He is LITERALLY the English version of Donald Trump
Literally?? Hmm. Is it a mask?
stfu sadam
Wow... People really are ignorant aren't they ...
Yeah kinda like trump but with a big dose of crazy.
Not really. Donald Trump is an idiot but Boris is very smart. Anyone who says they are the same is dumb.
"I would have loved to have been a world famous painter". It all seems like a joke to Farage and Boris, it doesn't seem like they're actually taking this seriously at all, which is more worrying than the actual vote. If you don't want this, Boris, go buy some paint and some brushes. Let someone with conviction take your place.
Maybe they know what to do, and are slightly more relaxed because of it?
They knew exactly what to do, right? Maybe they were more relaxed because they knew that as soon as the referendum happened they would both let someone else deal with the fallout? Good one.

*BORIS FOR PRIME MINISTER*
+Myna Detail that is a stupid thing to say seeing as being a member was one of the things that was funding the NHS and also preventing the conservative effort to "Starve the Beast" from being successful. Now we get the watch them cut her up and privatise the pieces to our loss because people like you are unable to think past your own self-affirming bullshit.
Myna Detail Doomed how? People on your side of the fence seem to like parroting that without adequately relaying on how everything else creditable I've read point at the fact the NHS has not been negatively effected by EU influenced but instead by our own parties purposeful actions. So again, how?
Also I want to say I appreciate the light and friendly response. It is nice even if I disagree with what you said.
Myna Detail Do you have links to these papers that show that Commission intends to go against it's stated potion and enact the clauses that would make privatising the NHS and health serviced mandatory for member states. when I've had this discussion with others they have given me no credible source material I could read that confirmed this idea, I am honestly asking for links here so that I can read it for myself and not just rely on agenda-ed "he said she said" from initial period negotiation.
Anyway, Let me see if I have got your logic correct. You would rather take the onus from the EU, the party who has stated that they are going to put in measures to protect public health serves and prior to TTIP being put on the table have a track record of supporting such intuitions. And then give it to the holy to the government that has for the past decade been using underhanded methods such as "Starve the beast" to cut up and privatise swaths of our health service, who have been for considerably longer calling for it's demolition, who have been calling for TTIP just as hard as the European Commission but without as many assurances and an abysmal track record in reality?
Excuse me, but i'd rather protect the institute i love using realistic method rather than wrap up in nice sounding sentiment. That is how we got here. We had a much greater chance of protecting the NHS within the EU. Now that we are out of it we will have to follow the trade regulations of our greatest partner, the EU without having the special say we have enjoyed all these years. Never mind the fact the America, the group that has been pushing this the strongest will now negotiate with us while we are in an unprecedented position of weakness. Even if the government that comes after the conservatives states they don't want to privatise the NHS it is becoming more and more of a reality that they may need to offer that on the table if they are going to get anything close to a useful trade relationship.
I don't think people grasp the massive amounts of negative repercussions this move may have in reality. They are too busy saying things that sound nice to them.
Myna Detail Thanks for link I'll read into it.
Also do you not see the irony of you says I am pessimistic and then suggesting that government organisations always lie. Then suggesting I have my head in sand while suggesting it would be better for our Government to have total control over the NHS while wanting it to "protect" it from privatisation.
Boris wants turkey to join the eu and he wants britain to join the EEA with its free movement of people. There will have been no point having a referendum
Why does he look like the British version of Donald Trump?
Possibly because he and Trump clearly patronise the same hairdresser... :)
+toff358 absolutely brutal XD
Because they were both created in the same lab then set free to bring havoc to the world.
because he is
Same campaign managers probably!
typical bbc trying to drag up useless shit to make cheap t.v. and charging us 145.50p for the privilege of watching it....
I agree entirely I think the BBC has had it's day
Move to USA then and swallow Fox News every night lowering your IQ by the day!
Just admit it. Boris is an IDIOT.
dont take main stream media seriously full stop
+Lord crusader
Actions speak louder the words, so why not give up your TV set(s)?
Watching TV is not compulsory.
you caused all the trouble and now he doesn't even want to run for PM! lol
He's already regretting lol
alot of very foolish people ASSUMED he would be P.M... you being one of them.
