Boris Johnson praises Peppa Pig in bizarre CBI speech

Boris Johnson was briefly lost for words when he appeared to lose his place during a speech to the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) conference in South Shields on Monday. The prime minister, using a paper script and not a teleprompter, was forced to shuffle through his notes for 20 seconds in front of business leaders, before going on to talk about visit to a Peppa Pig theme park that he described as 'my kind of place'

When your friends bail out on a class presentation and you have to do it yourself 😂

This speech is going down there in history with 'Blood Toil Tears and Sweat' as the finest speech ever made by a British Prime Minister

We must give him some credit. He is the only politician I've ever heard apologise and three times at that.

This is a lot like the speech I gave in lower-secondary school about turning the school into an old people's home. They gave me the topic one minute before I was to give the three-minute speech.

He has always lost the plot but this has never been so obvious as in this clip

[Shamraz]

Doing well for his part time job as a comedian…🤣

[johnmc]

It's like he's doing a school project at Eton.

This government is an international embarrassment

I actually died laughing throughout this
Man what a time to not be in the UK 💀

Don't panic, BoJo is just fine tuning his act for his next job as stand-up comedian. Still needs a lot of perfecting though 😒

No wonder people voted for him, he knows his stuff about pepper

Britain has produced come classic comedies over the years. Mr Bean, Dad's Army, Some mothers do ave em, Keeping Up Appearances, Fawlty Towers etc etc. But the thing is, this is real life. This is the PM of Britain. So instead of being funny, its just worrying.

What a powerful glimpse at the great mind behind the man.

[Dondideeda]

Sadly this does not really encourage people to become politicians. I hope at least people see the value of admitting their mistakes.

[Stoatfacelanust]

I just assumed with the amount of ramblings normally, he just winged every speech. Now we get to see the true What a fool.

[Artemyst]

Can't believe people have been voting for this party for over a decade XD

[McMeevin]

What gets me is the heavy breathing, frustrated mumbling and "forgive me"

[bw]

the country is f*cked beyond all recognition & the best this guy can do is make comparisons to a fictional children’s TV character! Thanks to all the Conservative voters out there 👏🏻👌🏻

[jenko]

Labour wishes they were this charismatic

[nicolenox]

Wow. I didnt think he could get more embarrassing. Well I stand corrected.
