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'

How old are you?

Im 51 and can’t stand the fucker.

Beebeebaby · 28/06/2022 07:04

It’s all part of his act . He is a very clever, calculated sociopath who continues to lie & cheat to the people he represents while his sycophantic cabinet and voters cheer him on, many proclaiming that ( probably as he looks such a twat and therefore expectations are low ) he’s doing a good job in the circumstances !

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.

Neither can I but he's managed to hoodwink a lot of them. Have you seen the interview with Petronella Wyatt where she says how misunderstood he is and defends him to the hilt?

Justmuddlingalong · 28/06/2022 07:22

He looks dirty as well as scruffy. Like there would be an aroma of unwashed skin and the faint reek of piss following him.

Penguinsaregreat · 28/06/2022 07:26

Agree with everything that's been said.
There is no way in hell a woman or non white person would get away with it.
Plenty fall for it, look how many women he has shagged!

All of the above.

I do think he must be genuinely knackered a lot of the time. But more from avoiding the obligations he took on than fulfilling them. I would be certain he has at least one bit on the side by now, plus 2 exwives, current wife, multiple children from baby to adult, young dog, all the shady types who pay him large bungs for various reasons. and he's the fucking Prime Minister. God he's such a pathetic mess. And the country voted him in which makes him our mess. Boak.

This. He’s bitten off more than he can chew. Not that I feel sorry for him.

maddiemookins16mum · 28/06/2022 07:46

I know some very posh people who look just like him (the men that is). Funnily enough their kids are always scruffy too - odd clothes, unbrushed hair).

onlythreenow · 28/06/2022 08:13

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.

And yet somehow other world leaders manage to look presentable.

All that lying, making excuses, blustering, thinking of cover stories shagging must be absolutely exhausting while Dominic Cummings mark 2 and some anonymous civil servants think of new policies. Absolutely no spare 30 seconds to straighten a tie or brush ones hair.

Pedallleur · 28/06/2022 10:18

@Spabreak mentioned poshy Petronella Wyatt. this from Wiki (no surprise if true)
Between 2000 and 2004, Wyatt had an affair with the then editor of The Spectator and Conservative MP Boris Johnson.[10] Johnson had promised to leave his wife, and the affair had resulted in a terminated pregnancy and a miscarriage.[11] When her mother found out about the affair, she discussed it with the press.[5][10] Johnson was fired from his shadow cabinet post by party leader Michael Howard for lying about the affair, as he had initially categorically denied it.[10][12]

And he has never stopped lying. To us, his wives/mistresses, whoever.

timestheyarechanging · 28/06/2022 10:53

@notgreatthanks has nailed it.

Crikeyalmighty · 28/06/2022 12:28

@Redcrayons I'm 60 and loathe the twat, but I never cease to be amazed on my twitter and FB threads at the amount of women in their 50s upwards who are totally taken in by his 'disheveled , what a nice misunderstood guy I am ' persona - I'm not saying all women are like this, just that those sticking up for him tend to be women in particular over 50- a mix of Carrie type posh and entitled or the total opposite end of the income/status spectrum - I don't get it- can only conclude they are poor judges of character

Volodymyr Zelenskyy seems to manage.

Insert own 'on the job' remark here.

Everything that Johnson does is a calculated performance.
Jeremy Vine has a fascinating story about his behaviour.
www.google.com/amp/s/amp.spectator.co.uk/article/my-boris-johnson-story/amp

That’s absolutely fascinating.

beguilingeyes · 29/06/2022 09:31

It makes me crazy. I mean everything about the sociopathic piece of shit who's destroying the country for his own ego enrages me...but....he's the fucking Prime Minister FFS. He's our country's representative and looks like an unmade bed.
He's also a multi-millionaire who could have endless handmade suits.
I hate him so much.

spanishsummers · 29/06/2022 10:36

He's playing up to women this morning with his attempt at "toxic masculinity " accusations (of Putin).
Like he'd know.

itsgettingweird · 29/06/2022 10:38

I doubt his toxic masculinity will work when he has Dorries, Truss, Braverman and Patel as his headline acts.

They are hardly a prime example of the woman we want to push forward as leaders!

Crikeyalmighty · 29/06/2022 10:53

I'm sorry but I've yet to see any other PM who looks such a state , and speaks like a bumbling idiot at a debating society-all other prime ministers/presidents were also were dealing with pandemics and the Ukraine. I'm not David Cameron's biggest fan- but if he was in charge, I doubt he would look anything but well turned out. The guy admitted he can't cope with long documents into the night. Can you imagine the hoo ha if Gordon brown or Alistair Darling had said this at the height of the banking crash

TheClitterati · 29/06/2022 10:55

who co-ordinated the G7 male leaders to all not wear ties for this photo shoot?
