I'd rather have Boris than the smarmy slime balls that we have been subjected to for the last 15+ years. He may appear to not be able to think on his feet but underneath all that buffoonery is something completely different IMO.
Perhaps if MP's payed more attention to their electorate and less to their media advisors and spin doctors Britain wouldn't be the shitehole it is today.
Boris Johnson may not be perfect but then what politician is?
This was a disgustingly, typical bias, left-wing BBC interview, in which instead of asking relative questions attached to Boris's position as Mayor of London, it was turned into a personal attack of his past personal life, and included personal insults such as calling him a 'nasty piece of work'.
This type of interview was more in keeping to a conducted parliamentary inquiry or even reminiscent of America's McCarthy witch hunt.
those who call him a buffoon obviously don't know his background, history, nor i suspect would they be bothered to read about him, or listen to what he does say. He may not be PM material, he is often far too unguarded, tends to blurt out what he thinks as opposed to what, like Cameron, he is told to say. I like him and did from early on, perhaps one day he will take the top job, meanwhile better him in the Mayor of London role than red Ken
/// Oh yes, I liked his performance for England against Germany too (even though the fool did not know Geoff Hurst scored an hat-trick in the 66
final) ///
Oh yes, and we all know how important that is, don't we?
Excuse me please jake, off topic for just a sec, Smowball despite our last communique I do hope all is well with you, your son and your hubby now x
Back on topic....... I totally agree with AOG (for what is probably the first time ;-) ). I am no fan of the tories but the BBC have once again shown that they are not in the least unbiased. Eddie Mair definitely had an agenda re Boris and was going to work what he (and the BBC) wanted to say into the interview right reason or none. Not pleasant or professional on the part of the corporation nor of the interviewer, shame on them both.
For Funks Sake mick just how is regurgitating that, long past it's sell by date, old chestnut about 1966 showing your patriotism?
All it shows is that you, like the majority of Englishmen, (not all) think that one 40 odd year old football trophy is the be all and end all of England's achievements.
NEWSFLASH.....They won a GAME! They didn't cure cancer, poverty, famine, disease, deprivation, inequality, persecution, injustice. They won a bloody football match, get over it.
He is human, PM material? just much as anybody, we all say and do stupid things. I would say he would be as good a PM as anybody. I thought the only qualification was to be a corrupt lying little barsteward.
be patriotic and English these days doesn't sit well with some... as to the football, isn't it about time England won something, 1966 and all that should be consigned to the history books.