No he didn't. If you think everything was hunky dory before this vote then you are off your head sunshine. Look who's causing all the trouble now, idiot SJW's like yourself.
He caused NOTHING. Cameron is the destroyer of the EU because he misused this vote for his own political goals.
He is the ONLY guilty one.
He's saying hes not the right person to be prime minister
What a frightening thought, that someone like him should make any decisions in the political steering of the UK.
it'll never happen don't worry
"I think it's a very tough job, being prime minister"
I mean, he's right, but perhaps not for the reasons he anticipated when he said it.
He lacks judgement & his remarks are pathetic, when he talks about tearing up protocol regulations with Northern Ireland. You try running a business that trades with Europe & see how stupid he is.
He's a complete waste of time.
"I wanted to be a rock singer or guitarist, or a painter, but basically my talent is skullfucking the public, so I'll settle for that."
If elected next Tory leader he will be the most interesting prime minister Britain has had for a long time. Maybe slightly eccentric but strong leader.
very true
And what the world needs is interesting leaders.
Fucking selfish toff that put himself first at the expense of our country, which he ripped apart. He always supported the EU!!!!
This didn't age well.
this aged like a fine wine
Micheal Cockerell does a very good impression of Boris Johnson
The UK's future is as bright as Boris's disheveled look!
Teebs: "If Boris Johnson looked downbeat yesterday, that is because he realises that he has lost.
Perhaps many Brexiters do not realise it yet, but they have actually lost, and it is all down to one man: David Cameron.
With one fell swoop yesterday at 9:15 am, Cameron effectively annulled the referendum result, and simultaneously destroyed the political careers of Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and leading Brexiters who cost him so much anguish, not to mention his premiership.
How?
Throughout the campaign, Cameron had repeatedly said that a vote for leave would lead to triggering Article 50 straight away. Whether implicitly or explicitly, the image was clear: he would be giving that notice under Article 50 the morning after a vote to leave. Whether that was scaremongering or not is a bit moot now but, in the midst of the sentimental nautical references of his speech yesterday, he quietly abandoned that position and handed the responsibility over to his successor.
And as the day wore on, the enormity of that step started to sink in: the markets, Sterling, Scotland, the Irish border, the Gibraltar border, the frontier at Calais, the need to continue compliance with all EU regulations for a free market, re-issuing passports, Brits abroad, EU citizens in Britain, the mountain of legistlation to be torn up and rewritten ... the list grew and grew.
The referendum result is not binding. It is advisory. Parliament is not bound to commit itself in that same direction.
The Conservative party election that Cameron triggered will now have one question looming over it: will you, if elected as party leader, trigger the notice under Article 50?
Who will want to have the responsibility of all those ramifications and consequences on his/her head and shoulders?
Boris Johnson knew this yesterday, when he emerged subdued from his home and was even more subdued at the press conference. He has been out-maneouvered and check-mated.
If he runs for leadership of the party, and then fails to follow through on triggering Article 50, then he is finished. If he does not run and effectively abandons the field, then he is finished. If he runs, wins and pulls the UK out of the EU, then it will all be over - Scotland will break away, there will be upheaval in Ireland, a recession ... broken trade agreements. Then he is also finished. Boris Johnson knows all of this. When he acts like the dumb blond it is just that: an act.
The Brexit leaders now have a result that they cannot use. For them, leadership of the Tory party has become a poison chalice.
When Boris Johnson said there was no need to trigger Article 50 straight away, what he really meant to say was "never". When Michael Gove went on and on about "informal negotiations" ... why? why not the formal ones straight away? ... he also meant not triggering the formal departure. They both know what a formal demarche would mean: an irreversible step that neither of them is prepared to take.
All that remains is for someone to have the guts to stand up and say that Brexit is unachievable in reality without an enormous amount of pain and destruction, that cannot be borne. And David Cameron has put the onus of making that statement on the heads of the people who led the Brexit campaign."

100% True! you've opened my mind
my.. that's mindblowing.
brilliant thinking
Dope sauce comment bruh!!
Dope sauce comment bruh!!
Boris broke his nose three times playing rugby. What a monster.
