Our prime minister, the statesman, and Peppa Pig

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

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.

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.

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.

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…

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

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!

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

westendgirl Wed 24-Nov-21 11:19:08

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 ,

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

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

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

Have you noticed that Daddy Pig is a scrotum?

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

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 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.

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….
