The title of this thread makes me laugh every time I see it.

Seems like things are coming back to bite him.

Does anyone remember the late Rod Hull and his aggressive emu puppet? Clearly Mr Hull knew more about the nature of these creatures than we suspected.
I understand that they are creatures of very very little brain.

Oh dear hope he's OK.
I liked Boris because he started furlough, eat out to help out, pubs open if you had a meal, cost of living payment etc. All to help small businesses survive in the pandemic, and help families with their bills.
Yes he broke the rules but so did lots of people I know.

Yes, it helped businesses and families but could also have contributed to the financial mess his party left the country in…..

I miss Boris too. Never a dull moment.

Do we know he has actually broken any rules?
The North Texas Safari Park states:
Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a short drive-through experience from the comfort of their vehicles, where you will get up close & personal with many of our animals from all over the world. Here you will have the chance to feed exotic animals such as ostrich .
The only rules are to keep doors closed and no hanging OUT of windows.

I watched it. It is funny, but I'm more intrigued as to why it looks like he is wearing a suit when visiting a safari park?

Couldn’t have happened to anyone better.

Still showing the ‘rules don’t apply to me’ attitude he apparently had at Eton and during Covid. What a child he still is.

Driving a car round a safari park animal enclosure and opening the window with a small child on his lap. What could possibly go wrong.

Quite. What an idiot.

I have a photo taken on a school trip of my DD walking past the ostrich enclosure.
One of the ostriches has leaned over the fence and is trying to grab DD's pony tail in its beak. DD was completely oblivious.

Oh dear, poor Boris 😁

Is the ostrich OK ? 🤣

I hear a vet has been sent to check it out😂

I’d just seen it! Made me laugh.
“Oh cripes, f---ing hell,” the former PM is heard shouting in video shared on social media by his wife Carrie.

Good to know he's supporting American tourism

Anyone else seen the picture in the Telegraph of Boris being pecked by an Ostrich as he drove round a safari park? That’ll teach him to drive around with the windows open. Lucky it wasn’t a lion. It’s quite funny - well I thought so and I’m not a Boris hater.

That does sound funny and I liked Boris too.
