To quote Frankie Boyle:

"He's not just the worst person to lead the country. He might be the worst mammal"

[jmplans]

Is it me or Boris Johnson's responses are the equivalent of hearing "blah blah blah blah" ?

[sarahpengelly]

What's worse than Boris Johnson? The British people who actually voted for this man.

[bramberboy]

Boris not answering anything whilst endangering the life of a 95 year old. David Attenborough must’ve been pleased.

[daviddunne]

You could not believe the LORD'S PRAYER out of this mans mouth . He is a compulsive liar . Ask his previous employers. My GOD what a clown . He should have stayed home making busses out of wine boxes . He looks like he guzzled a lot wine .

[smellslikethinice]

Who dresses Johnson.
Look at his tie.like a school in boys.
He is literally embarrassing to look at and listen to.

[bustedfender]

Shameful. What an arrogant, complacent, entitled Toff.

[jamessnazell]

BORIS SAYS - I don't have the legal powers - to intervene to stop the opening of a coal field in Cumbria. Funny that Boris seems to have the power initially to intervene to change the Parliamentary legal system when it came to the suspension of his mate Tory MP Owen Paterson when Paterson was found to have broken parliamentary rules by using his position as an MP to lobby other ministers and officials to help benefit two companies. who together have paid him altogether somewhere in the region of half a million pounds.

It is an insult for GB to hold the conference. Not even one year ago of leaving the EU and the sewage is floating FREE in British rivers and the sea. Just wait a view more month

[DrSamwpepper]

The tradition of Boris looking hungover in every interview continues.

[sarahpengelly]

I can remember years ago being extremely concerned about reports on the climate. At that same time Boris Johnson was an elected member & he continually voted against bringing in mitigation policies. One of those in government who dragged their heels...

[zainzoala]

Boris Johnson as usual hardly answers anything and will always take your interview discussion somewhere else. Lol

[merlinliedtke]

What a guy ... he is so scared of the interview that he rants on about Doggerland ! Get him out

[gillb]

'We are a legally scrupulous...country'. Really? The guy is beyond belief!
'Ammapour: 'We are running out of time'
Boris: 'Thank God, I'll spend the rest of the time giving a full history of Doggerland and it's people. These questions are too hard'

[MrBecksy]

On the plus side, Johnson is looking tired and is ageing fast.

[TheGatesOfFire]

he's been breaking the law repeatedly and changes it to suit himself

[rosemaryprobert]

As usual "Boris" Johnson never uses one word when a thirty-word word salad will do. The plan is just to talk and talk knowing full well that the interview time is running out and it means he won't have to answer the question before the plug is pulled. Reference in this case how he talked about rice pudding and his Dogger Bank lecture. He only needed to say the Dogger Bank is a shallow area of the sea between Britain and Continental Europe .
He prattles on in the hope the interviewer won't pick him up on his lies, such as the government having any say in what local authorities can and can't do, and will have forgotten what the question was by the time they get a chance to speak again.
Political interviews should be recorded for as long as it takes to get the questions answered and all the waffle edited out before they are broadcast. Interviews with politicians who are allowed to prattle on are a waste of everybody's time.

[davidburrows]

Boris causes a new high in greenhouse gasses Everytime he opens his gob

[oldmanriverpip]

For heaven's sake journalists don't let him ramble on and not answer any questions just rhetoric of how wonderful the UK is at every thing. Then jokes about rice pudding's.

[laxeystu]

His trick is that he sounds convincing and reasonable in a way, and yet you *know* he is untrustworthy, and you can't rely on one word that comes out of him
