Why does Boris Johnson think Brexit is funny?
Sniggering like a schoolboy: Boris Johnson.
What did Boris Johnson think he would achieve by sniggering about his failure to produce a post-Brexit trade deal with the European Union in a televised press conference?
A wave of ill-feeling against him as the nation collectively realised we have been hoodwinked into believing a liar?
A wave of doubt as the nation collectively realised we don’t know why he was having a giggle with his transport secretary, Grant Shapps – but that it certainly won’t signify anything good for the UK as a whole?
Confirmation that he’s pig-headed and selfish?
All of the above?
That’s what Twitter seems to think:
Mutant virus, borders shut, economy crashing, thousands dying.

Peston: You must know by now whether we'll get a trade deal. Will we?
Johnson laughs and looks at Shapps. Shapps grins back.

This sums it up. Laughing with his mate when asked a question about a No Deal Brexit. All a big joke to him, absolute disgrace.#DowningStreetBriefing pic.twitter.com/U3P2tOAz12

Having a little giggle and smirk with your mate on national television during the #DowningStreetBriefing when nearly 70,000 people have died and my NHS colleagues are working themselves to the bone supporting critically unwell Covid-19 patients. Absolutely disgraceful. Dire. pic.twitter.com/oN2uHOYy35

The Mirror‘s Pippa Crerar put her finger on the nub of the matter when she pointed out that Johnson consistently overpromises and the fails to deliver on his claims.
Well done @PippaCrerar– the only one asking tough questions of the PM. Just a shame we always get the same waffling answer 😫 #DowningStreetBriefing #BorisHasFailedTheNationpic.twitter.com/V79aA9qQWq

And this was his answer:
Johnson was asked why he keeps over promising and under delivering. He said things would be better by Easter. He really isn’t up to the job, is he?

No wonder so many people have lost any faith that the UK’s failed Tory prime minister – and its failed Tory government – will achieve anything good for the people of the UK. All they can do is giggle and tell us something will turn up in the future.
