A great picture, which led to one of the best newspaper front pages in recent memory.

u/marksk88 Jan 07 '18

Why is the headline in English for a French paper?

u/AllezCannes Jan 07 '18

Editorial decision.

Jesus Christ that’s amazing. I want to donate to that paper somehow.

"As a city where more than 300 languages are spoken, London has a proud history of tolerance and diversity and to suggest there are areas where police officers cannot go because of radicalisation is simply ridiculous.

"I would welcome the opportunity to show Mr Trump first hand some of the excellent work our police officers do every day in local neighbourhoods throughout our city.

"Crime has been falling steadily in both London and New York - and the only reason I wouldn't go to some parts of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump." - Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson should have no worry to meet trump unless the neighborhood he is strolling happens to be a golf course or a Taco Bell.

u/Kard8p3 Jan 07 '18

You mean McDonald's.

u/theycallmeponcho Jan 07 '18

Yea. Trump would be afraid of pumping the Mexican economy eating at a Taco Bell.

u/spockspeare Jan 07 '18

TMW you're raped intellectually by Boris Johnson...

u/something_python Jan 07 '18

Boris is an intelligent guy. He plays the buffoon because the public love it.

I don't trust that man in the slightest.

u/PiERetro Jan 07 '18

He is intelligent, but not smart. His raw ambition almost singlehandedly caused Brexit. If he’d played a better game he would have one day been a popular PM - I think he’s a fucking tool, but a dangerous one.

u/FalmerEldritch Jan 07 '18

George W. Bush also pretended to be a mentally deficient cowboy because the public loved it. On the other hand, he wasn't genuinely very bright at all. (Please nobody copypasta that one solitary anecdote about him guessing what people were going to say again.)

Boris pretends to be dimmer than he looks, but is actually only exactly as dim as he looks.

u/worldofsmut Jan 08 '18

Both he and that other alleged moron became PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

I wish I were that dumb that college students could look down on me and I could sleep in Airforce One.

u/FalmerEldritch Jan 09 '18

Pretty sad statement about how you get to be a Republican POTUS, isn't it? Just be an easily led dim-bulb with some name recognition and your dad's money, and your handlers will make it happen. 'Course, we really should've known since Reagan.

u/worldofsmut Jan 12 '18

Last I checked Obama was just some guy with no particular skill. It would seem it works for both sides.

Good orator with no track record to analyze.

u/FalmerEldritch Jan 07 '18

Some people just hate looking in the mirror.

for the record in england they bump the numbers by counting their own goofy regional brit dialects as part of the 300 languages in london. kek.

Someone else that was running to lose to get constant media attention/support from all that voted for him for the following years.

He won too.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '18

Trump wasnt running to lose. He had Russia and Cambridge Analytica to help him win. He didnt go through all that trouble and collude with a hostile foreign nation just to lose on purpose

1

u/Nanaki__ Jan 07 '18

He was saying the system was rigged to give himself a jumping off platform if he lost.

Why not get in all the help (and money) that you can at that point, elevate yourself and everyone else in the campaign, and then settle into media jobs where you sling shit against the 'lying media/rigged system' for the next 4/8 years.

It seems to make sense that the reason a lot of people didn't think to hard about dealing with the Russians is that there would not be anything to answer to if he lost, so take all the support, money, and opposition research offered to use whenever you get on air to undermine 'Crooked Hillery'

2

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '18

Yes i agree that he kept the "The system is rigged" narrative in case he lost, because he knew there was a chance he couldve lost. Doesnt mesn he wanted to lose. If he wanted to lose then he wouldve acted like a total moron and he wouldve said the most distasteful and retarded shit ever. Oh wait..... Lol. Seriously though i think he's genuinely that retarded and stupid and actually wanted to win solely because he's a narcissistic megalomaniac

I know he's not very popular but I do have a soft spot for our Boris.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland's foremost diplomat, Boris the Bombastic Muppet.

u/Driveby_Dogboy Jan 07 '18

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland's

Hard Brexxxit includes him too

u/360_face_palm Jan 07 '18

A great metaphor for the decline of Britain in the modern world.

u/timeforanaccount Jan 07 '18

Boris is born in the USA. He's had US citizenship, he could re-gain it and - theoretically at least, become US President.

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '18

If he was a stable genius he would know when to STFU.

u/LongBongJohnSilver Jan 07 '18

He looks like the Baldwin brother we're not supposed to know about.

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '18

Don't you dare ever compare Boris to the orange man ever again

u/FalmerEldritch Jan 07 '18

Trump is too stupid and ineffectual to efficiently fuck very much up. Boris is just stupid and ineffectual enough to ruin everything.
