Crisis? What crisis? Boris Johnson dances away the country's heartache.

First dance with Carrie:

You're welcome and I'm sorry, @StoneofDestiny . I just didn't want you to feel left out. You're one of us now.

Please have some respect for Bungle, and indeed Zippy and George. Who brought happiness to millions of children, and amusement to some adults (especially when you see the rehearsal footage!).
Yes, I'm very sorry, @balalake and they would have done a better job running the country too!

He dances like he's shat himself.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Americano75 · 06/08/2022 13:28

And don't they teach these boys how to dance nicely at the likes of Eton?

Thank you! 🤣
I needed the laugh. Tears are running down my face now..

Oh well that's one ray of sunshine @WaitroseWoman

The big 'Sponsored by JCB' banner is just out of shot.

it's his wedding
No, it's a party. We all know how BJ loves a party. His wedding was over a year ago. Well, his latest wedding.

Carrie looks lovely.
I like Carrie’s dress…

Yes, lovely. I think it was made, in an admirable cost-cutting exercise, from a remnant of their gold wallpaper.

''DrDetriment · Today 08:03
I'm not a fan of Boris but this thread is quite distasteful. Laughing at a man who is simply dancing at his own wedding.''

I think we might have a different definition of distasteful.

Personally what I find distasteful includes:

  • man who cheats on his wife (while she is having treatment for cancer...) with much younger member of staff
  • woman who has affair with much older married colleague
  • man who constantly has affairs and cannot quite keep track of how many kids he has
  • man who gets wealthy donors to pay for wall paper, tree houses and wedding parties
  • man who makes a mess of being a PM and constantly lies to the public.

Well that is so cringey.
They have zero chemistry.
He dances like a buffoon [no change there]
If you didnt know it was their wedding you would swear Carrie is trying to get away from that weird,handsy drunk uncle we all seem to have.

Are we taking bets to how long it lasts?

I think that's spot on 🤣

Me too, @Whitehorsegirl .

It seems a lot of people have been thinking that, @Hopefullysoon2022 .

He looks a bear in a man suit. A reverse Bungle.

WaitroseWoman · 06/08/2022 17:51

I imagine Boris is pretty good company when he's not running the country. He can be very funny.
People who know him who have been interviewed say they like him.
He is the most terrible snob. I wouldn't want to be driven home from a party by him either. Of course certain people like him, or say they do, at least for a time.

Well...,, I don't know what to say....

Except to ask, is that boy who is singing into the camera one of his sons?

I don’t think his children have anything to do with him anymore, they certainly didn’t attend the wedding last year anyway. He did cheat on their Mother multiple times including when she was going through chemo so I’d struggle to have a relationship with my Dad after that too.

FayeGovan · 06/08/2022 18:03

My kids used to dance like that when they'd wet themselves

Last weekend when they got married again a the grace and favour country pad they shouldn't really be using seeing as he's resigned.

You need to check your sources and not believe everything you read in the papers!

How on earth did that manage to impregnate more than one woman!!

Motherofalittledragon · 06/08/2022 18:14

Sodding Neanderthal, can't dislike the man anymore than I already do.

Apparently Jenny Packham and can be hired from £30 a day, should you be so inclined…

StAgur · 06/08/2022 18:32

If you saw this without knowing the characters, you would think that Carrie was his niece or a friend of his daughter.

Murdoch1949 · 06/08/2022 18:47

Just a video that makes everyone think thank god I didn't sleep with him/marry him. There's not a single redeeming feature about this baboon. I understand power and desirability, but the man is a fool, a lying fool, without an iota of empathy for anyone. How must Mrs J feel when he bounces up and down on her? Vom.

Nothappyatwork · 06/08/2022 18:58

FinallyHere · 06/08/2022 08:55

can't imagine why any woman would want to talk or sleep with him, let alone marry him

If I had been thrown out of my job in Tory HQ for fiddling my taxi expense account, I can quite see the attraction of returning as the PM's wife.

Not sure Carrie would have been quite the household name she has become without the exposure she has had in No 10.

The question for me is rather why she is happy in that role rather than achieving something of her own.

Well quite simply because she’s the kind of thicko that would lose an £80,000 job over claiming an extra 25 quid in expenses.

To be fair to the poster, that was the plan - other than it was a party for their wedding last year, rather than an actual wedding - until there was an outcry about them using Chequers for it and so they changed their plans to use the country estate of a Tory donor, (Lord) Tony Bamford.
