This picture was on ALL newspapers in Europe but there was little evidence of it in the press here
AIBU that this shows dreadful manners?
What is it teaching our children?

Can’t open that link, Safari says it doesn’t exist.

As much as I loathe BJ, he and Macron were joking about the table. Macron said "you could put your feet on it" so he did.

Hardly hilarious but on this occasion he was not being rude.

Talk about old news that isn't news

UrsulaPandress · 04/09/2019 19:48

Do you not read the papers?

This photo was explained the day it was taken.

But don’t let the facts get in the way of your outrage.

PolaDeVeboise · 04/09/2019 19:48

It was all over the news the next day. It often mystifies me how some people can completely miss something like this.

TeamUnicorn · 04/09/2019 19:49

That is the least of our worries about what he is teaching our children.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, the picture was a still from VT where the audio showed that BJ complimented Macron on the furniture, Macron joked that it was low and could be mistaken for a footstool, and BJ laughed and fleetingly reclined and out his foot on it, demonstrating he enjoyed/understood/appreciated Macron's little joke.

It wasn't funny in the slightest. But then, I guess international diplomacy requires people to engage and attempt to build rapport in situations like those.

No picture of any politician will ever be as good as the absolute balls up that was Ed Milliband eating a ham sandwich Grin

What is wrong with Boris putting his foot on a table? I would not allow it in my house but Carrie doesn't mind him eating food on her cream settee (my other half has been banned from eating, sleeping or doing anything messy on my new cream sofa)

TheAlternativeTentacle · 04/09/2019 20:06

Of all the things that BJ has done, putting his feet on a table is literally the tiniest most insignificant thing to get pissed off about.

Absolutely this.

Yes! Hardly a hanging offence.

Possiblynotever · 04/09/2019 20:19

I read both the Times and the Guardian diligently. Possibly it was commented ..missed it, sorry.

So, your host does small talk about a table looking like a footstool and you try it ( in front of millions of cameras there for the event)?
Or you pretend to sleep in Parliament?

Yes, my DC do watch the news and do read the paper - and yes, I do think that what our representatives do in Parliament will be mirrored in society at large: is this acceptable behaviour?

Is it acceptable that during a meeting someone reclines over three chairs?
Would he not be asked to leave the room?

Doesn't Rees Mogg behaviour make contempt more acceptable now?

that was days ago...he's done a whole lot more since then . Conniving git has been ousted.

RoomR0613 · 04/09/2019 20:35

I'm really confused it was in the press here?

timshelthechoice · 04/09/2019 20:53

Dammit! I was hoping to see some cock sucking goodness.

cacklingmags · 04/09/2019 20:57

It may be an old pic but he is still a blustering wank stain.

sonjadog · 04/09/2019 20:58

The behaviour in the House of Commons has been the way it is for a very long time. The British people have not and do not behave the way MPs do in the HoC. I really don't think they have much/any influence on the manners of the British public.

Silvercatowner · 04/09/2019 20:58

BJ for blow job....mmmmh....had not thought about that!

Really???

zxcvhjkl · 04/09/2019 21:02

Not clicking on bjpicture.com Hmm

YABU. Picture doesn't show context and honestly this is the least of our "BJ" troubles right now.
