I have a feeling that if Boris does get the top job , hed surprise a lot of people.
Call him a buffoon etc but hes well educated, intelligent etc, but as is the norm the politics of envy clouds their thinking..

Hes no mug thats for sure..

[Baldric]

'The Messenger' appears to be just another bad loser imo.

[Arksided]

I like Boris always gives me a smile he'd definitely get my vote.

I don't mind Jamie either in small doses.

Of valium

TTT...do you think that the use of phrases like :::

whining brat and jumped-up little cook

Raises the level of debate here on AB ?

[Baldric]

No more than your constant use of the word 'Troll'

[ToraToraTora]

I think frankness can often help mikey. Would you rather I composed some sort of plum in the mouth equivalent..... "The young man appears to be expressing personal feelings that are at odds with the view of many including myself" - I think I prefer my original 2 words, mikey.

Mikey
Some people here are not programmed to say what they think other people might like to hear!! Quite a few of us do not care for virtue signals.

[mikey4444]

TTT...well it did have a certain amusement value I suppose.

But its this attitude here on AB, that someone like Jamie Oliver can't express an opinion and yet you and do, every day, along with everybody else.

Its a little hypocritical don't you think ?

[sandyRoe]

Indeed, he's no mug. But he may go down in history as the man who put his ambition above the best interests of his country.

Nobody is saying he can't express his opinion Mikey. But we can also express an opinion, on his opinion!

[Togo]

//Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has declared his faith in the British people will be “broken forever” if Boris Johnson becomes prime minister.

Writing on Instagram alongside a video of a waving European Union flag, he used the hashtag: “B****rOffBoris” and encouraged people to share his concerns.

In a message of sadness about the referendum result but hope about the future, in which he promised to “work harder than ever to make this work”, he added: “But I Beg you one thing Great Britain? Give me Boris ***g Johnson as our prime minister and I’m done. I’m out.

“So speak up people – let’s stop being spectators! We cannot let this happen- share the *** out of this!! #B****rOffBoris//

Mikey finds this acceptable, a very public fit of pique, and done to catch the attention of the like minded childish temper tantrum inclined . But 3T making a small gesture of dismay, at the cook's temerity, on AB is not.

I'd just like to remind Mikey of what he said on another thread about Nigel Farage a bit earlier today. It appears he's forgotten.

//The day he gets to be an MP, voted in by a constituency, will be the day he has some kind of legitimacy. Up until then he just a noise off-stage. //

[mikey4444]

Togo....I never said I agreed with Oliver, or that I think what he said was acceptable. I certainly don't support his use of foul language on a public webpage like BT's.

The point I am making here is that he every right to express an opinion, in exactly the same way that you and I do. Because he is a celeb doesn't obviate that right, but we don't have to listen to him do we, just as I don't always pay much attention to our more rabid AB posters.

[naomi24]

Mikey, //he every right to express an opinion, in exactly the same way that you and I do.//

But he doesn't express his opinion in the same way most other people do. I'd hazard a guess that mainstream media doesn't publish your opinion.

[New Judge]

“…but celebs seem to think they can lord their "wisdom" over the masses with impunity, that's what gets peoples backs up.”

Exactly. And I think the support the Luvvies and Celebs gave the Remain campaign probably accounted for many of the 1.3m majority that “Leave” secured.

I’ve never liked Jamie Oliver very much. Always seemed to be a jumped up cook who might do reasonably well as a supervisor in a factory canteen (provided he was not allowed too near the stoves and ovens). His political opinions are even less important to me than his cooking.

In the turbulent times that are to come we need a leader who will put the needs and wishes of the people of the UK first and foremost. There are precious few of them around because they’ve all spent their entire careers being told that the European Project transcends national interests. And unfortunately almost all of them believe it.

[ToraToraTora]

I reckon Saint Bob secured us a lot of Votes.

[mikey4444]

NJ...don't worry....Boris will be measuring up for those nice new Number Ten curtains soon !....Not sure if Boris what who you had in mind to

"put the needs and wishes of the people of the UK first and foremost"

Out of interest...who would you like to see as the new Tory PM ?

[whiskeryron]

I don't remember asking for Jamie Oliver's opinion on leaving the EUSSR. Another jumped up supposed personality.
