Boris Johnson interview - Parkinson - BBC

[RupertGHeap]

@AtheistTower Eton is a Public School, Private schools are called Public schools

[clez2]

boris would be the best prime minister ever

[AtheistTower]

@MrJanesaddiction

It's an independent school, it's ran like one. Look it up.

[AtheistTower]

@MrJanesaddiction

Public school? He went to Eton you idiot.

[rouzbehazshab]

iiiiiiiii as you do... as i do!

[sooupdragon]

Amazing that Boris Johnson is a mixture of Turk, Frank and German. I guess he  gets his looks from his royal German roots.

[SoHo1965]

London has this Genius, Sydney has a mental midget named Clover Moore.

[IDontTrustSheep]

he's better than any comedian

[chanctonbury63]

@MrJanesaddiction So whos your pick for Mayor of London Then?

[chanctonbury63]

@MrJanesaddiction Why not John Prescott for Mayor then??

[gregapage]

Like a ship in the ancient world. WTF?

[dickpolson]

Boris Johnson=The modern Winston Churchill <3

[mjakes20]

Boris for Prime Minister!

[eclectica1]

I still can't believe that Londoners voted for this fool to be their mayor.

[UsernameIsBad1]

@eclectica1 Why not? This guy's a fucking legend lol i love him

[Easyandy100]

@MrJanesaddiction I think we are supposed to find this f*ckwit charming...

[josiahBLOGS]

Boris appears to attract support from people who use swear words. How naughty is that? Ken for London Mayor is clearly the nice guy who attracts nice things, nice, words and no swearing from his supporters. Therefore, it's: "Ken For London Mayor!"

"YAY"

[metalariff]

BORIS WE LOVE YOU

[dezboss]

I hope he becomes Prime Minister one day.

[ipolson]

The bigger the idiot you are, the more you succeed in Britain.

[BigFatLedgend]

Boris represents everything that is great about Britain!

[icaughtfire93]

what happened to his hair?!

[chanctonbury63]

@icaughtfire93 It grew out of his head.

[icaughtfire93]

@chanctonbury63 witty

[Easyandy100]

Impossibly posh twit. Would barely make it into McDonalds he he didn't come from such a privileged background.

[failsaffe09]

I'M SORRY, BUT IF I'M HELD BACK FROM WATCHING A VIDEO TO SEE ANOTHER SHIT CAKED DOG JUMP UP ON A PRISTINE WHITE BED FOR TWELVE SECONDS TO TRY AND MAKE ME BUY PEDIGREE PISSING PRODUCTS I'M GOING TO LOOSE MY MIND.

i don't even have a dog x'(

[xb0vv]

Borris vc chuck norris.

[MichaelLGibbons]

BORIS FOR WORLD PRESIDENT!!!!

[kirza94]

he is very weird but it makes a change from the smart and normal politicians

[brattycaz]

Love him, bloody breath of fresh air!!!!!

[akkinak]

Funny



[facejobby]

Yeah i'd have boris because he is a feasible arnold schwartnegger. People vote for him because he's funny and popular but behind that humorous and misguiding visage is a very clever man who is capable of doing his job. You couldnt have a better package, likeable and able to do the job he is appointed for. He's a right old legend is boris.

[lilemoduck]

That's right Boris. Now get back in your learning cage.

[Kia251293]

I love this man. Not too keen on conservatives generally, but if Boris Johnson was party leader, I would happily vote for them. We need a PM like him..

[Abdikareem0]

And this guy is London Mayor? LMAO

[erdal0]

there is turkish in there?

[VanDammage14]

Boris is a british disaster and a decendant of royalty (King George) which is why he was Hand Picked to be in politics.

[pacmandem]

@VanDammage14 are you actually fucking thick? Even in this video he details how he'd strived for years to be an MP.

If you genuinely think descendants of the monarch are blacklisted or handpicked for potential MP positions these days you should fuck off back to 1950

[VanDammage14]

@pacmandem I wonder why you are so mad? He is infact a descendant of King George II and also cousins with David Cameron. Do your research before you let off some steam on youtube.

