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

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

flouncy - sounds promising!

Says how great Peppa pig is and what a great export forgetting he has crippled the arts which is where this stuff comes from

Here’s the full glory of the Tigger song.

The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is
I'm the only one
Tiggers are cuddly fellas
Tiggers are awfully sweet
Ev'ryone el-us is jealous
That's why I repeat... and repeat
The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are marvelous claps!
They're loaded with vim and vigor
They love to leap in your laps!
They're jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, thumpy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is
I'm the only one
I-I-I'm, the only... oof!
Ouch!

If you were the PM, would you be thrilled to be described as jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, thumpy - actually though it is quite accurate, if not flattering…

What is the matter with this man for goodness sake

I read that last night. I agree. What is wrong with him. And what happened to his weight loss plan after he suffered from covid? It seems to me that this is a man who has no self control over anything;. Food, women etc: doesn’t even have any control over the rubbish that comes out of his mouth. I despair that he is PM of this country.

Actually I have a theory. He is in fact deeply anti mask wearing but not allowed to say so, therefore he does this kind of thing to send subliminal…or not so subliminal..messages of support to the anti mask wearing fraternity!

My theory, as I've said on another thread, is that after Covid he is physically unable to tolerate wearing a mask and so takes it off at every opportunity, even in a hospital. He'd be better off stating this, if it's true, rather than be constantly seen flouting the guidelines.

Out and about on the tubes & buses these past few days I see mask-wearing is down to about 50%. From my non-scientific observations, in the early days it was practically 100% and up until quite recently it was approximately 75%.

Is it any wonder that adherence is down when the silly buffoon sets such an example.

His father is exactly the same when it comes to mask wearing so I would assume it’s more of a mental problem than a physical one and is because neither of them want todo anything they’re told to even if it is for the sake of everyone around them. I agree that his obesity doesn’t help. If he jogs and plays tennis I can’t see that he has a breathing problem though.

He is obese and looks very unhealthy.

I doubt he jogs and plays tennis for any length of time - we only see convenient snapshots.
