Brois Johnson - oh dear

[user2010]

If we are in spelling p-take mode, he's probably also "nobody's" fool! We nobodies do indeed think he can be a fool, though that may be a mask! He was much less the 'buffoon' when London Mayor, something I believe he did rather well!



Homophobia, Xenephobia, Racist and Anti-Semetic included?

Double fixed that for you both!

Sadly, this thread demonstrates how intolerant and rude posters become in order to maximise the impact of their groundless opinion.

I'd be willing to bet those posters being rude and insulting have never met or spoken to the guy.

Are we kidding ourselves that Golf is a polite sport of integrity?

Are people not allowed to form opinions based on media exposure and anecdotal evidence?? Are you basing your opinion of posters based on the above?? Have you met us?? Pot meet kettle??

Obviously, but you're allowed to say that as you know me.

Excuse me old boy but I do not think 'groundless' is the appropriate word here, perhaps you should reconsider.

I like Boris. Sharp as a tack and well up to the job. The rest of the world will look on him as a classic British eccentric and that will help make alliances abroad.

 

[IanM]

Well one thing is sure....he send plenty scurrying to their "safe places" clutching their copy of the Guardian!

Because it provides some insight as to how he is viewed abroad. Given that as Foreign Secretary he may be involved in Brexit issues it is interesting to know what the main player in those negotiations thinks, and may affect how he is or isn't used. Oh, and because it is somebody else's contribution, and without other's contributions there would be nothing to discuss and we'd have to read more of your condescending lectures instead.

Thanks Capella, some of us appreciated your input. :thup:

I rather hoped Capella would have replied but as you seem to be his proxy: It matters about as much as what the Daily Mail or Express 'et al' have on their front pages. Tomorrows chip paper. Where exactly did I suggest he has no right to an input, I asked why the opinion of the German Media matters to Johnson carrying out his duties, if that offends your sense of debate then it doesn't take much.

Regarding my "condescending lectures" as you put it, is that a way of suggesting someone who is prepared to debate a subject contrary to your personal view must have a patronising superior attitude which needs attacking ?

I may be wrong, but I believe Capella is a "she", and lives in Germany. I'd say her input is very relevant.

We hear this sort of thing a lot. Why is there no evidence of his much vaunted intelligence in his public persona? Is the bumbling gaffe-prone idiot we all know and love just an act?

No, it's an eccentric personality,often a trait of very intelligent people and something sadly missing in the country these days.

 

[bluewolf]

It's not missing. I see it most times I visit the Pub. What you're referring to is "eccentric and rich". A much different type of person.

Boris - will be the next PM (or the one after that).......

Male/Female/British/German makes no difference to the matter and again, who suggested their input was irrelevant?

They are drinks in the pub btw.......

Ok. Do we really want such an "eccentric" individual as our main international representative? Especially at this time when we are leaving what has been our main international community and are looking to forge new or different relationships?

Especially when his eccentricity has been known to manifest itself with racist remarks?

Personally, I think it's the wrong role for him whereas a more internal uk facing role would have been more appropriate.

Are you implying that eccentrics in the Pub are drunks?? Isn't Farage a regular visitor to Pubs? Are you calling him a drunk???

The racist remarks you mention, are they the ones referring to Obama and his ancestral dislike of the British Empire? I cant see how that is a racist remark. It's no more racist than suggesting Nicola Sturgeon has an ancestral dislike for the United Kingdom.

You did. You asked "why does it matter". If it doesn't matter, then it's irrelevant. You can split as many hairs as you like, but everyone knows what you are saying.
