Boris at the Covid enquiry

Now let me state from the start I am no fan of the man.

Quite shocked by how unwell he looked though. Far more dishevelled. Jowly, pale. Has aged about 25 years since he stopped being PM.

So predictable that Carrie had to have exactly the same number if children as his first wife. I've seen that play out before in exactly the same way. Exhausted 60 something with several small children. Serves them right (and no I don't think Boris does any childcare)

He was very ill wasn't he, during the early days of covid, in ICU? He's bound to have been left in poorer health due to that. Probably a combination of long term complications from covid/icu and his lifestyle catching up with him. Can't say I have any sympathy for him!

Prison!!! He and his team certainly made mistakes - but I am glad it was him and not this current shower of s**t that call themselves the government looking out for us at that time.
I am sure if he had not been betrayed by his party ‘grandees’ we would not be in the mess we are in now.

exactly imagine if KS had been in or labour with any leader! No thanks next joke.

He’s a disgusting, lying, cheating inflated ball-bag of a man and that’s exactly what he looks like.

guinnessguzzler · 21/10/2025 17:38

The man's a lying bag of lies. If he is miserable with his current life it is only what he deserves.

It's odd- he's been on the pen and pics of him on his wife's instagram looked good- he's lost a lot of weight and looked much healthier. Now it looks like he has put it on again very quickly.

Filters?

YANBU @TheGoddessAthena, I was 🫣 at his appearance today. Rough, blotchy, peeling and flabby.

Perhaps a portrait of him has been destroyed in a fire recently.🤔

TheGoddessAthena · 21/10/2025 17:33

Is he currently working?

Hasn't he screwed enough money out of everyone so that they would have a couple of nannies.
The man is a complete shit.

Making out he cares for other people's children in that schools should have been kept open. What about their teachers health.

And allowing young people more freedom during lockdown - that would have left feral little shits roaming around causing havoc

He's looked like a bag of shit for years and that's how he looks today. One thing I cannot stand is him saying 'kids' all the time - sounds so flippant and disrespectful.

I agree i think he should have said children,but he probably thinks he is being relatable.

shellyleppard · 21/10/2025 16:53

@GarlicPound he's definitely losing his hair though....

TeaRoseTallulah · 21/10/2025 14:09

He's just put on lots of weight, looks really bloated.

Do posters seriously think he has much to do with any of his kids? I doubt he sees them in the week, possibly at the weekends.

Nadine Dorries has entered the chat!

It's mainly because of him we are in such a mess - the man who 'got Brexit done', which is a huge act of self-sabotage for our nation, allowed/encouraged/facilitated his MP's all getting themselves and their mates to fleece the country with PPE that left medical staff exposed, lied to the Queen, ignored allegations of sexual abuse against his colleagues, ditched his service detail to party with the Russians....

What was needed at the time of the pandemic was a details-orientated, serious Government, and instead we got the shower of shit that were so awful it led to the eventual, probably defeat of the Tories forever (which might have been cause for celebration in the past, except now it helps to usher in an even worse group of racists and fat-cats in Reform)

Probably because he’s a 60-something year old man who’s living in a house where they’ve had four kids in less than five years. He’s not really the right age for his sleep being permanently interrupted and the general demands of four small kids (even if they do have hired help, which I’m sure that they do).

Plus- if rumours are to be believed- he’s got a bit of a drink and gak problem, which will make one look a bit blotchy and tired.

Coffeeishot · 21/10/2025 13:47

Oh😀 yes she has.

It is on the news now and it does look like he is trying to cover up some baldness.

That's the problem when people make their hair into their personality.

TofuEater · 21/10/2025 13:51

Coffeeishot · 21/10/2025 13:34

They have 4 children ? I didn't know that. I can't imagine him being hands on to be fair but 4 children in your 60s will put 25 years on him ! Saying that he always looks rough and dishevelled his wife probably hasn't the time to get him dressed to go out.

He has at least 9 children. Four by Marina Wheeler plus another just before he got together with Carrie. That's the ones he admits to

GarlicPound · 21/10/2025 13:50

Looked at the stills, hoping to find he looks like he's got Covid 😂 Nah, sadly, he looks his usual self with an extra chin. Still doing his supposedly cheeky little boy smirk all over the place.

He's very devoted to begetting, isn't he. Mini Borises running around everywhere.

shellyleppard · 21/10/2025 13:48

@Coffeeishot aren't they all 😂😂😂

Coffeeishot · 21/10/2025 13:47

@Coffeeishot she already has four children to look after 😂

Can he actually say anything without smirking? Even just looking at him makes me furious.

Prison is too good for him.

He is a pompous oaf !

AKnitter · 21/10/2025 13:38

I think he dishevels his hair on purpose, to disguise his male pattern baldness. Same idea as Trump but done in a completely different way.

edit: autocorrect gave me dishevels as the correct spelling. I think that’s probably correct in the US, but dishevells looks wrong.
