I wonder if Starmer could do this?
Perhaps this is how we should chose our ruling political parties. Best out of ten, netball shootout!
Boris and Penny versus Starmer and Rayner. My 5p would be on B&P.
Much more fun that putting an X on a piece of paper.
That oaf was The Mayor of London at the time. Typically - out having fun while other people did the work. Same when he was PM. Naturally lazy and full of bluster.
ReplyDeleteNot an oaf at all, but highly intelligent. And he can get that ball into a net, backwards, too!
DeleteHighly intelligent? Home come he didn't earn a first at Oxford then?
DeleteToo busy.
DeleteSorry - that should have read "How come..." not "Home come...". Trouble is that I am not highly intelligent.
DeleteNot a question of not being bright enough to get a first - too lazy.
DeleteHe was very busy being the Secretary of the Oxford Union, and a member of the Bullingdon Club. Very little time left for studies.
DeleteA tendency he displayed in later life as well…neglect the day job for your hobbies
DeleteIt never fails to amuse me how the 'Left' hate excellence. They absolutely detest someone as intelligent as Boris.
DeleteNot a bad idea.
ReplyDeletePerhaps if decisions were made on such lines, the UK would still be part of the EU. If there was ever a decision that demonstrates the problems with universal suffrage it was that one. As I have said many times those who voted leave had absolutely no idea what they were voting for - or to be more accurate they had no idea of the consequences of their vote.
We (of course) both voted to remain. There's a lot wrong with the EU, but there's even more wrong being outside looking in.
DeleteWe were not given the chance to vote about the outcome of Brexit - we had been out of the country about 4 months longer than the "cut-off" point, which was, I think, 15 years. Had many in a similar position been allowed to vote, the outcome would have been to remain. That was the first time I questioned just how democratic the UK was.
ReplyDeleteI think the cut off point of 15 years is pretty generous if you ask me.
DeleteI thought the vote was democratic but the outcome was ridiculous. People voted to “get their country back”, without a clue of what the consequences.
I think we were a bit 'inventive' about how long we'd been away, and we got our postal votes.
DeleteThat is a pretty impressive slam dunk!
ReplyDeleteNot bad was it! He could sign for the Harlem Globetrotters.
DeleteGood old Boris. Always entertaining
ReplyDeleteAnd a surprisingly good netball player too!
DeleteWas that Netball or Basketball? We never had a backboard on our goal posts.
ReplyDeleteThey are the same thing, surely!
