Another nail in the coffin of the credibility for the U.K.
These things would raise a chuckle if it weren’t all adding up to the downfall of the U.K.

Ordinarily I couldn’t give two shits about the bloke, bit of an arrogant knob tbh but knowing this appointment is triggering a few people then yes why not [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Will always remember him having a game of pool down the Wilmington, seemed a bit cocky....but don’t they all?[emoji23]
Anyway, as long as he’s rattled the head tilters [emoji1303]

When I first saw this on twitter, I honestly thought it was a joke.

Still, I expect he’ll make a better fist of it than Liz Truss.

As long as he keeps his Yorkshire sausage out of the picture.

I was only looking at that picture a couple of weeks ago, also gotta love the picture of Hoddle in the Elizabethan Tandoori [emoji23]

Btw I did a head and shoulders of Beefy as my main piece in the Design Ceramics O Level at Fawcett, got a grade C [emoji122][emoji122]

He’s a very Johnson choice in that he’s unsuitable, unqualified and tactless in a sector it pays to be very, very diplomatic. Obviously he’ll appeal to some l. However, for those that care about the future of this country and our international standing, it’s a gravely poor choice.

No one has looked in to Beefy credentials for this role

He is a fine-wine drinker so Jacob's Creak, Yellow Tail and Hardy's will need to sort their $hit out or risk losing UK market share - commodities by 'eck
He is mates with Lamb too ....

He fits the BoJo mould perfectly. I couldn't give a **** about Aus trade, there's notthing there worth trapsing that far.

This on the day there has been a serious proposal to use prisoners to try to plug the 14,000 vacancies in the meat processing industry, it's like there's a war on !

Dig for Victory next, as we will have to grow our own as now there is no one to harvest or pack and distribute the crops !

Genuine question seeks genuine answer:

Are you not concerned that such an irrelevant, unqualified figure has been given this sort of role?