[pacmandem]

@VanDammage14 Yes you are thick. I'm not disputing whether he's in fact realted to King George etc.

How about reading my comment properly and understanding it before you let off some steam on youtube.

[VanDammage14]

@pacmandem The word is spelled "related". How old are you, I no longer care to argue my point, for those with enough experience and wisdom they are able to make their own opinion on how or why Boris became Mayor of London despite the fact that he is a descendant of King George II and cousins with David Cameron, and also member of the Bullingdon Club.

[pacmandem]

@VanDammage14 Jump on my typos why don't you lol you absolute mug.

And there's nothing to argue; you have no point.

[ModernBabylon]

@VanDammage14  you're a funny little man.

[mikris50]

Assume away!

My 'comment' was merely personal hyperbole in reaction to that contained within the posting, nothing more nothing less. If, based upon same criteria you are able to comment in positive support of the posting then do so. If not, just fuck off!!

[mikris50]

Yahrr, as one as I do, as you do, Yahrr, Yahhr, Yahhr.....the super-privileged at its most stupid best!

[Tomazimon]

@mikris50 I assume that you discriminate equally with chavs, geordies, cornwallians, theWelsh?

[Griff0oooo]

I have finally finished watching all these youtube clips and one thing is evident in all of them. Parkinson is an incredible show!

[pacmandem]

@Griff0oooo Lol. You need to get out more. It's a good program, granted, but "incredible" is a bit strong.

[mick3545]

Cant take criticism knobber, then don't fuckin comment. Your the reason britain is in such a shit state.

[Tomazimon]

@mick3545 I would argue that people who can't use grammar, or indeed spell properly, are equally responsible.

[roryc89]

@mick3545 what are you talking about? Britain is an amazing place to live, full of opportunities. My only complaint would be that we have too many whiny bitches like yourself

[Destro7000]

aww, that's a brilliant interview, I'd never seen that before !

Love how he referred to the pavement as 'the shoreline' XD

[josiahBLOGS]

UNDOUBTEDLY KEN 4 MAYOR IN 2012! He ‘says it as it is’ to them venial right-wingers constantly stalking him day and night trying to trip him up on every jot, tittle, off-the-cuff remark or photo which can be digitally revamped to make him appear a communist zombie. Actually, zombies (for their tragic history) are the likes of you and me crushed, unwilling, unable to speak against dark Tories frequently ensconced during full moon Conservative HQ caviar and champagne guffawing debates.

[TomMackio]

@josiahBLOGS Do you even live in London? We don't want red Ken pandering to the union agenda for years to come. Before Boris became mayor everyone was trying to trip him up and saying it will be the end of London if he wins. He has been a successful mayor.

We want positive politics, we want bikes and we want BORIS!

[josiahBLOGS]

@TomMackio Yep Mackio! I lives in London...YAY! 'an, like you, I'm all for bikes (even dikes) but NO BORIS! PLEAS!!!

[charlieiscool1000]

Boris is funny and seems like a good guy but he has made alot of stupid suggestions recently but id much rather have boris over that terrible Communist far left anti English pro IRA pro islam twat by the name of ken he promised that he wouldnt ran a third fucking term and i will make sure he doesnt get back into office we dont want him he should leave London why hes trying too run again just shows that labour are the same old traitors.

[CasparWilson]

"a lively exchange of views" love that old legal phrase

[mittROMNEY666]

why dont we have any funny pols in us

[sweetypie000]

Johson, please don't run for Mayor again

The only thing you have done notable is the cycle scheme which is badly needed the Olympics coming up to be able to travel some other way than the hideous tube or scummy bendy, poorly driven buses (which you said would be abolished immediately on your election to Mayor)

Do us all a favour - let someone else try so we can have the option of going through bad eggs sooner than later till we get someone decent in the job. Don't prolong it for your own wallet

[DanRaccoon]

If he didn't have the hair he'd look a bit like Matt Lucas, but crazier.

