Boris is the ideal Times Radio man. For truthfulness and intelligence and honesty, those 3 talents that Boris is totally devoid off, makes Boris the Ideal Times Radio man.
On the polls point, they've been saying people would vote to remain since September 2016, not just recently. But we never had a second straight vote, so it's been twisted one way or the next over the years to ignore the new popular position and deny the brexit betrayal. People knew they were lied to in 2016, before it came into being... They rejected the tories in 2017, 60% of the electorate rejected the tories in 2019. Leave parties lost in the EU elections and most recently the tories have been wiped out at this year's election. Also on the vaccine, within a couple of months the EU had outdone the UK on the number of vaccines administered, so Johnson is being very selective with his stats
I'm 5 minutes in to the interview, and not sure if I am going to watch the whole thing. I don't see it mentioned in the comments, but was it discussed his plans to invade the Netherlands, that's next level bonkers stuff, that I haven't heard talked about enough.
Can someone explain to him that we had both EU access and Sterling before Brexit, so it only highlights the stupidity of leaving when keeping Sterling is his best argument for not re-joining.
I felt sorry for Stig having to be in the same room as this toad of a man. I have been equally as unfortunate and all he wants is to be the centre of attention and have an audience. He doesn't want to hear your point of view and believe me he won't. Actually, toad isn't a bad description - if he was a fictional character he would be Toad of Toad Hall.
@@maxhaughton1964 Then why doesn’t Boris go and gets interviewed by James O’Brien? I tell you. Because James O’Brien would shred Boris and his infinite procession of lies to pieces.

It's disappointing to me that he allowed the convict to swerve the argument about the vote in a referendum timed now into a discussion about rejoining. I wish he'd stuck with the original point about the vote to not leave rather than to rejoin.
This could have been a much better experience for Times viewers/listeners if the interviewer had not interrupted Johnson so much to assert his own opinions and judgements. The skills of the older generations of interviewers seem to be lost. But allowing an interviewee to talk and relax can often lead to much more revealing insights, especially when a skilled questioner then teases out even more.
I think you'll find that's wrong, the remoaners demonstrated what they thought, the electorate demonstrated democracy which is why we left the EU gravy train ,how hard can it be ?
Is Boris trying to be thick on purpose? It's like uncanny valley watching someone who is genuinely thick but is so much of a narcissist that he thinks he is actually hyper intelligent trying to act thick?! It's hilarious to watch and listen to. It's like watching a child try to lie and gaslight you into believing that they didn't eat all of your chocolate while having chocolate smudged around their mouths.
If he had a normal background he would be the type of bloke who stands at the bar and is entertaining for about 5 minutes then you take the long way round to the toilet to avoid for the rest of the evening

Decades of polling show that the Brexit vote result was about average in its results. There has always been a few point split between leave and remain. Often in favor of remain. And just as often in favor of leave.

Why the f*** are you inviting any hosts when you become so defensive? Take A different approach dudeYour anger is glaring. Chill, dude. Be more professional. "Your regime?" you tell Johnson, your choice of words says it all. Perhaps you need to look for a different job if you can't handle this professionally. 😮
I thought he was quite funny and rather impressive. For all the venom that TR must have for arch Brexiteer Bojo poor Stiggy couldn’t lay a glove on him. Whether you like Bojo or not, think he was a good PM or not, he’s clearly world class.
Here is a poll question Times Radio should discuss and then conduct. 1: Should the UK return to the EU as it is currently constituted? 2: Should the UK return to the EU but only if EU governance and bureaucratic control is better democratized? 3: Should the UK join NAFTA and integrate with the US? This might mean ending the Commonwealth 4: The UK should remain completely independent and leader of the Commonwealth?
Some rules for interviewing Johnson. Don't laugh at his jokes, don't fall for his faux classicism, and his excuses, don't fall for his distractions. Fact check him, go straight down the line all the time. Like many fraudsters he'll become evasive and aggressive, but keep going.
I'm 6 minutes in and he can't say a single word of truth nor answered the actual question. Same old Boris....bs and bluster. This interview reminds me why I'm so happy he is no longer in politics
There is NO WAY that Cameron could have stayed on. All the Brexit nutjobs would have said that he was trying to thwart Brexit, as they did about everyone who was not doing their bidding. Of all the terrible things Cameron did, resigning when he lost the vote was not one of them
