Did anybody here ever think of him as a good public speaker? I kept hearing how Boris Johnson was such a charismatic orater and I'm thinking are we seeing the same guy?

i think he's really good speaker tbf. he's got this off the cuff manner which is obviously really well rehearsed. massive confidence and ability to make it feel like its on the fly.

i also love this


like obviously he's a total cunt etc, but he's figured out how to get ahead

What you're describing sounds like someone who can trick you into thinking he's a good speaker - which I suppose you could argue is the same as being a good speaker. Honestly I don't really think he manages that though, he's got one trick and once you've seen through it there's nothing. Also I really feel that as he's got older he's lost any semblance of charm and boyishness and looks increasingly peevish and bitter... someone overbearingly insisting on something that you both know can't be true just starts to feel bullying or deranged.

Yeah, possibly. I'm not looking at him all that closely tbh. But even if you consider the leaving speech, which I did watch, I mean it was a pretty confident performance. Compared to Maggie say who couldn't hold it together.

He came to a hustings event at UCL, where I was studying at the time, when he was running for mayor. He came across as affable, self-deprecating, basically likeable. But that's just the thing - he's good at putting across that image. Or was, at any rate - I think Rich is right about the strain beginning to show after the past few years, the 'likeable' facade increasingly cracked. People have also finally got sick and tired of his fundamental inability to give a straight answer to a question.

What kind of person is it who hears of a sport that everyone else calls "ping pong" and thinks "that name isn't stupid enough, let's call it wiff waff instead"?
