Boris Has Mic Cut

[Spicerack]

and all hell breaks loose as press are ejected from talks with Biden.

[anneasquith]

No he did not ttt. What an inane post .

[ToraToraTora]

trying to rabbit through those masks doesn't help APG.

[AuntPG]

He does not need a mask to sound like .Tim nice but Dim' after few shandies.

[naomi24]

He's not dim by any means - and if that's the best his critics can do it's pretty pathetic.

With the mask on I couldn't catch what he was saying either - which is why I found another link.

[Ellipsis]

He was talking about the Northern Ireland Agreement. Since Biden has been quite vocal about that, perhaps it was off limits.

maybe staff just heard that Boris was at risk

A near miss, they were going for the jugular.

[Spicerack]

I vaguely remember Biden supporting the IRA. Maybe they were afraid of what he might say. Not that he looked as if he was going to say anything.
It's pretty clear these people don't see themselves as aides, more minders to control Biden. He keeps saying things like 'they won't let me answer any questions'.
Who are 'they'? He's supposed to be the most powerful man in the world.

Scary!

In fairness to Sleepy Joe, I tend to be close to nodding off when Boris starts yapping too.

[youngmafbog]

As APG alluded to earlier Biden is clearly not in the best of health mentally. Personally I think it is a disgrace those around him allow him to continue and indeed allowed him to go for the job. He should be allowed to wind down and spend whats left of his life in peace with a beer or whatever he likes.

Still, anything's better than mean tweets eh?

[naomi24]

That was obvious before he took office, YMB.

Reagan used to fall asleep during cabinet meetings, and once while meeting the pope. I don't recall many Republicans demanding that he should step down, so I won't ... lose much sleep ... when they say it about Biden.

[douglas9401]

Was the shrill babbling a result of the ejection or the cause?

[gulliver1]

Did Boris get the Trade deal that the UK is desperate for, before Joe started dozing ??.

[AuntPG]

Naomi, I did not suggest Boris was 'dim' or unintelligent , but likened him to the comedy character 'Tim nice but dim', in the way he conducted himself and spoke. Boris is a terrible rhetorician, even with a written speech he feels the need to 'ummm,ummm,ummm his way through it. Ask him a direct question and its even worse. He needs some coaching like Margaret Thatcher did, on how to speak in public.

[naomi24]

Doubtless he’ll find your advice invaluable.

[Stickybottle]

Given the clamour in the voices it sounded very much to me like some sort of security alert had been triggered and the Secret Service spooks wanted everyone out post haste

[Spicerack]

Maybe as simple as that^.

[ichkeria]

That does seem more plausible than them trying to stop Biden talking about Ireland :-)

You shouldn’t underestimate the President. He might have a shambling manner at times but who’s to say it isn’t partly an act …
I don’t miss the stream of consciousness garbage from his predecessor.

They need to lose those masks tho: ridiculous IMO
