'Remarkably Childish': Boris Johnson
Boris Johnson has been branded “remarkably childish” after the prime minister name-checked Kermit the Frog in a speech about climate change.
Addressing the UN General Assembly in New York, Johnson was talking about technological breakthroughs which have aided the green cause when he launched into an aside about the Muppet character.
He said: “When Kermit the Frog sang ‘it’s not easy being green’…”
Looking up at his audience, the PM, apparently uneasy, asked: “Do you remember that one?”
He continued: “I want you to know that he was wrong. He was wrong. It is easy, not only easy – it is lucrative and it’s right to be green.
“But he was also unnecessarily rude to Miss Piggy, I thought.”
Did he think he was in his child's nursery rather than at the UN General Assembly? World Leader? What a joke.
