XTR2Turbo Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 He has many qualities and is appealing on tv in small quantities but I can't really see him as PM material. But then I could have said the same about most of the last pms and party leaders we have had. Who were the last real leaders with strong ideals and principles rather than spin and PR - I guess you need to go back to 70's and 80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'm a big fan of Boris but for PM? Don't think he's 2 faced or devious enough as far as the fashion thing goes his haircut is fine by me , cant say the same for all the jedwood looky likes around today and as for women wearing Max Wall trousers !

Rab (bombero) Reid Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Boris lover and kitcar owner .. hmm, he'd have our cars crushed and never to be built again if he was PM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 He works on the shock principle. He's not PM material as he'd be decimated at PMQ because he would be constantly saying the wrong things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikef Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Pedant mode on.......... Decimated = reduced by one tenth. What does that do to Boris? Pedant mode off. I would prefer to say he would be demolished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenh Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Don't be fooled by his "buffoonery", he is a very clever guy, it frequently protects him from potentially awkward questions in interviews. When did you last see/hear a political interviewer gwet the better of him? I can't remember it. You don't get to be the editor of Spectator magazine without having something between your ears!

Norman Verona Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Decimated: Verb Kill, destroy, or remove a large percentage of. Drastically reduce the strength or effectiveness of (something): "plant viruses that can decimate yields". The reason he acts as a bufoon is to muddle through. He would not get away with this as PM. I think the chap comes across well, but can you take him seriously, intelligent or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbaldbloke Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Check out the youtube clip of Boris on Newsnight. How many politicians can get Paxman to shut up and hand the show over to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham0127 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Check out the youtube clip of Boris on Newsnight. How many politicians can get Paxman to shut up and hand the show over to them. That`s convinced me I`m not loosing the plot. Thanks guys I`ll sleep safe in my bed tonight knowing this guy is being taken seriously and as such could be a serious contender. Give him a haircut and a spray tan and away you go Boris. Bet he`s bilingual as well? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Of course he is. He speaks bo*loxs and cobllers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
