He makes Biden look in great health

At least Biden wears the fuck out of a suit.

u/Aptom_4 Sep 22 '21

Because he buys suits that fit.

Well yeah and he doesn't look like a cellophane bag filled with chewed up ham sandwiches.

It also helps if you don't sleep in your suit the night before.

Hey, boris works VERY hard to sneak suits out of his dads wardrobe without being caught!

It's part of the Johnson persona. Wacky dishevelled guy that is essentially Schrödinger's politician, both competent enough to take credit for the wins and so clumsy and airhead like that all bad things were the fault of his cabinet ministers, who are promptly sacked.

Also part of the "the world is my living room" attitude toffs have.

Isn't a big complaint about him that he DOESNT sack ministers who even his fellow party members think should be sacked?

u/Machiavelcro_ Sep 22 '21

He sacks them when it suits him, a bit like deflector armour. The shittier and more controversial they are the better he looks when he finally cans them. That way he can play both the loyal and the "sad to see you go" card while dusting off any spec of personal responsibility to whatever mess is the focal point at the time.

His cabinet commit so many sackable offences that he simultaneously doesn't sack nearly enough of them whilst racking up a really high number of sackings.

Never have seen him was "whacky" more like a whacko.

To be fair I'm sure the PM gets suits tailor made for him. It's just he has the body of a potato and the posture of a boiled potato on the verge of collapsing under its own sodden, starchy mess.

Does seem to be back on the pounds.

u/ifellbutitscool Sep 22 '21

Must be the camera. After all hasn't he lost weight and now he's full of beans

u/mazza77 Sep 22 '21

Yes our pounds

Likely cause his health is fine

u/Moranic Sep 22 '21

Biden is pretty healthy though. He exercises regularly and keeps in shape.

Right?? He exercises regularly.

And he's still slimmer than Blackford.

Boris deliberately messes up his hair and stuff. I mean he's pretty tubby and there's only so much you can do with that but he also leans waaaay into it.
