He has that "just woke up" look all the time.
It's all part of his act. Appeal to the masses and don't come off like a Jacob Rees-Mogg.
Tricky prick extravaganza.
That's only to hide the fact that he has no eyebrows
Tea and biscuits at home all day look
0:17 I think that is the longest handshake I have ever witnessed.

Have a look at this one!

Look at the hand shake if you know what I mean 😉⏹️🧭
I miss the scene in Myanmar where he started reciting Kipling’s Road to Mandalay and where he knocked over a Japanese school boy.
Hell, at least the Road To Mandalay thing was perfectly innocuous. The rest of his stunts, however...
I miss the bit where a russian asset knighted a russian spy against uk intelligence advice
I don't like all of his views, but this man is soooooo unintentionally funny. Hahaha. I love this guy.
The best description of hillary ever
How can you not love this guy?
You just can't appreciate the magnificence of his hair.
+adviel 1:05 wow 😁
If you look at his actual political statements
....that hair....
@@tomgibson6801 that's why the establishment hates him. He has the potential to unite left and right
The UK pays him to represent us around the world LOL
He,s like a character from Monty python, but we still happy to pay him.
The Meek he’s about to be
@@deldia
For 5 minutes...
Andrew Cheatle probably!
Andrew Cheatle if he delivers Brexit properly with out all the bs that they are trying to keep us in them it will be a long time. He will basically get the votes from the Brexit party if he does and if he doesn't then yeah 5 minutes
@The Meek he is! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I love the way he speaks
Leave it to Boris to sort everything out. His cool.
Hahahaaaaa...deluded!
moron alert.
christian almli
eh
Greenpoloboy3
The dude incited a nation to leave eu only to reveal he hoped they would vote no and BAILED.
THAT's the kinda person we're talking about.
christian almli
Well OK, I know he isn't everyones cup of tea
1:04 describing Jeremy Corbyn 😂😂
Has he seen the treatment of palestinians? Its beyond reprehensible
@@nadz993 don’t bite the hand that feeds you
This guy looks so lovable 😅
0:35 lmao hahahaa
I miss Boris' shiposts.
Bless him!
Hey BBC what's up with the smear campaign?
they attack anyone who was part of the Leave campaign.
+Thomas Williams I find it hilarious how they don't even hide their bias with articles like Boris is a liar - French FM but no articles on other leaders like ex PM of Australia Tony Abbott calling Boris a good friend of Australia.
More like a sneer campaign.
Just trying to warn us
I think he's great.
boris is that character in a game which you can buy at any time.
Hillary is a natural repellent of any form of public accountabilty and moral honesty. YOU GO BORIS !
So great he’s not longer our PM
Gaffes, moptop, and all, you can't help but love him. His excuse for his remarks about Hillary were funnier than the snipe itself.
No, we detest the fraud. An absolute fraud and if you are being serious then you are an absolute cap-doffing, subservient balloon who knows your place. In other words you are an utter imbecile.
Yes 👍🏻
Boris you legend
stay happy, It’s true this man is a leg end.
He described her as Nurse Ratchet. He’s not too far off really.
God damn I love Boris
Amen! Go Boris!
He's right about clinton
What he said about a proposed boycott of Israeli goods was no gaff, he was right to say what he did.
He will be very popular in America as will as Westminster
Great stuff Boris. We are all tired of the status quo. Time for gaffes and Brexit 👌
spot on about hillary
Is it me, or have people noticed a substantial rise in anti-intellectual sentiment?
Maybe that's because the so called intellectuals have started spouting utter nonsense and betrayed logic for emotional principles. Modern Liberal deontology is vastly inferior to older Liberal implementations of utilitarianism.
SlightlyVisible Are 'logic' and 'emotional principles' always mutually exclusive? Is it logical to make such an assumption? In theory I might agree with your evaluation of utilitarianism, except it depends on how you define 'usefulness', whether the assessment is objective; and whether a duty-based system of ethics necessarily precludes the possibility of universal happiness.
Boris is incredibly intelligent though
@@gopr3117 Really ? Lots of people say this but he hides it well.
It's you. If that's how your bring people over to your side - by being an absolute patronising snob.
He is a funny guy
Let's hope for good as we pray for her
Boris is SO right about Hillary!
The description of Hillary though sounds like him😆
I do love his description of corduroy jacketed academica liberals, basically as it's truth and truth can be devastatingly funny.
The voice of england in the world? - Christ, how the mighty are fallen.
Great Britain best of luck, you'll need it....
Well at least it’ll be good cabaret as the cruise ship sinks.
