I've had a few blips and wanted to punch myself in the face. He's marketed well, the cunt.

Cameron famously earned the nickname "Call me Dave". But I don't think anyone did

If he wanted people to call him by his first name he should've changed it to 'Pig Fucker'.

Yes, but with obvious exceptions when use of her forename scanned better in lyrics etc.

Maggie Out - Wikipedia

She was commonly and generally known and referred to as Thatcher.

A lot of people called her 'Maggie' IIRC, but it was never meant as a term of affection...

 

[Elpenor]

How much of this is just the shift towards more informality in the workplace and public life etc as opposed to a cult of personality among PMs and the pivot since Thatcher to an evolving more presidential style of premiership

Not much IMO, I'm old enough to remember folk talking about 'our Harold' and Ted 'Sailor-boy' Heath.

When I first worked in care in 1989, we were expected to call everyone by their family name, nowadays it's much more normal to use people's first names, unless they ask to be addressed another way.

The times, they are a changing, Bob.

TBF, I don't think she encouraged the use of that moniker . The thing with Johnson was that "Boris" was very much part of his brand.

 

[two sheds]

Into the 70s the Dutch (Germans similarly) used to call each other "U" rather than "jij" the polite rather than familiar form of "you", along with surname, particularly at work even if they knew each other really well. They threw a party when they decided to call each other "je".

Still Johnson the cunt though.

And that’s why the press simply refer to “Keir” and “Jeremy” when talking about current and previous Labour leaders

 

[teuchter]

Do the press usually call him Boris though?

I don't know if the Boris thing started while he was London mayor but Ken Livingston before him was also quite often referred to by first name.

Boris has a few more weeks to put a few more of his chums in the house of lords.

It's scandalous. Interesting article by Gordon Brown on the proposals:

Boris Johnson is planning to fill the Lords with his cronies and legitimise bribery | Gordon Brown

The honours system is rife with abuse and a paper by Lynton Crosby’s firm suggesting ‘rewards’ for compliant peers proves it, says former prime minister Gordon Brown

www.theguardian.com

Was thinking - he won't be Prime Minister for too much longer so won't (presumably) have legal protections that brings. Let's hope someone can find a legal avenue to sue the fucker for some of the corruption.

 

[ruffneck23]

he should be put in the tower for the rest of his days or better yet display his head on a pike.

The penguins can have the rest of his body, there is plenty to go round.

 

[campanula]

(((penguins)))

I'm not sure he would be good for penguins tbh a bit like slugs and hedgehogs.

There's a surprising number of PMs who've gone by their birth middle names. In the last century we've had:

• Bonar Law
• Ramsay MacDonald
• Neville Chamberlain
• Anthony Eden
• Harold Macmillan
• Harold Wilson
• Jim Callaghan
• Gordon Brown
• Boris Johnson

Added to that the full name of the current front runner is Mary Elizabeth Truss.

Illuminati clearly.

Sensible policies for a better Britain we can all get behind.

Sorry, I meant being called by their Christian name rather than their surname. Electorate calling the binbag B**is like he's some cuddly friend.

 

[eatmorecheese]

Tony. Tonytonytony.

Hi, Tony's a pretty straight kinda guy.

Tony's cronies.

Ugh etc.

Yes, I wasn't quibbling with your assertion; just spotting the opportunity to raise that middle name quirk of PMs past, present and very likely future.

Johnson is arguably unique in that he was famous outside of politics before becoming PM. I don't think that's the case for anyone else since universal suffrage came in. Other countries have plenty of examples of it: Reagan, Berlusconi, Trump, Zelenskyy.
