Our prime minister, the statesman, and Peppa Pig

lemongrove

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!?

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

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...

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...

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.

Have you noticed that Daddy Pig is a scrotum?

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

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?

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.

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.”

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.

Boris is a grandiose narcissist. He’s a front man and puppet for the hard right of the Conservative party and clearly doesn’t have the intelligence, moral rectitude or competence to fulfill the role of Prime Minister. His ‘cluster B’ personality traits of antagonism and provocation may have worked for him as a journalist (and with people like Cummings behind him) but have no place in his current role. It is worrying to consider that he may be in a position to continue wreaking havoc in the UK, and globally, for some while to come….

'Boris Johnson is not unwell and has not lost his grip, says No 10'
= he really is that incompetent and useless.

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

Oh for goidness sake! Excuse after excuse for this clown. You don't suddenly get long covid.

Where does the PM get all this time to watch TV? I remember being in Trafalgar Square at Christmas when he was Mayor of London and the runners up of Britain's Got Talent were singing. He knew all about the show, all the acts and contestants' names. More than he does about his own job apparently.

I really wish you hadn’t pointed that out??

Why is it I'malways drinking tea or coffee whenever I see something like this !! ???
(It was a clean jumper ?)

He is, and has always been , an embarrassment,a fantasist, and self serving.

He is Bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy - according to Dominic Raab this morning. He’s definitely on his way out I’d say.

Looking forward to PMQT today!

interesting article in Times this a.m. by Daniel Finkelstein.
"He governs like he spoke yesterday. The charisma, the shambles, the unexpected diversion, the forgetting his place, the caring not much what the CBI thinks . That's who he is and what he does.
I am bemused by Conservatives who say they are shocked or disappointed or are warning him he needs to change....I mean who did any of these people imagine they were choosing as leader ." and more .Worth reading ,

What saddens me is that we could have had a competent leader throughout the pandemic and would have had a much better outcome.
