Former British prime minister Boris Johnson gets stuck on a zipline in 2012.

10. “We cannot turn our backs on Europe. We are part of Europe.”

Hmmm … interesting for a man who actively campaigned to leave the European Union. 

9. “I don’t know what a pint of milk costs.”

How out of touch can a person be? Any member of Parliament must know about the basics of their constituents’ lives. 

8. “Great Supine Protoplasmic Invertebrate Jellies.”

Boris, why would you as mayor of London, say this to the elected members of the London Assembly. It just shows the frame of mind of this man.

7. “My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive.”

We all thought this, but then the public went ahead anyway and elected the largest idiot in British politics.

6. “I am not going to step down.”

He said this less than 24 hours before he resigned.

5. “There is absolutely no one, apart from yourself, who can prevent you, in the middle of the night, from sneaking down to tidy up the edges of that hunk of cheese at the back of the fridge.”

I don’t even know what he is trying to say here. I think he just needs to stop eating cheese.

4. “I think I was once doing cocaine but I sneezed and so it did not go up my nose. In fact, it may have been icing sugar.”

Why did he say this? Everything Johnson says just digs him into a deeper hole.

3.“Peppa Pig World is very much my kind of place.”

It is a perfect place for children, much like Johnson. 

2.“You must stay home.”

Girly pop, you had a party in the pandemic — respectfully, be quiet.

1.“My policy on cake is pro having it and pro eating it”.

I mean this is a policy I can stand behind, if it wasn’t secretly a plot to get people to vote “leave.”
