>LONDON, Nov 22 (Reuters) – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was briefly left lost for words on Monday when he appeared to lose his place in notes during a speech before regaling business leaders with an anecdote about his recent visit to a Peppa Pig theme park. Searching through his notes, Johnson sighed, said “blast it” and repeatedly muttered “forgive me” as he briefly interrupted his speech to the Confederation of British Industry in Port of Tyne in northern England. Peppa Pig World is very much my kind of place: it has very safe streets, discipline in schools.”
I can’t believe people are still falling for this guy’s shtick.
Alternate title: Man says joke..
Capitalism ? Ha ha ha what on earth is that ?
We just print the money you see
>”Yesterday I went, as we all must, to Peppa Pig World,” Johnson told the business executives. “I loved it. Peppa Pig World is very much my kind of place: it has very safe streets, discipline in schools.”
> Johnson asked the audience of business executives who had been to the theme park in Hampshire, southern England, which says it is the world’s largest Peppa Pig World and “perfect for toddlers”.
> “I am surprised you haven’t been there,” Johnson said to those executives who had not visited the park, which includes various rides for young fans of Peppa.
> “Who would have believed that a pig that looks like a hairdryer or possibly a Picasso-like hairdryer, a pig that was rejected by the BBC, would now be exported to 180 countries with theme parks both in America and China?”
Ok, I have tons more respect for Boris now. I mean he’s one of the very few politicians in the whole world who actually addresses important issues.
