So don't worry that you don't get it.I don't get other people's opinions. We all know that nobody will change anyone's mind about this. Some are pleased, some are not. Just like a lot of things in life

Exactly Minniemoo

Can anymore be said on the subject?

let's try "What's good about Bercow?"

"What's good about Corbyn?"

just for a start.

We could go through every member of the HOC.

He's just another Prime Minister. Most of them didn't have to go through trial by social media before they took office. It's a relatively new phenomenon that people in the public eye get pulled to pieces by their online critics whether it is justified or not.

We all seem to find dislike/hatred/vitriol quite easy, sadly, and this is on a forum for 'older people' too.

Let's be honest though, just as when Theresa May was voted into office....there wasn't really any alternative, was there? When the candidates were first announced, it was obvious who would win...the rest were 'also-rans'.

He got us into this mess so it'll be good to see him attempt to get us out of it #notholdingmybreath

He reminds me of an 8 year old child , I'm sorry but I don't see the attraction.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
We'll have to wait and see what he makes of the job.

brilliant?

He's a brilliant man. He's also got a personality. Mayor of London twice. There are obviously a lot of people who do like him. Just like some like Jeremy Corbyn, Trump, Thatcher, Farage etc etc. So don't worry that you don't get it.I don't get other people's opinions. We all know that nobody will change anyone's mind about this. Some are pleased, some are not. Just like a lot of things in life.

He is a lying bumbling idiot and that is the best I could say about him. The rest is unrepeatable.

I can’t believe this is happening!!!!

He's fun, as well as being clever.

This from Shakespear's Twelfth Night: Wise enough to play the fool.

Please, anybody tell me. I just don't get it at all.