Hes funny and likable, I just wish he was a good politician too.
0:11 - He's drinking from the finger bowl again, isn't he...
The thing is boris Johnson is quite a dangerous individual. People say that he is funny. Acting like a lovable rouge can only take you so far be no doubt he is more far right than is healthy. I worry that people like him are not the true face of Britain
“Nobody sees anybody truly but all through the flaws of their own egos. That is the way we all see ...each other in life. Vanity, fear, desire, competition-- all such distortions within our own egos-- condition our vision of those in relation to us. Add to those distortions to our own egos the corresponding distortions in the egos of others, and you see how cloudy the glass must become through which we look at each other. That's how it is in all living relationships except when there is that rare case of two people who love intensely enough to burn through all those layers of opacity and see each other's naked hearts.” Tennessee Williams.
Don't let him being 'wacky' distract you. He's a terrible person.
What a mess we have representing this country .how ever did he get so far .
You didn't, I didn't . Guess what, it's Democracy- something that Remoaners thought they could do without. The rest is history.
If there's one good thing to come out of this, Boris will provide some lulz... especially if he's the stand-in at PMQ's when Theresa is away.
But I get the feeling either he won't last long or we'll be apologising endlessly to foreign countries.
This comment didn't age well
He's allowed to bumble and waffle because he's a so called class above. If a working class person said as little, they'd be viewed as thick..it'll never change in this country, it's too stuck in the past..very unequal, just how the tories want it to remain, conserving relics of the past and putting their crony relics in the House of Lords..clap the NHS old boy but don't pay them what they're worth. It could only happen here. .and while we're at it let's let kids go hungry and blame the parents, typical tory hogwash ! It doesn't resonate with them that their policies have failed after 10 years of divide and rule.
Here is a far from exhaustive list of examples of the systematic abuse of disabled people that has been going on since 2010 when the Tories were elected: The government's own figures admit that thousands of disabled people have died within six weeks of being declared "fit for work" and stripped of their disability benefits by the Work Capacity Assessment (WCA) regime. The WCA regime was declared unlawful for the way it discriminates against people with mental health conditions, but the Tory government carried on regardless. Appeals against botched WCA rulings have been costing £50 million a year. This cost is paid for by the taxpayer, not the profiteering corporations that made the botched assessments in the first place. The WCA disability denial regime costs way more in corporate outsourcing contracts to administer than it will ever save in reduced disability benefit payments, meaning the Tories are forcing the taxpayer to subsidise their systematic abuse of disabled people.
An incredible 420,000 disabled people were hit by the Tory "Bedroom Tax", many of them for "spare" rooms used for medical equipment, or for carers to sleep in. The financial stress caused Stephanie Bottrill to commit suicide leaving a note blaming David Cameron and the Tory government.
Tens of thousands of disabled people were forced onto the Tories' shambolic Work Programme, but the outsourcing companies running this scheme knew they could never make a profit from helping "difficult to place" clients, so disabled people were just "parked" while the corporate parasites focused on cashing in on easy to place clients. Just 8% of disabled people to be put through the Work Programme end up finding jobs!
A United Nations investigation into the treatment of disabled people in the UK found that the UK government was committing "grave and systematic violations" of disabled people's rights. In March 2016 309 Tory MPs voted to cut the Employment and Support Allowance by £1,500 per year. Not a single politician from any other party voted in favour of these cuts. As a result of this brazen economic assault on disabled people, several Tory MPs were sacked as patrons of disability charities.
The Tory party claimed to be scrapping the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and replacing it with Personal Independence Payments (PIP) in order to make sure the money went to the right people, but in April 2017 they slashed PIP payments by 33% using the perverse excuse that this would incentivise them to find work (despite there being no evidence whatever to back up this claim). Disabled people undergoing PIP assessments have routinely been asked "why haven't you killed yourself yet?" by their assessors. An incredible 65% of PIP decisions that go to appeal are overturned, yet the profiteering outsourcing corporations making these botched assessments (Atos and Capita) just had their contracts extended by two years by a no-bid process!
The Tory party constantly claim that their disability cuts and are trying to get disabled people into work, but they deliberately laid off 1,500 disabled people by shutting down Remploy factories, many of whom are still out of work years later.
Despite constantly going on about the importance of helping people with mental illnesses, the Tories have been doing precisely to opposite; slashing funding for mental health services and actively instructing it's corporate army of disability assessors to discriminate against people with mental health conditions.
The Tory government are confiscating an astounding 900 adapted motability vehicles from disabled people per week. In one case they confiscated the motability vehicle to save £6,000 and then agreed to pay £65,000 in taxi fares so that the disabled person could continue going to work!
