Mr Benn

[gulliver1]

Boris just loves dressing up and playing the part of Mr Benn.
He has made appearances dressed up a Builder, Army Tank Commander, British gas engineer , to Fishmonger.
Etc, etc....But today he went to Liverpool and dressed up as a Policeman . Will someone tell him there is no need for him to dress up as a Clown .

//trying to ingratiate himself with the locals//
Isn't that part and parcel of their job?

[emmie]

he does it well too, believe it or not...

//Out of interest, what is this doing in news?//
What is it doing here at all?

[Ken4155]

There was no reason whatsoever for him to be fully dressed as a cop. I'm sure Johnson will have some dark clothing of his own to wear.

[emmie]

perhaps the police insisted on it, we probably won't ever find out.

[Ken4155]

Emmie, the police may have insisted on the jacket and the hat - both carrying police insignia - but Johnson's even got the shirt and tie on underneath?
"We probably won't ever find out." No, but we can all have a guess.

[emmie]

no guessing I'm afraid, no idea why he had on the gear...

[Ken4155]

^
"No guessing"?? You've had 3 guesses already :-/

[emmie]

if he was wearing the shirt and tie?

[emmie]

why do you seem to pick up on everything i say, its unnerving to say the least. not just this thread but others too.

[Ken4155]

Emmie, you appear to contribute to almost every thread on here so it's no surprise that our paths will cross. Were i agreeing with everything you have to say, i doubt you would have made your last remark.

[emmie]

perhaps then i will just ignore you and don't make any comments,
and no i don't post on most things, as most of my early morning is devoted to GMEB, and then after that it tapers off.

[Ken4155]

Do as you please. As will i.

[dannyk13]

Ken, if you scroll down on this link you will see that Boris is wearing a similar shirt and tie in other circumstances.

[Ken4155]

Danny, similar maybe (at a stretch), but a police tie is a police tie. And i'm not just having a pop because it's Johnson. I hate it when our politicians play 'dressy uppy' or pretend they like a certain music or support a certain football team. Just makes them look stupid, imho.

[Ellipsis]

Can't say I can recall any other PM ever dressing up as a policeman to visit the police. Or Home Secretary for that matter ... can you imagine Priti Patel doing it?

[gulliver1]

Will Boris be dressing up in his Elvis Suit and singing .
"I'll have a Blue Christmas without you"....to Owen Paterson.....LOL

Funny that Labour have not won an election since 1974 and show no real signs of ever doing so. Labour have only ever had 3 leaders win an election. The current party is in civil war, no competent leader and no viable leader material. Antisemites and terrorist supporters stalk their halls. Very few capable MPs, absolutely zero chance of winning the 2024 election. Yet devotees like gully and co choose to try and ridicule the PM using a children's program rather than knuckle down and try and address those issues.

Gully do you not want Labour to win?

[gulliver1]

TGT@ 09.09,.."Try to ridicule the PM using a childrens Program"..Eh !
"Boris Ridicules himself ,at a speech to the CBI ..using a childrens program
...called Peppa Pig..