Its posh to play Rugby now?
Always was. The elite schools were always fond of it. Football is the commoner's sport.
TynamM I went to a secondary school, hardly posh and full of lower class people, and we played rugby fairly often.
TynamM I don't see why. Here in Canada the well-off kids play ice hockey because, unlike soccer, the equipment is expensive. But rugby is about as bare bones as soccer, no?
At the end of the day this issue has been a long time coming, even if Boris and Gove backed remain the outcome would still have been the same. What you fail to understand the arguments for staying didn't outweigh the leaving so naturally was payback for how the European Union treated Britain over the years. However if David Cameron had got the issues of free movement, a reduction to the bill and actual real reform the outcome would have been different. The British people gave the EU one last chance to see if they would reform and they didn't. No matter how much remain propaganda was put for remain. The British people aren't stupid.
I agree, but what was more horrible was the vile and derogatory comments coming from the liberal brain washed youth of Britain, calling 17.4 million people idiots and racists because they can't have the common sense to look up what the EU is actually about, how it operates, and if it is even democratic. Which for the most part I think the leave side understood very well that it is not, so many spoiled brats it actually puts me off going to the Uk and interacting with 'my generation' .
*****
I know I have to deal with it 8 months a year, down side to trying to better yourself. I found out the hard way when I found I was the only one questioning things. Hopefully it will be worth it, I bet they are all sickened after this, not everyone on campus is a liberal 95% are though!!
When you say "how the European Union treated Britain over the years" - you mean, giving us a better deal than any other member nation was allowed, constantly making special exceptions just for us, and putting up with it every time we tried to drag down working conditions for everyone?
Yeah, I'm sure they'll be just begging to have that crap back.
No, wait... they're all telling us to hurry up and leave, then.
Now we're going to have lose all our special bonuses, while staying in the EEC (since leaving it will destroy our entire economy beyond recovery) - so we'll still have to pay all the costs.
Short form: we're about to pay all those costs you hate, and get none of the benefits. OR lose more than half our entire trade balance, and go hide in our caves, too poor to even have an economy any more.
Yes, the English people are deeply stupid. (Not British. You don't get to blame the Irish and Scots for something that only the English regions were angry and stupid enough to vote for.)
Utter dross Revital - every expert with two thirds of a brain was screaming for the UK to remain, simply because the risk/reward analysis showed that leaving could well destroy European peace and cause global recession. Watch the regrexit interviews. Read their posts on Twitter. They are stupid. Intensely so.
corpuscollossus
Ex-Pats wanted the country they deserted to continue in the dictatorship, wow we should listen to these heat addled brained drunks, for sure.
Only worried about benefits they will not receive anymore, that's all. Bunch of cunts. Ex-pats shouldn't get a vote there drunkards living the good life snorting cocaine on some costa del sol beach.
Tories accept the fact that the only person who will win the next general election for you is Brexit Boris - whether it's right or wrong, the most charismatic contender always wins - Not that I will vote for the Conservatives, nor shall I vote Labour, in fact who on earth will I vote for ... are there any political parties in the UK that are free from hypocrisy and corruption ???
The EU’s top leaders have said they expect the UK to act on its momentous vote to leave the union “as soon as possible, however painful that process may be” and that there will be “no renegotiation”.
Dear Mr. Cockerell,
being pro immigration and pro french coming to London is NOT the same as pro-EU, because the EU is NOT EUROPE.
What a voice! He's right he could become a singer
"I d like to be a great painter or composer". So would have Hitler.
shlibber Trump's law: you don't see the guy with the funny hairdo coming, but once he is there, there is no getting rid of the tosser.
shlibber Like Hitler, you mean? His Charlie Chaplin disguise worked for him, didn't it?
Hitler also created one of the first national health services... so anyone who supports our NHS is also a Nazi, right? "Otto von Bismarck, the authoritarian Chancellor of Germany, started socialized healthcare in 1883 with the “Reichsversicherungsverordnung” (Reich Insurance Act). However, only certain segments of the society were insured at that time, such as government workers and the elderly. It was Adolf Hitler, who actually completed the process and imposed socialized healthcare on the entire German population, as a part of nazification of the healthcare industry. "
SteveFusionX :any politician who admits to aspirations of greatness in fields with regard to which he lacks the talent required to achieve even the beginnings of success, is not only likely to pursue greatness for greatness's sake, but is also likely to make a complete and utter dog's dinner of his mandate, all the while blaming his failures on others and on external factors, at every turn.
