It was just about his baby mothers, maybe you had already mentioned them in another post to be offended?

But yes, not a great advertisement for 'Whiteness', I will concede although I do believe he is part Turk. Which explains a lot. However, whatever you might think of him, and in my case it's not too fondly, he does have that special gravy. Was in the company of some foreign types the other night and the news was showing Johnson making a complete mess of something as simple as opening an umbrella. All I could think was 'what a moron', yet the company I was in all started laughing and joking about him in an affectionate way that absolutely stunned me. Real people, as opposed to sad political geeks like us, do actually like him for reasons I cannot fathom. By all conventional metiers of the political zeitgeist we exist in then Johnson should struggle to even make it to local council seat, let alone PM with an 80 seat majority. But he does. And there is no other explanation for his success other than the fact he has a certain charisma, that escapes the likes of us, which appeals. That horribly simple.

Thanks for that Matov - the mere thought of Boris’ special gravy will haunt me.

He might have rehearsed that umbrella gaffe.

Especially sitting next to Ms Patel. She is one of the people he must know want his crown and whilst the deliberate bumbling stuff is often staged, I suspect that particular setting was not one for it.

The only reason that Boris is there, is the same reason that khan is mayor of London and that is that the opposition is absolutely useless and that has been the case for some time. He's a comedian, that's why your friends laugh, in the same vein as Ernie Wise or Stan Laurel, ie the stoodge. If I had wanted a comedian as leader, I would have voted for Dave Allen The standard of political figures in this country is the worst it has ever been. It is literally a matter of choosing the one who is the least sh!te or not voting at all. Labour have had more open goals than Copers Cope at midnight but still can't make a mark. Laughable if it wasn't so sad and the reason it's like that, is they all benefit from being that way, which ever side of the line they are on.

He seems to create an almost kind of magnetism that attracts people. A kind of political 'Ready-Brek' glow. I don't get it myself. I voted for him in December 2019 to get Brexit over the finish line but would happily wave him goodbye tomorrow but it's not going to happen.

Johnson is a reflection of the voters themselves. He must wonder how he got to No.10 himself, but regardless of a deficient voting system, it is still 80 seats. Focus on their basest instincts, tread all over them, lie from the cradle to the grave, they love it.
