Inatead of an interpretor for the deaf I hear there’s a bullshit-ometer on stage with him
oh no guys an ex-prime minister is making money
Great to see!
This means he can fund his own partygate defence and no longer needs to take handouts from the taxpayer.
Isn’t he still actually in office as an MP?
You didn’t see Theresa May wandering the world making money after she stepped down.
The real question is why would you want to hear him? What else did they get from him during his time as PM? Its not going to be anything particularly unheard and unique, and then why would you want to pay so much? I guess these types that go there are just so rich and dumb they just want the cred of having been a private audience with a European leader and the organisers make the fee back.. I’m sure some of his consituents are sufferring due to his policies and the general situation maybe he can donate some back to local programs. Lmao sure he will.
Quite an achievement for someone who takes half an hour to string the simplest sentence together. Maybe he charges hourly.
This is basically the primary reason for becoming a head of state, I don’t know why anyone is surprised, or acting like he’s the only one doing it.
The whole thing is a con job. He allows dodgy stuff for companies when PM and this is their way of paying him off using “a speech” that was so good they gave him £250,000.
Works like a charm.
Good!
Why? Because if he’s earning that much by NOT being PM he’ll hopefully be less eager to try for the job again.
I’ve been to a fair few of the types of events that pay £££ for after-dinner speakers.
The way it works is that you someone is hosting a big industry-wide get together for a thousand+ people; you charge suppliers (people who sell stuff) a couple of hundred quid per seat at the table, then they invite potential or current clients (people who buy stuff).
The suppliers will pay this money if they get to spend time with the clients, but the clients would probably rather stay at home than get all dressed up and eat mediocre food with work people. So how to tempt them out? A great headline speaker!
People I’ve seen in this kind of environment include Tim Vine, Dara O’Briain, the guy who led out the British Paralympic Team in 2012 (Danny Crates), and the guy who landed a plane on the river Hudson (“Sully”).
Boris Johnson would be an absolute A-list draw at this sort of thing- he’s led a very interesting life, been the head of government during one of the most turbulent political times possible, has Zelensky, Trump and Biden on speed-dial, might make a few jokes about spunking on the gold wall paper. Absolute box office.
I don’t really know the figures involved- but wouldn’t be surprised if BJ was >£50k for turning up and doing a 15-30 minute speech. Do that on a Friday and Saturday night for 10 weeks and there’s your million quid.
which equates to about £20k per lie, i haven’t done any research, but it sounds about right.
Yep, as all PM’s have done before him
Why does he still wind up the wets so much?
If it keeps him from attempting to become PM again, I am OK with this. I’d rather he was here and answering for his mismanagement of the pandemic, however if this is why he chose not to run against Sunak (even partially) then that is something.
It’s a misprint! Boris paid £1mil to those who agreed to listen to his speeches!xD
A yes and well you know and the damn thing are everywhere like those you know times when, uh, like a fox that’s out of a hen house with a prized goose under his arm tail bushy as, properly bushy you know the bristly ones like a fresh gooseberry, yes indeed, haven’t been seeing them around so much you know.
I’d much rather Johnson fleece the after dinner circuit where he recycles the same gags rather than have him anywhere close to power.
It’s safer this way
Why the fuck are people paying to listen to this bumbling, lying shitcunt rabbit on?
It’s well-known that he doesn’t prepare for engagements and simply trots out some trite, recycled, waffling anecdote, going off on several tangents throughout, and finishing on no point whatsoever.
I’d sooner listen to Joe Pasquale reading me my own obituary.
Don’t get why anyone would pay for a speech from any ex politician, unless that payment s really just a bribe for “access” to the political apparatus. Surely not, right?
What kind of speeches and topics he covers? Where can you find tickets?
But will he be able to put 300 million a week into the NHS?