In other words: he is a narcissist of a specific type and profile, that I could either explain in detail or name by its universally accepted designated paradigm: Hitler.
Sophie Dockx
so, ALL narcissists are "hitler" too? LOL
Everything is hitler to you social justice warriors...
Please give us some more words of wisdom, Soph.
Brexit means Brexit! Only a little bit Brexit is not an Brexit! EU people must go!
He's been out slimed by David Cameron. He's fucked regardless whether he becomes PM or not.
British politics is so exciting at the moment, they should turn it into a "box set." Americans would love it.
he walks like Churchill but acts like trump
When was it that the BBC actually stop being a neutral news organisation. Whenever I watch it now I just feel I'm being manipulated.
Why is the BBC considered a news network again ?
Catch 22. If Boris Johnson had declared his interest in the PM job the BBC would have criticised him for supporting Brexit only as a career move. If he decided to keep it quite (as he did), the BBC still criticised him. You just can't win with the BBC.
That guy clearly doesn't like Boris and cannot help being unprofessional because of it
you can say what you want about Boris he stood up for the ordinary British people and he won we have got Britain back three cheers for boris
Politicians proved they cannot be HONEST human beings. They way they answer questions proves it.
we're fed up with merkel
true
if merkel never invited those immigrants, brexit wouldnt have happened
Eduard Arnautu agreed!
He has no idea what he's doing and the working class and elderly still backed him.
nah brexit all the way
If you didn't back leaving the EU then you have no idea about economics. EU had some economic benefits but not worth the pain of everything else.
yes. stupid people are easy to sell to.
This was filmed before thereferendum
He admits he has something terrifyingly wrong with himself.
Because the “Party” would look after his interests. Dont forget his own family and the City of London were all against Brexit
What's happening in UK?It's still a developed economy.Why are people so worried there?
EVERY MP wants to be prime minster! So what?!
Boris has played the long game
It will become eternal & pointless without conclusion for his Conservative government.
Stop avoiding every question you are given Boris!!!
An absolute embarrassment.
He had to resign. Brits could not accept a Benny Hill character as Prime Minister.
Why not? Trump seems to be doing fairly well in America!
God forbid...
Why ? because he doesn't want to be held responsible if scotland leave UK.
4:00 . "the market .... community ..... European union " The evolution process.... Thats why the older generation voted leave. They'd been had!
Good on you nan!!!
This is from 2013, a lot can change in 3 years, a lot has changed in 3 years
so revealing what the EU is even for this documentary maker
"in favor of staying in the market ... ahh the community, the union"
the EU is a UNION, not a MARKET!
If that ball came loose from a scrum but that wont happen
Except it did happen. And it rolled right up to him
Because he knew he could win the election by appealing to xenophobics and racists .
Next question
what a load of dribble from the bbc, that man can't even string a proper sentence together.
What is he talking about?
He joined the Leave movement to destroy it from the inside.
Now let's make Britain great again!!
David Davies should run for leader.
Speaking on the eve of the referendum, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said the outcome would be final and "out is out".
Boris, due to his Turkish ancestry was always keen to welcome Turkey into the EU. He's shot himself in the foot there. And he knows it
He is the best candidate to replace David Cameron...... If there has to be a replacement
I can't believe he was Major of London
He backed Brexit to become PM. He is a clown; listen to him talking. He never replies to a question. He should become the next Benny Hill.
Let's make a joke about Brexit. The EU now has 1 GB free space
its the time where assholes are going to rule the world....
Love him or loath him he did at least get us out of the EU.
To the BBC you are still loved in the USA. Stand with your countrymen .England surrendering to dictatorship is bad. And we are so close to the same we can't help this time. Imagine if the BBC would have been pro NAZI.........I have the utmost respect for the English and the BBC. who has always stood with the English.....
