Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Bungling and incompetent Boris again !

Former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson was turned away from his local polling station after forgetting to bring acceptable photo ID.
As first reported by Sky News, he returned later with the necessary ID and was able to vote.
He cast his ballot in South Oxfordshire, where voters are choosing a police and crime commissioner.

Didn’t he introduce the need?

“Boris Johnson begins attempt to get himself back in the public eye by doing something on-brand for his ideal public persona”

Must be doing it on purpose.

I get that feeling too !

So the forum conspiracy theory is that he did it to make himself look even more of a bungling buffoon !

That’s what got him elected

Is there any conspiracy? It sounds very absurd.

I blame “Have I Got News for you!” - that’s when it dawned on him that he could play the part of the lovable rogue and have mass appeal at the same time. He’s been getting away with it ever since. Be a caricature buffoon and throw in a bit of Latin. Add a few self-mocking pranks…
