from calling the prime minister 'Boris'? Nobody called May 'Theresa', Cameron 'David' or Blair 'Tony'. The prime minister is Johnson. Calling him Boris makes him sound much more affable and matey and he's not at all - he's Johnson and he's a racist incompetent. Call me a grump but this is one of my pet hates at the moment. Rant over. Ta.
I disagree. I call him Boris because it takes away his power. I don't do it as a term of endearment or to be chummy with him I do it as it means he isn't Mr Johnson, he isn't the pm he's just Boris the racist.
Couldn’t agree more; it’s usually accompanied by a comment about how funny he is. It seems that personality and demeanour are more important than sincerity and policies, so Keir Starmer is boring so unelectable but good old Boris is so funny so should be PM.
So he’s got everyone calling him Boris. Which has you say is a matey friendly sort of term. Again - another example of a brilliant move by Boris.
Similarly I generally refer to him online as BoJo, but use PM or No10 when ridiculing decisions made behind closed doors (may be a reference to Cummings)
Not Boris. He’s very definitely not your mate. He’s Johnson, he’s not my prime minister and he’s a kun.t