He has no political opinions. No moral compass. No integrity. Ask anyone who has ever employed him. Ask Max Hastings.
What a disgrace he is🙁
Love this guy
Really, why?
is he on drugs
I'm glad actually, cos i never want to hate someone so lovable and eccentric.
Can we ask your opinion now?
Something kind of appropriate about the fact that Boris' hair is yellow … it might be the moment to start thinking about a different hair dye ….
Is it just me or have the Tory BREXIT team gone all wibbly wobbly since the vote.
I voted remain, but now I am thinking - come on guys - kismet - let's have the big plan and get cracking.
If you get it wrong, we will just have your political scalps - fair? That's democracy.
Gove and Borris look shell shocked and frankly not up to it. As for IDS, he looked even more like an undertaker this morning on TV. Could someone please tell them that they have gotten what they want?
Leadership is wanting amongst the 3 musketeers it seems, just when it's most needed.
now search Boris Savile
The state picked its most hated politicians to head the Brexit debate,(BoJo,IDS and Gove). The elite never thought for a minute that they would loose the vote.
will be a disastrous PM. Ppl will appreciate Cameron when he's gone.
See, this is PRECISELY why we're sick of dithering, evasive, irresolute men as politicians. Get a woman into number 10 and let's get on with the task in a straightforward way!
Vote in a woman;, you get socialism, we already got plenty of that, but thanks anyway.
UK going down the shitter
I think its time to shut the BBC News down because its no longer serious about the news and finds it difficult to avoid bias. Interestingly there are rumours that this has been considered. Good, when it happens please shut the rest of it down as well and let me save some licence money. Lots of other good news providers out there.
When you brag about divorce to just make a point... Then start regreating when reality of irreversibility sink in...
Put his interests first on the basis of brexit and has ruined the communities all around for his ego
He's an opportunist. At times he is against or for EU according to what position he thinks will get him more votes. He doesn't care about the well being of the UK, he cares about his career.
Madhouse please collect your people!
This is Boris Johnsons answering stupid questions. Check out the difference in this example "Boris Johnson accuses Obama of EU hypocrisy" RUclips.
At least we know what Johnson and Trump look like. Who gets a chance to voice their opinions to the European Council? Who can even name them without a Google search?
Britain pays three hundred and fifty million pounds £ per week to Brussels
so we made a good choice to leave EU. now this money will stay here which we can use to develop our great nation UK. we should now start making things in our own country and compete with the rest of the world. God bless Britannia 🇬🇧
Stop the public intellectual masturbation
so does he want to be prime minister?
Hello Nigel, hi Boris, i`ve got a few questions......Nigel.....?...Boris......? NIIIIIIGGGGGEEELL!!!!!BOOOOORRRRRRIS!!!!!!!!YOU PROMISED PARADISE!!WHEN IT RAINS because"MANNA"? No Boris, no Nigel..They meet probably just with England`s new friends Putin,Le Pen and Trump for tea.
we should have someone who knows nothing about economics and the EU to become prime minister. I really don't see much difference between this and allowing universal suffrage on an issue that the vast majority of people, by a long long way, know absolutely nothing about. This has been a very dangerous and politically correct decision to allow universal suffrage
American as PM? No thanks
The ball's loose Boris, time to have a crack at it!
Good Luck people,
Conservative Part
member of the church of England.... this is what UK needs
good boris impression at the end there lols
hes about to be prim minister may was mad boris is mad
Because its a game to him thats why.. hes always been competing against David Cameron, from hes days of Eaton and Oxford.. he wanted to make a point of it thats all.. going against his rival for many years.. he got the result he wanted..
good question ..... why did borris back brexit????
Come on, BBC! Leave BoJo alone. Good luck, Mr Prime Minister.
This guy ain't no trump. Thank god he is not PM.
Does someone need a reason to back something that has just succeeded??
Succeeded? What had succeeded?
Jesus, that guy really drones on for ages. I had to switch it off he was boring me to sleep.
Boris backed Leave for the right reasons, like the rest of the 17m people
he wants to be on the BREXIT side so he could be CONSERVATIVE LEADER!
shlibber Remain.
shlibber Indeed.
