He does dumb things to feign stupidity to mask his real intentions. He messes up his hair before every appearance in politics for example.
Think Bush dancing, he's still a cunt even if he's fooled some people.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
It's difficult to understand what I'm supposed to do with the overflowing disgust and genuine rage I feel about politics in this country currently.
Did you read the thread? He's a racist.

Isn't that like getting Colonel Sanders to look after your chickens?
That's precisely why he is/was popular. Idiots think "hoy hoy hoy I'd have a pint with him".

That's his shtick. He's perfected the ability to come across as the "normal" one, the only politician you'd like to go for a pint with. "One of us", as you were.
When in fact it's all an act. He's a two-faced, manipulative, slimy liar cunt who I wouldn't trust to hold my drink let alone run the fucking Foreign Office.

And not even a substantiated love poem. Just complete fluff, more appropriate for a royal wedding than a change in government.
He's been extremely careful not to ever be videoed or recorded speaking French (he's fluent)

Absolutely. I guess my point is most of the ppl in government are just as bad, if not worse. That could be said on a global scale aswell.
These political threads i find are extremely toxic. Nothing but non stop bashing, panic and insults. If you try and have a reasonable debate about these issues, it almost always results in insults, being accused of being a racist, etc etc.
This isn't directly addressed at you my friend, just a general observation.
Let's all hope this new government can reunite everyone and bring the UK back stronger than ever.

She knows the Brexit process is going to be a shit show. So maybe she wants to use Boris as the lightning rod? If she gives the position to someone who isn't that flamboyant, the shit show will be attributed to the PMO.
The questions is, why did Boris agree to it. Maybe he felt his not trying to be the PM was a huge negative so he didn't wish to fade into obscurity?

This reminds me of the time when Bush appointed UN hater Michael Bolton as UN ambassador.

There's no possible way he gets the brunt of it. She had to choose the poison pill or ignoring the will of the people. No antics from him can take that away
He looks like the type of guy who wouldn't do it accidentally.
He also could of rightfully stayed bitter in the wilderness.
Boris had no choice. Up until a few hours ago he was the irrelevant coward who ran away and buried his career. This is a chance to regain some semblance of relevancy.
Also, if he refused, he'd probably have to do so publicly, or May's camp would make sure every newspaper knew he was offered a position but refused. Thus solidifying his legacy as a coward.

This guy will try to get all the attention he can every time he goes somewhere, it will constantly put the media spotlight on him, and Brits will typically love it because seeing a high dignitary insult foreigners with sarcasm and a smile is a British tradition. Prince Philip, Boris Johnson, same shit.
Appointing a pop star to a major political position is never a good idea.

Thought it was a spoof story when I saw it on Facebook newsfeed!
They're starting at a 10 and have to work their way toward a 1.
I think they'll end up around a 5 - losing Scotland as part of the UK, loss of EU funding, the NHS will suffer, harsh recession, severe brain drain as the young and educated Brits flee for opportunities outside of the country.
Perhaps Boris can perform well when kept on a tight leash from Theresa. He's more than capable - he's incredibly intelligent, multilingual and has a ridiculous amount of knowledge on the history of other countries. But he just needs to tidy up, stop acting like an idiot, stop bullshitting and be a hell of a lot more tactful. A big ask. I mean, sort your fucking hair out and get to the gym, Boris.
He's like the naughty kid at school that shows promise, given one last chance to behave and turn things around.
I'm still surprised though.. Boris is definitely the odd one out when looking at her appointments.

You have been brainwashed by Juncker. Farage ran away, not Boris. Boris got fucked over by a certain Mr Gove - he even did his leadership speech.. just with a slight last-minute caveat at the end. And if Theresa only wanted him to sort out the mess, she could have put him in the Brexit team, she didn't need to make him Foreign Secretary.

He's been videoed many times speaking French:

Russian speaking Boris is best Boris.
Except foreign minister is all countries instead of one country, and it's also the head of military intelligence...

He's certainly not being setup to be fired, he's being groomed to be a possible PM eventually. May is helping him.
Plus it's definitely a gift for having stepped out of the race to begin with. She basically is PM thanks to him now. Was probably a deal.

Nah, I think it's simply about satisfying the leave camp and taking the heat off the rest of the government. I doubt she cares about his career either way,