As I said at the beginning, this is a far from exhaustive list of examples of the systematic Tory abuse of disabled people. Are you honestly going to endorse this? If you vote Tory, you endorse the continuation of this disgusting Tory agenda of abusing and impoverishing disabled people.
Boris johnson mum still cuts his hair
Lmfao! "how do you respond to bashing hillery?" well errrr ummm oh, yes, I said that did I? Oh quite, well errrr, wiffwaff! British! Look at my hair!
It's even good that we u liked her so give her chance
Sense of humour. The lefty liberal U.K. Need leaders like Bozza
...He's a politician alright!..
Time to get the hell out of dodge
can someone give this guy a comb?
Why was he on an Amtrak train? We don't even put our own politicians through that misery.
It's not unusual politicians using trains here in the UK. But obviously this country isn't as big as yours.
i love boris
Boris is the greatest politician of the modern era
So when he entered politics he was thinking correctly, now he's been at the trough for a while his opinion on $hillary Clinton has changed ???? someone's had a word in his shell-like
The Thumbnail = end of the world
I didn't know they made An Idiot Abroad Season 4?
why is trump handshaking hilary?
He who laughs last...
0:23, one of them was the future leader lol, but not the "possible" one
I just don't understand the appeal of Boris? He's about as charming as finding a human shit on your dinner plate.
god i hate the BBC
He's like a British version of Trump...
Every body
Good morning my country South sudan 🇸🇸 and my live from family people on thank you very much every body
Horis if you hinder coming out of the single market or not to close our
borders which is part of the Brexit vote, you will be treading on
slippery ground.
Everything you do and say will be monitored and scrutinized.
Ladies and Gentlemen the next Prime Minister
His voice is so odiable
Sanki 3 yil once jazirlanis sunulmus gibi kim inanilmaz🤔
He never comb his hair.
With all that money, he couldn't afford a better haircut?? :/
At least he gave the British people a laugh and was naturally being himself! He was no worse than what we have now ! Bring him back!
as karen fawcett from bournville college would say he's our trump.
Roflmao what he said about Hillary Clinton 😂🤣 Boris is so politically incorrect. Ya gotta love it . It’s about time the thought police were given a kick up the arse.
A bit like Trump. Says whatever he thinks comes to mind.
So... Boris grandparents were turks, he has a russian name and he ruled London ?:)) That's the story , right ?
Why doesn't he comb his hair?
Well Boris you were right Hilary was and still is, what insight you have.
Palestine is not a real country
Muy fuete vibora eso cuidate policia que paso foto banco celular ezeiza
Dear Britons,
In America we think this guy is hilarious, but maybe not the best choice for foreign diplomacy. If he does decide to leave his post, he could probably have a spot on an American TV show in 6 months or less.
p.s. we don't have crumpets here but we have "English muffins" which are the same thing.
John Howe Same thing could be said about trumpo....
True but most Americans know Trump and Hillary are just political theater so when the Russians attack Obama can call marshal law and stay in office a bit. Also Trump already had his TV show.
bry suh fool fool johnson.
So he told the truth in Israel and the Palestinians took the huff? Not his fault. Boycotting Israel is a bad idea and good on Boris for not being afraid to say it.
R4
Omg...... You made your choice UK, respect that but if this liar and clown has to defend UK interests I wish you all the luck in the world. Unfortunately you will need that. Due to all his previous comments in almost every conversation he will be several points behind.......
Yeah because people leading the EU never lied, en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jean-Claude_Juncker
You're right, try to find one honest politician..... It will be hard..... But lies to influence the voters doing something really essential without being honest about consequences and without presenting a post Brexit plan is one of the biggest fails in international politics. I am not big fan of EU but what has happened here is that you as a country shot your own leg..... You don't want to see it or experience it right now but unfortunately it is what it is.
He's going to get us all mars bar a plenty and everyone will have free access to tandum British Boris bikes with badger mascots affixed to the front
Johnson is a British Bulldog, Old school not a traitor to the people unlike Labour.
He is another Trump
Excellent highlights Hillary Clinton USA
Me with 500th like 😁
At least he's making an attempt to comb his hair recently. Next step, tying ones own shoelaces.
Bunny ears, Bunny ears, playing by a tree!
He criss-crossed the tree, trying to catch me!
Bunny ears, Bunny ears, jumped into a hole!
Popped out the other side all beautiful and bold!
C'mon, Boris! We know you can do it!
That's the most childish comment I've seen today.
