Boris Johnson, praise to Peppa Pig and the comparison with Moses

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson created a certain bewilderment among entrepreneurs with a speech in which he praised Peppa Pig today, compared himself to Moses, imitated the roar of an engine and at a certain moment he lost the thread of words, apologizing with the assembly as he searched in his papers for where he was left. “Yesterday I went, as everyone should, to Peppa Pig World. Hands up whoever was there,” Johnson said speaking before the annual conference of the British Industry Confederation, in a speech that was to focus on the economic development of the north east of the country. England and the green economy. Fresh off a weekend with his wife Carrie and son Wilf at the amusement park inspired by the famous animated catone for children, Johnson used Peppa Pig to praise the creativity of the private sector. “Peppa Pig world is just my kind of place. Safe streets, disciplined schools, an emphasis on mass transit,” he said, complaining, however, that “Papa Pig is a bit stereotypical.” In addition to the cartoon reference, Johnson has even imitated the roar of an engine to make it clear that electric cars are silent “but turn on the lights faster than a Ferrari”. There was no lack of comparison with Moses: my ten points for the Green economy “are a decalogue that I produced a year ago when I arrived from Sinai”, he said. The ‘Peppa Pig speech’ was immediately targeted by the opposition. “It is a perfect metaphor for a chaotic and incompetent government – said the Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey -. Entrepreneurs ask for clarity and Boris Johnson wanders about Peppa Pig”. While Labor said his “jokes are not funny”. “It was a catastrophic speech,” entrepreneur Richard Swart of the Berger Group told the Mirror, according to whom it takes “a statesman’s behavior to help us navigate through covid, Brexit and shortage of hands. ‘Opera”.
