A pig that “looks like a Picasso-style hairdryer”
In a speech to business leaders, Johnson praised the Peppa Pig World theme park, which he visited with his family the day before and which is based on the cartoon character Peppa Pig. In between he lost the thread for a few seconds and flipped through his documents.

IIn a speech to business leaders, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson compared himself to Moses, quoted Lenin, imitated engine noises and said of a visit to a theme park.
In between he lost at the annual meeting of industrialist cbi As reported by British media, the thread for seconds and their documents quickly flipped through. Several times he said “forgive me”. Audiences described the speech as “disastrous” or “bizarre”.
His ten-point plan for the Green Industrial Revolution is similar to the Ten Commandments that Moses brought from Mount Sinai, Johnson said Monday. “Lenin once said that the communist revolution is the electrification of Soviet power and the whole country. The coming industrial revolution is green electricity and electrification of the whole country.”

However, he replied, “I think people understood most of the points I wanted to make, and I thought it was well received.”