[Tarynus]

I think Boris did a Gerald Wiley by giving up comedy & going into politics

Look at Ricky Tomlinson, he's just cracking up with Boris sat next to him!

[HeyStacky]

I hate Conservatives with a life long passion. I love Boris. Ergh?

[GlasgowCelticPat1888]

@HeyStacky touché

[tonycatman]

My all time hero. I can never work out if he is being intentionally funny.

The best, possible imaginable Mayor LDN has ever had.

[lamestguyintown]

UK ROCKS

[pbegley99]

Bojo there proving that Bertie Wooster wasn't a completely fictional character.

[buckstoneboy]

Funny today..clown next week...arse hole next year....now remember people...this fop headed young scamp...scounderal etc...cheats on the woman in his life with who gives a daring do attitude....makes and decides how we live and work our way to the grave......will be a fuckin peer one day...MENTAL

[mick3545]

@buckstoneboy Fuckin nazi, lighten up and smile for once.

[buckstoneboy]

@mick3545 Save your breath for your next date, you will need it to blow her up..MUPPET.

[magdelina22]

Boris my hero. the best of british.

[schueybull]

a rare thing in a mp,a great personality,wish his was our pm

[ChRoPi21]

He's like a mix of barbie, hugh laurie and Hugh grant! LOL

[sparkyinbath]

i don't think Boris is any less daft than any other politician. He just doesn't bother lying. He's honest and genuine and likable and clearly intelligent and is one of the few politicians i like listening to. He's got common sense.

[jazzx251]

@sparkyinbath

Lol - he is likeable, in an articulate, yet nice-but-dim kind of way.

But common sense?

I just went to London and was NOT impressed. He's done nothing.

[chatty2207]

@sparkyinbath don't you mean any more daft?

[ambiman101]

The head of sixth form at my school looks just like Boris Johnson; it's fantastic to have such a funny politician.

[JohnDelaney67]

Well there you go .. we got a funny guy for London Mayor... Can we get rid of him soon at the next election plz. He's an absolute fool making George W look intelligent

[TheDarkestLover]

Ahhh he's such a legend <3

[TheDarkestLover]

Ahhh he's such a legend <3

[Hellishcrusade]

One of the finest chaps on the planet.

[PiterdeVries03]

Wow, a politician with a sense of humor and whose is activily enterntaining. Need more of those.

[TheRickynow]

fuck orange adds:P

[greatwhitepoet]

Murdoch has a massive news and media organisation that is able to reach into every living room throughout the entire Western world and beyond. Much of its so-called news content is carefully designed to induce a particular bias toward a view that would be favourable to the view represented by the Murdoch propagandists.

These are the Tories who run the Tory Press and influence the polls don't let them influence you.

[thenewsophialoren]

Its alleged that I said 'bollocks' to her...

One word: LEGEND! :)

[kealyc]

@ScotlandMaleGlasgow - I've got a feeling you're right. Westminster's laws are decided upon in Brussels, Blair or whoever sold the vetos down the river a few years back. But at least we've still got our currency. That way, we can control our own interest rates. Europeans don't understand the British economy. Say what you want about England, but London understands the British economy better than Brussels.

[beepandbop]

That is because the government that is elected is generally powerless in the wake of the unelected government, i.e. bureaucrats.

These bureaucrats have a death grip on almost all European governments and only energetic and popular politicians can afford to do anything about it--but they're usually voted out of office by a mislead population coupled with campaign money provided by bureaucrats who don't want to be "fired."

[beepandbop]

On youtube, all sorts of allegations and parallels have been drawn.

[beepandbop]

Hey, it's youtube, not the most conducive platform for subtleness.

My apologies sir.

[beepandbop]

Interesting how you think a stratified political spectrum could apply to someone living in the 13th century.

You're not the cleverest fox are you?

[GLASGOWBOY1990]

I wouldn't even care that he would fuck up Britain in such a crazy way it would be awesome having him as p.m.

i could just imagine him tackling foriegn policey with a rubber mallet and a dictionary.

