. Can't decide if it is just another deliberate cynical distraction, or that he is losing the plot. And talking about plots, keep an eye out for Gove and Sarah Vine getting together again. If they do, for real or for ambition, it could be a sign that they are being prepped to replace the Johnsons in Number 10.

If there were a leadership challenge would the grassroots Tories re-elect him even if Tory MPs didn't want him?

The grass roots tory party is notoriously elederly. He has probably (excuse me for being tasteless) killed off a great many of them with his laissez faire approach to covid 19 and no doubt alienated a few more with his social care 'plan'.

If tory MPs don't want him Don't the aspirants to the leadership get voted on by the MPs to whittle the list down before the 'finalists' are voted on by the party membership? Would the MPs let him go through again?

I wonder when his next scheduled speech to a serious audience is...

Nothing wrong with mixing up notes and losing your place - could happen to the most excellent of national leader, but this was totally cringeworthy!

It was reminiscent of his totally made-up claim when asked about his hobbies and he garbled something about making a bus from wine boxes. He is such a psued.

He was addressing the CBI.

Peppa Pig

Also thinks he is Moses too and made car noises in the speech. So we have a Peppa Pig obsessed Moses with a car mad primeminister ? Think it says it all for the politics of our country

What a boost for Peppa Pig World!
I think Johnson should wear a Daddy Pig t shirt in the HOC just to follow it up.?

Grandpa Pig, surely!?

The strategic vote is essential to stop them getting in again , abstention allows the bad to triumph, we all must vote to Stop Them getting in again, have we all forgotten THAT WOMAN. And the utter despair and destruction she put the country in? Seems so

USA had trump - we have Doris. At least USA have eradicated their rot! He's lazy, a liar, bighead of epic proportions, and has caused more damage to UK than we could ever have imagined. The sooner he's kicked down the drain where he belongs the better. What IS the conservative obsession with saving dosh anyway? What use savings if we're living in dire straits? Typical wealthy miser syndrome. Scrooge at its worst, denying the people the fruits of their labour, we all work like idiots to reap a meagre pension(whenever that materialises?) And they bang on about how little of our taxes they're spending on the services we actually need!!! What IS the 'rainy day' they're saving for? We live but once, why do they make life so very miserable for so many, cruel isn't in it!

I wonder if he really cannot cope with actually being the PM - he wanted it for power and glory but not the hard work and the difficult challenges. As mayor of London apparently he delegated most of the hard work. Recently he has ducked out of being where he should be - for instance being on the front bench when there were questions about standards and his attempt to change the rules for one of his friends. He was "on a long standing visit" to a hospital. He has also put others in front of the cameras when as PM he should have been there. So I am wondering if he is having a kind of break down - the job is more of a burden than he expected and nothing in his earlier life has prepared him for the focus, discipline and stamina the job requires. We don't need him at number 10 - we would be far better off if and when he departs. That leaves the key question about who replaces him......

Tbh I'm hoping he stays the course because then we may be able to get this bunch of thieves and liars out once and for all!! Anyone half compus mentis may get voted in again!!!? Perish the thought.....

As far as most of us north of Watford, it never worked! Qualifications needed to raise a laugh? Humour! What an utter fool.

Forgive me but who is ?/what is ? if having spelled correctly, peppa pig ?.

Yes, he messed up (as he has done in other ways) but two questions spring to mind. If there were a leadership challenge would the grassroots Tories re-elect him even if Tory MPs didn't want him? Would the Tories win a general election without him as leader given the state of the opposition parties?

An interesting point.
I think Conservative members may still vote to keep him.....but only if he keeps a lid on any more political stumbles.MP’s may be less kind.
It all depends on how we do as a country in the next year and how he copes with it.

So embarrasing for a PM to act like that, whats happening,time after time, just when we think things cant get worse.
His clothes, his hair,are embarrasing enough this man is leading our country.At least wear a face mask Boris.

Great orator….
If you haven’t read Jeremy Vine’s account of Johnson oratory prowess, do have a look below.

But he should not , in his position as prime Minister,be making mistakes like that, no matter what he's got.
The sooner people stop making excuses for him and wake up to the fact that the man is a complete charlatan the better. He is a laughing stock abroad. ~Does this do our country any good?

Good grief that was an embarrassment for him and on the world stage for UK
Some people have voted in a total idiot and we must be the laughing stock of the world
I will never understand why a sane ( well are we? ) nation could vote in such a incompetent fool and …..keep him in

He sounded like he had a bad cold IMO. Remember he’s got young children who can easily pick up germs etc.
BTW I have never voted conservative
