Fascinating thread a while ago about people who worked in corridor of power. BJ apparently has hygiene issues I am not surprised

he is the hardest working man in the country... and you’re judging him on how he looks? You might have the spare time to make sure each hair is in its place, but when you’re running a country it’s not that simple.

How did his predecessors manage it then?

balalake · 27/06/2022 20:03

He is not hard working. Anyone who ever worked with him will verify this.

They weren’t dealing with a worldwide pandemic and multiple looming wars

🤣🤣🤣🤣

He had time to party during the worst health crisis in a century whilst he locked the rest of us up.

He has time to hide in fridges.

He certainly has time to comb his hair!

@Drunkandalone Carrie is that you? Hate to break it to you, those late nights- he's not actually working!

megletthesecond · 27/06/2022 21:16

Johnson doesnt have "energy". Except maybe the energy of a slug.
He's a lying manipulative lazy shit who thinks he's better than everyone else.

That man knows how to wear a pair of well tailored trousers (Macron, not our embarrassing buffoon).

ALongHardWinter · 27/06/2022 22:19

Because he wants to.

mmmmmmghturep · 27/06/2022 22:51

Has anyone else seen the pic of him sat with Biden and Macron He has a hole in the back of his jacket

Johnson cuts his own hair to add to the image and to ensure it remains’mopheaded’.
As for those defending him. I have Covid. Day six unable to get out of bed, CEV. That’s because instead of a smooth transition, he abandoned all precautions pretty much at once. Masks are still worn in Europe.
He is presiding over what threatens to be the largest financial fuck up in sixty odd years. I’m disabled, a wheelchair user and will not be able to afford heating next winter. Johnson is to blame. Not Ukraine, not Coronavirus, Johnson.

Because a lot of middle aged and older women in particular go along with the ' feeling sorry for him, 'look how hard he tries' and oh poor thing had covid, he nearly died ' - they believe this tosh! and it's easier to get away with actually being a manipulative arse with the concentration of a gnat if you look a bit 'mad and dishevelled'

NoRegretsNoTearsGoodbye · 27/06/2022 23:11

@Drunkandalone i can’t tell if you’re being serious 😂. Hardest working man in the country??? He’s renowned for being a lazy fucker! He’s not working hard 🙄. And the idea that someone who does work hard can’t also look presentable is mental 🙄.

L1ttledrummergirl · 27/06/2022 23:22

Because he's a giant knob.

notgreatthanks · 27/06/2022 02:39

Because his usp is bedraggled, muddled rogue. It allows him to get away with all sorts of shitty behaviour and play on the poor little boy who can't even brush his hair persona. When in reality he's a calculated, abhorrent human being who fully understands his actions but doesn't care.

Spot on. It's a carefully calculated persona.

Em. Where did that come from. I’m a middle aged woman and perfectly able to see what an amoral , narcissistic lying scumbag he is. As are all my friends. Your comment is ageist , insulting and ignorant. Opinions are not formed on the basis of age and gender

Eyesopenwideawake · 27/06/2022 23:31

Think this sums it up nicely.

Why does our PM always look such a mess??
Crikeyalmighty · 27/06/2022 23:34

@RunnerDown I am too ! Maybe because I'm on twitter tonight looking at loads of comments about Johnson and it's nearly always women of my own age saying they feel sorry for him or he tries very hard etc- totally boils my piss- definitely not meant to mean all women of that demographic - just that sadly most comments I see actually supporting him are from my own demographic!

Yorkshireteabags · 27/06/2022 23:35

Because he is a mess.

Comedy gold 😂

spanishsummers · 27/06/2022 23:39

The journalists say that he does it on purpose if they are interviewing him on camera, or if he is about to go on stage.

Otherwise, exactly as @notgreatthanks put it.

mmmmmmghturep · 27/06/2022 23:41

Im 49 so im middle aged and i hate the fucking cunt!

Rachelw84 · 27/06/2022 23:49

Fantail · 27/06/2022 07:08

There’s absolutely no way he’d get away with looking like that if he was a woman.

Therese Coffey runs him close, she’s like Boris Johnson’s long lost cousin

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 27/06/2022 23:51

He obviously twigged he was never going to be a smooth chiselled type so needed a USP. He works on the Bunterish image concealing his self acclaimed intellect to ambush people. It might have worked in his 20s and 30s but at his age, in his job and on the world stage? Embarrassing.
Also Thatcher managed to break out the Ellnet during the Falklands.