[cjxked12]

:L for work experience in school borris was probably a traffic light :L :L

[UsernameIsBad1]

@GLASGOWBOY1990 he's the fucking politician in the world.. i wish he could fully run britain, it would be so fun, this guys simply a legend all the people with his kinda job are all misrable fuckers

[UsernameIsBad1]

@GLASGOWBOY1990 i ment best poli

[surfygirl21]

I actually want him to run the country. Put Boris up for PM ;) haha I'd vote!

[RoCkErX285]

It really is impossible not to like Boris :)

[chrisk22021]

@RoCkErX285

It is very possible. A publc schoolboy with a classical education makes a good after dinner speaker.

As a Mayor who is totally out of touch with the people he supposedly represents he is a disaster.

He is an idiot, a well educated one, but still an idiot.

[RoCkErX285]

I meant more personality wise than politically.

[JustB3NJI]

Easy to like, hard to respect or trust.

[FulchesterUnited]

Boris is quite possibly the greatest living Briton. In all absolutely serious honesty, I would vote for this guy for PM... he's just absolutely superb.

[tonyhgv]

have you seen him on "have i got news for you" it was the best EVER could not stop laughing..its a classic

[coolbro06]

Legend! xD

[montanatexasfloridaz]

boris is a legend :D

[mandscat]

I love Borris's hair

[MrRedeyedJedi]

way foward. lol

[VinylJunkie55]

Do a youtube search for the new single about The British PM called

"The Outlaw Gordon Brown"

[budgie530]

Top Bloke long live boris

[tiddlepop]

Boris for king!

[addz91]

Boris has humour

[24910077]

The man is a star...get rid of Cameron, pop in Boris and job done

[nowarpeace4ever]

boris for PM!

[balin2k]

@nowarpeace4ever YES!

[badseed136]

Holy crap, if he was any whiter he would be an albino.

[prettythings89]

@badseed136 In so many ways :P

[gozzle6669]

hes such a sweetheart!

[Gunjhen]

Absolutely adore him!!

[Brushles83]

lol he's hilarious

[ScottishMTBRider]

Boris is great. lol

[MrCommentz]

I thought he was just a bellend but watching this he's actually alright.

[youknowimright1]

well who would rather have as PM, miserable brown or funny boris, i know who i would rather have. boris anyday.

[pennydesouza]

@youknowimright1 So leadership of the country should be based upon personality rather than policy? What a fool you are.

[KakaCracker]

@youknowimright1 Miserable Brown, this isn't a personality contest, it's about running the country. You need to switch off the TV and de-absorb yourself of celebrity culture. A 'laugh' won't pay your bills or give you a job.

[AndrewJM70]

FUCK OFF

[frenchielcfc]

so funny. i dont agree with the torys but hes funny as fuck.

[adamturner123]

why not?

[ForwardN2Unknown]

I just read his remarks about the Africans. How can such a horrible racist be so sympathetic on TV?

[Omgonthe123]

BORIS!!!

[capricious71]

Britain needs Boris Johnson as PM. He would probably be a disaster but at least we'd have a laugh.

[kealyc]

@capricious71 - I think Boris would have to develop a more serious side before ever becoming PM. Not impossible. He's too soft and cuddly to be PM. You've got to be quite hard to be PM.

[claudis192]

@capricious71 Yeah.. I agree. If we have to fail we should create the greatest fail of all time.. :D

[magusson]

@claudis192 wow!, thats deep

[TRINITYFC11]

woooooooooo BORIS BORIS BORIS

type : BORIS. once if you love boris

[tony9L9L]

In the kingdom of the blind the one eyed man is king.

We are unable to take politics and politicians seriously in this country and it is a characteristic that I am most proud of.

[thedabaraHPL]

I LOVE Boris!

[Fleshious]

Boris is bloody awesome!

[YorkshirePunk02]

Boris for PM.

