Out of interest, why do you take the piss out of Borisā middle name which clearly has links to his German ancestry. I canāt imagine you doing this if his middle name was Mohammed or such like.

Iāve wondered that. I can only think itās a kind of put-down, in the same way the intelligentsia refer to Tommy Robinson as Yaxley-Lennon. Thereās a sort of get out clause, in that the person being derided was once known by a different name, but Iād like to see anyone address my ex wife as āMs Scottyā, sheād knock them spark fucking out 
Likewise, I recall Muhammad Ali demolishing some poor blighter who had been goaded into referring to him as Cassius Clay, then standing in the ring over his prostrate body yelling āWHATāS MY NAME? WHATāS MY NAME??ā 
I say this as a lefty pretty miffed with those that would also identify as left.
Itās a typical āleftā tactic to take the piss out of things or people they do not agree with. It isnāt one I agree with. Itās actually something that the Tories do better.

I donāt. His middle name is boris. As pm he should be known by his correct name. His first name is Alexander and his surname is Johnson, so if others donāt use the correct name whatās the problem with me doing the same?
Why do you not refer to him by his surname like you would with other politicians?
Umm,
Gordon Brownās real name is James Gordon Brown
Tony Blair was really an Anthony
James Callaghan was really Leonard James Callaghan
The list goes onā¦lots of people I know donāt like their first name and want to be called by their middle nameā¦
People are just using the correct name. We could call him by one of his other made up names if you prefer.
Wayne King?
I kid you not.
How many of those were referred to in the news by their first(incorrect) names?
If people use his surname like they do for other politicians thatās fine. Until then iāll stick with pfeffel.
Oh stop it.
Iād sort out the family with trust funds.
Buy a mansion in Pilton so i can get villager Glasto tickets.
Iād buy a vinyard somewhere exotic that supplies wines I like.
Iād invest in some fun tech business to have work as a hobby.
Iād see the world in my private jet and watch England everywhere in Cricket Football & Rugby.
Oh wait. That was my mate from Dubai and he had less than 10% of the total when he sold his business.
Bollox. Need a new plan
And no he aināt got a private jet but he has used Netjets.
Isnāt his first name Alexander?
Can he call you Betty?
Yes and if you had read my reply to CB you would have seen i said that.
No. Itās not any part of my name, unlike pfeffel.
