Boris Johnson’s rambling Brexit address went viral because of what he says and how he says it
This clip of Boris Johnson addressing business representatives in Northern Ireland went viral not just because of what he says, but how he says it.
Here’s just a little bit of the so-called prime minister in action.

And it wasn’t just what he said that got people talking, it was how he said it. Basically, everything.

"He's like Winston Churchill!" they said. "A great orator!" They said. "A classical scholar!" They said.

This is, or should be, remarkable
What the Prime Minister here describes as a "great deal" is exactly what the entire UK now has before Brexit https://t.co/6Q3gjymAIf

Obviously pertinent that the PM doesn't understand his own deal & de facto admits it's unwise to leave the single market. But what I really can't get over is that this man – this tedious, bottom draw, pub-bore shambles – is our prime minister. https://t.co/AxDY6DF3y1

I see by “Churchillian” the papers mean “Johnson is also off his tits on booze” pic.twitter.com/DbQkNOxdy4

In all the excitement it’s easy to miss that in this speech Johnson praises the single market and freedom of movement and says Northern Ireland has got a great deal…. you know.. all the things the rest of us are losinghttps://t.co/58zOon4oA8

On the subject of people who shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near microphones, here we see the Prime Minister yesterday, doing a remarkably accurate impression of a man talking complete bollocks while absolutely blind drunk. https://t.co/UAKEDE0QYI
