Johnson’s lack of respect

MayBee70

I think brexit is Johnson’s war. Setting people against each other, inciting hatred of ‘furriners’. He’s still constantly trying to aggravate tensions between the U K and France.

Well, Macron can share some of the blame for this.

Pompous little man.

He is an utter disgrace in the way he behaves all the time, aside from his dress/hair. Not surprised to here someone from the media say she was in a lift with him, and before the doors were about to open for him to get out he ruffled his hair. Such childish behaviour for someone his age holding the role of PM, but not a surprise.

Lucca,i am pretty sure N Kinnock was blasted by the press at some point about his attire, and the falling into the sea and coming up a mess,i know M Foot looked a right state at the cenotaph.
And if i am mistaken i hold my hands up, i`m gatting used to being bashed.

Getting bashed even.

Michael foot wore a Jaeger coat at the cenotaph.
Kinnock got teased for falling in the sea! Not for turning up to a state occasion badly dressed.

Why is his height relevant ? “Little” man is so derogatory.
Sorry but it’s a bugbear of mine.

You’re definitely wrong on this one I’m afraid timetogo2016. Even when he fell down in the sea he was wearing a smart suit.

Micheal Foot was a disgrace at the Cenotaph in his Donkey jacket, Jeremy Corbin not much better.
As someone has posted the military are more worried about being sent to war than the way Johnston dresses.
I also say thank goodness for Harold Wilson always smartly dressed even in a Ganex and he did the country a great favour by keeping us out of the Vietnam war.

It WASNT a donkey jacket

you can say that until you're blue in the face, Lucca but the 'donkey jacket' myth has taken too much of a hold among those more than willing to believe it..

Annieb, who knew the Foots personally, has refuted this more times than I can remember on Gnet, even on this thread, but what does the truth matter?

Thanks Maizie.

Big difference. “Nasty little man”. Pompous little man”. Etc are commenting on their physical appearance about which, in this case, they can do nothing. Scruffy you can definitely do something about.

Choking on my Casdon
?

Ps it has happened to me too, well, not falling down but a big wave came right over me when I was fully clothed and washing my hands on the edge. I wasn't in a smart suit as I don't have one now, more in the kind of clothes one wouldn't wear to the Cenotaph. (Think anorak)

... I heard that Johnson combs his hair with a toffee apple... ...

Dickens

... I heard that Johnson combs his hair with a toffee apple... ...

???

It's probably true, Dickens

I really don’t know why anyone cares what Michael Foot wore to the Cenotaph God knows how many years ago. It’s cold in November, he wore a warm coat. He’s dead now, and it’s immaterial.
As for scruffy man or little man, they’re both insults.
Incidentally I had look at some photos, kindly provided by Mr Google, and I don’t think Michael Foot looked at all scruffy, which was the accusation at the time.

Oh Dickens that's funny. I thought he rubbed it with a balloon.

On the 'little man' front - in photos Macron looks a very similar height to Johnson - he's 5 foot 9 I think...that's not little is it?

As for the descriptor pompous, in my opinion that definitely applies to a certain French man. If the cap fits and all that. Others may of course, disagree.

? I believe that

Dickens, don’t believe all you hear

Not bothered about the pompous bit !

I’ve been there too Calistemon, but also not in a smart suit - I’d have been very cross if I was!

Interesting fact, I just looked it up. Macron and Johnson are both exactly the same height, 1.75m. I’m saying nothing about that.

... well, you're right, I shouldn't!

Because I know he uses a knife and fork to comb it...

In truth, I think what really happens is that he washes it in the shower each day and possibly dries it with a hair dryer, letting it blow in all directions... then constantly ruffles it - maybe because it's a nervous 'tic', or for effect. Or both.

because it's a nervous 'tic'
I've often thought exactly this about the hair ruffling Dickens. He did it at The Royal Albert Hall for no reason, when no one was in the slightest bit watching and also on the beach in Cornwall.
