Dafaq? Surely I can’t be the only one wondering what Boris Johnson is on about now?

When I heard the clip I couldn't help but scream out "do you not employ a speech writer you cock!"
The G7 summit is not the time to wing it and make up your burbling nonsense on the hoof.
Dick!

@ImaginaryCat I just said the same to DH could he not have thought about it had someone else think about it? It’s like he sat down thought “fuck it I’ve got to say something, quick spit out a load of buzz words” you can’t wing it at something that big!

@ilovebagpuss it was so embarrassing. Fuck knows how the UK still qualifies to sit around the table with the big kids, but somehow we do. So can we please act like it, and tell our bloody Prime Minister this is not the Oxford Uni improv night. Every single sentence out of his mouth should be scripted, rehearsed and run past a test audience before he opens his stupid mouth in front of a microphone or a camera.

It means that he expects to be reincarnated as an olive.

One thing we could be sure of that it would not be possible to turn that olive into the extra virgin oil.

When Cockwombles like that want to involve women more it usually involves giving us more work without more power.
We aren’t bailing you out Johnson you knob

He actually looked like he knew it was bollocks even as he was saying it, I was cringing! Then I rewound and watched it again because I couldn’t quite believe he had said it! I’m sure the other leaders were cringing too.

@BitchyHen

So does a more feminine recovery mean getting up and getting on with it as opposed to a masculine recovery which involves lying on the sofa in a dressing gown feeling sorry for yourself?
Hahahaha

I'm surprised he doesn't have an oven ready gender neutral strong and stable recovery plan ready.

I’m sure he does know it’s bollocks. He thinks it’s funny to do this and get away with it. Remember his UN speech about limbless chickens and fridges beeping for more cheese?
