To turn up looking like a tramp is showing clear disrespect to all the fallen.

It is funny or clever, it is a disgrace.

According to Johnson

" Mother nature does not like working from home..."

Just what is the man smoking, snorting or drinking?

He is obviously quite an authority on Peppa Pig!

What an absolute mess- and this is supposed to inspire confidence for British Business. And the world is watching too ...

The CBI twitter account made a whole series of tweets on a previous speaker's speech. Not much about Johnson's though. Too cowardly to upset the government by saying it was a load of incoherent nonsense but clearly not very impressed...?

I saw the CBI speech. It was excruciating to watch. How on earth will UK earn respect around the world. Is anything safe in his hands? Help.

Many of us have seen the photo of Angela Merkel and Macron laughing their heads off- with varied captions. And the latest one says 'and then he told us ... about Peppa Pig'

As someone said. Johnson had a pre-scripted speech made in front of a friendly audience.

How could he have made such a fool of himself?

Whitewavemark2 Mon 22-Nov-21 15:41:56

The opinion was that Starmer was head and shoulders above Johnson, but quite frankly it is such a low bar……

I hope this does not damage Peppa Pig's reputation.

Whitewavemark2 Mon 22-Nov-21 15:48:33

Opinion is that Johnson was drunk

Alegrias1 Mon 22-Nov-21 15:56:19

He wasn't lying though.

Kali2 Mon 22-Nov-21 16:17:13

Come on, I am sure some of our ardent Johnson supporters will soon be here to give us a perfectly logical and sane explanation.

He’s still recovering from covid and has a young baby to look after….

She must be old enough to be Prime Minister now, surely?

He does remind me of Daddy Pig a bit. The hair is wrong but there is a similarity, maybe the wasitline?

I had to turn it off. I find him hard to listen to at the best of times but even the bit I saw was painful to watch.

Kali2 Mon 22-Nov-21 19:24:05

Well, perhaps there is hope- no-one has come to say that it was a great performance by Johnson. Is the penny finally dropping?

varian Mon 22-Nov-21 19:24:30

If we lived in a democracy, where a government could only be elected with the support of the majority of electors, we could NEVER have endured the excruciating embarrassment of this Boris Johnson becoming the leader of our country.

Poor Daddy Pig - he's always in the mire, only the depth varies!

Mark my words, Boris Johnson will be gone by Christmas

Sean 0'Grady in the Independent.

no. not my words this time- but I did say it would happen quickly when it does.

Josianne Mon 22-Nov-21 20:01:39

I'm a bit of an expert on Peppa Pig due to DGC's constant fascination.
Off topic a bit, but did you know a new book was published last month about having vaccinations?

lemongrove Mon 22-Nov-21 20:01:41

Yes kali ? You have certainly been saying that for a long time.Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

It’s hardly ever ‘a great performance’ from Boris Johnson as far as speeches are concerned, so nothing new there.Mind you, David Cameron was excellent at it ( but not at being a great PM.)
It’s Johnson’s persona, being eccentric.?

Kali2 Mon 22-Nov-21 20:05:57

Yes, many people thought it was 'funny' - few, if any, still do. You probably are in the 2%.

Peppa is always on trend, Josianne.

Unfortunately, I can't justify watching her now, the DGC have grown out of her programmes.
