Just how representative is Boris of the average UK citizen?

BJ has always been a national embarrassment. TM gave him a job to try to shut him up but he is without doubt the very worst foreign secretary we have ever had. Theresa May has the power to sack him and that is exactly what she ought to do.

Can’t stand Boris Johnson and wouldn’t believe anything he said. He is a dangerous man.

I have never really believed in the validity of the Nobel Peace Prize since it was awarded to Henry Kissinger. I have never once believed in the validity of Boris Johnson.

I consider myself an average UK citizen and I have Eastern European, Nigerian and Asian blood - none of it royal.

What baggs said.

So Boris is supporting what Mr Moon of South Korea said.

Disagreeing with the suggestion that Mr Moon made does not make it an unreasonable suggestion in terms of global politics.

My personal view? Couldn't care less one way or the other. It's all fudge.

Well I don't think Boris is anything like an average British Citizen.

He was not solely a UK citizen until recently. He was a dual US/UK citizen until 2016. He obviously tones down his name, officially Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, to create a more ordinary, man of the people image.

Then there is his very interesting European background which is fascinating if anyone watched his "Who do you think you are?" episode. He has Muslim, Jewish and Christian heritage from the family's background in Turkey, France, Russia, US & UK. But he obviously keeps it toned down for his political career:
- Boris has blood ties to Turkish elites through his paternal grandfather great Ali Kemal - who was a journalist and politician but was asassinated in Turkish political unrest. The family adopted the name Johnson in Britain
- he is a descendent of German, Prussian and French aristocracy and royalty.

So hardly your average UK citizen

Boris said that if Trump secured a treaty between the Koreas and got a better deal with Iran then he was as deserving of the Nobel Peace prize as Barack Obama, who was awarded it before he had actually achieved anything. As a comment it was, for Boris, pretty unexceptionable.

Spot on MawBroon!

But if you were to put Boris in a melting pot..........
Solve any fuel crisis? Or is the hot air he spouts enough? ?

I think if you took the whole population of the UK and put them into a melting pot you would not come out with a Boris.

Simple answer
Not at all.

Yes, the whole message is that if he brokers peace between North and South Korea, and Iran, then there may be possible Nobel Peace Prize nomination
Not that strange, when Obama was given it for no reason at all.

he hasn't "fixed" anything ,America is largely responsible for the situation between N and S Korea ...and wait until Trump ACTUALLY has to move HIS nuclear weapons off Korean ground before he gets plaudits for peace.Of course IF he moves them maybe we can convince him to do the same with those housed here !

If he fixes Iran and North Korea crises.

Best to put the rest of the headline.

Not saying I agree with him though.
