We are talking about someone with a not unreasonable degree of power. Are football tackles and getting stuck on a zip wire really good ways of assessing him?
And you don't care if it's an act? You don't care if an elected politician is completely faking it? :eek:
Exactly, let's bring all the comedians into parliament :cool:
Shawn Michaels is a committed Christian. Vince McMahon is a "believer" too. So if he went along with that Storyline, I don't feel hypocritical watching it and laughing at it.
Thanks for furthering my suspicions that you simply brought God into it for no other reason than it's a thread of mine...

All elected politicans are experts at faking it. Boris is no exception on that count!
As for the other things, he's shown he has a personality and character which is more than can be said for a lot of other people in politics!

I meant it was unfair of you to blame me for bringing up 'god' here when you're probably the the main advocate for it on DS.

No...No I'm not. Shows what you know.
Starting a thread for the purpose of other believers can hardly be compared to bringing God into a thread for NO reason what so ever except to start something.

I think you'll find Boris's ability to conceal his nature is relatively unsurpassed in modern British politics. If you think you get to be editor of The Spectator by being a loveable buffoon with a fabby personality you are sorely mistaken.

You can deny that but a right winged, staunchly religious person starting a thread on Boris Johnson, it all adds up

As I said earlier in the thread, I think he's a very clever man.
He's been very good at hiding his right wing views and his love of all things EU , If he ever gets Elected PM he will sign us up to full EU membership and the Euro .

I would be more interested in the morality and ethics of my elected representatives but if your primary reasons for voting for someone are simply how clever they are and their ability to knock up a bit of slap stick then I suppose he fits the bill.

When have I said I would vote for him?
The OP asked if we like Boris, not if we'd vote for him.

It's a good point because Boris does pull off the likeable buffoon act pretty well. You can enjoy the persona, and even believe that it's real and still never in a gazillion years consider voting for him. The worrying factor is the people who think he's funny and cool and do vote for him on that basis:(
It would be interesting to have a poll that split liking him and voting for him out:)

Frankie Boyle would make a great MP.
That you're being hypocritical.
Don't see what that has to do with this.
Incidentally, I'm not a believer personally. I simply think that:

(Sorry, but after Vince was brought up, I had to get this in somewhere.
How??

You mean 'Better than Ken'

Hopefully this option will be available in the next few days. If so, I'll cu next Tuesday and we can both vote together

How on Earth am I right winged?

Why shouldn't he get a shot at the top job
I would not trust him an inch he is a devious one

Maybe I'm a bit thick but what on earth has God got to do with Boris Johnson?!
He attended to the matter personally and privately and at some personal expense.
If I already thought he was OK he went right up in my estimations after that.
Not the buffoon he is portrayed as (or portrays himself as) at all - but a very kind and generous man.

Apart from when he was screwing Petronella Wyatt or helping his mate Darius Guppy out obvs.