[CilicianKingdom]

Boris Johnson is 1/8 Turkish !!! His Grand-grandfather was Ali Kemal Bey, a Turkish liberal journalist and writer !!!

[CilicianKingdom]

Boris is the wittiest and most sponaneous politician in Europe !!! He is the BEST London Mayor Britain ever had. He should be Britains next PM !!!

[tammas2000]

The BEST london mayor britain ever had? Are you mental or just thick ya wank?

[07761223592]

even at the tory conference today he rocked, at last a politician with a sense of humour, something ppl from all classes can relate to, whos also very good at his job, and has done wonders in london. !!! BORIS FOR PRIMINISTER!

[TheJOliver]

Legend!

[Kaos77Kisame]

Boris has made a brilliant job of cloaking the fact that he's a very intelligent man, and the image he's built for himself as a kind of 'funny, lovable but clumsy politician' has made him almost bulletproof to criticism. If Gordon Brown (or any MP) let slip an unfortunate remark tomorrow, the press would be on him/her like a pack of hounds, but if Boris did it, the majority would say 'Oh, that's Boris.' and he'd get away with it.

[staggiboy]

So what? Every fucker who's got that far in politics is going to be a complete cunt deep down, I'd still rather have this guy bull shitting me every other day than anyone else.

Borris for PM

[zippidy0]

BORRIS FOR PRIME MINISTER

[trip3newton]

He reminds me of nice but Dim from Harry Enfield. I thnk Boris is class

[GoldenGal42]

Why oh why Boris do you not have a radio show!

[ovavoo]

Scray the people we have running our country....ex grammer school kids with no common sense frightning.

[magiera92]

BORIS!

[ovavoo]

JOHNSON!

[eljosho25]

BJ is so fucking funny its either him or clarkson for pm

[Juliusthebastard]

I love BoJo :P

Even though I'm a Labour supporter, you have to love him :D

[thatwassolastweek1]

same.

[lowestoftbus]

same here

[ChalkSky]

Boris is very funny and no one can deny an entertaining mayor. the only problem i have with him is that hes a Tory i.e a pompous prick.

[indigodingobongo]

Every politician is a pompous prick, you prick.

[hardcoreharcourt]

hahaha BOOM!

[ByronSmelly]

Boo! Politicians should have charisma, humour and, more importantly, a bit of intelligence. Better than the rest of this shower of shite... If you hate him so much what are you doing watching his videos?

[myg0tpurepunk]

Perhaps, but hes funny and got good views so who cares. I think it adds to hes personality.

[Oronare]

People forget that he cheated on his wife and kids with another woman, funny man, but certainly not any dignity or worth there.

[LoneDerangerer]

i think that's the case of almost every man.

[Oronare]

In politics, sure.

[fondoogle]

he truly should be the next leader of this country.

[seanzeek]

Boris Johnson is a good man who carries his integrity and honesty with him.

That's a pretty rare combination in a politician and one we should all be keeping an eye on.

Good luck Boris, don't spoil or sell out on us!

[coneko]

i dont think anyone could disagree with this

[PeteGeeza86]

He is an interesting bloke to listen to,even though im certainly NOT a Tory...

[SpiralBones]

Funiest guy in politics

[MickeyLove01]

London runs itself, well the immigrants do anyway lol

[MystyMary]

I am still looking for a video where Boris's hair is all flopping all over the place, like it used to do on ? time (having me in fits of admiration)

[glenben92]

this man is an absolute legend!

[IWantLandingSnow]

God, I Love Boris.

A Really Adorable Blonde Idiot *In a Good way* :P

[synchc]

hes not an idiot. hes a highly educated and cynical politician and pressman.

his demeanor is buffoon, his nature is politics and hes good at both.

[MystyMary]

how could anyone shout at Borisy! I'm an anarchist but I looooooove the guy

[MystyMary]

his eyelashes are so white, so swoonworthy!! With that custard powder hair, the guys a phenomenon

[mico2020]

"good heveans!"

[Brushles83]

ahahah i love this guy
