Thanks for the Twitter link...I've now discovered the artist and satirist Cold War Steve.
Poor Johnson looks about as awkward as it's humanly possible to be. Still a 14 year old...

For some of them it's very much theatrical acting, Boris doesn't do any of that stuff. You may not like it, but what you see is what you get.

People close to him say he is in fact quite a shy person.

Though I may sound it, I'm not actually his #1 fan, but I find your conclusions & those of your twitterati cohort, based on a few second of snatched video, astonishingly presumptive.

Not presumptive ~ Just puerile. Nothing better to occupy the space where their brains ought to be.

Those wet trousers always flapping around your legs must get uncomfortable Gulliver. Please go and see a doctor about your pmsl problem.

Khandro

These aren't actors. They're politicians.

^really? does that include the ever increasing amount of spam posts?

I'll be honest - I've not noticed spam posts. Normally you can tell spam because the poster will have an odd profile (you can click on their name). If a post looks suspicious (eg. linking to an advert), just report it to Ed. He/she will sort it.

Picturing Boris at a Disco. ...Micheal Gove would probably have been there with him.
Gove is a very good disco dancer... S.P.M.S L.

[ladybirder]

What a nasty spiteful post at 11.10.

[perseverer]

No doubt starting this thread was a mistake. I am not a fan of our current PM and I think his general demeanour will have a negative impact on those who have to interact with him. However the thread, like many on AB, has degenerated into a slagging match, which was not what I intended, (although I did briefly join in on this occasion.)

I'm in agreement with Khandro. I actually like Boris's regardless of politics. He's someone in would like to meet. Now I will be labelled as radicalised by a certain insignificant ABer.

[pat2604]

Excuse my errors! My fingers don't work very well these days.

[naomi24]

Boris, like the rest who were hanging around aimlessly, was probably thinking he has better things to do with his time - and he has.
