I think that, along with easy german, you run a language learning channel that is not boring at all and the fact that you are doing interviews on very interesting and debatable topics is totally applaudable! Keep on! 👏👏👏

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Thanks so much or this nice compliment! Myself and Isi have some fun ideas in the works once things free up in the UK 🤓

[@anjawright6189]

Love the fact that I'm learning new British expressions (living in the States, worse luck) such as shambolic and (from last week) lairy!

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

You’ll be a fluent, colloquial Brit in no time with us 🙏🏻

[@kc8923]

Very articulate descriptions of Boris Johnson. Good that the presenter makes clear that these are the views of people in Brighton, a liberal progressive part of England.

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Thanks KC! I'm glad that you noticed we were trying to be impartial.

[@kc8923]

@@EasyEnglishVideos Very hard to do in these times in face of people like Johnson and Farage etc!!!

[@manorueda1432]

Unfortunately, we have had many quite disastrous representatives also here in Spain, and I am already used to hearing opinions like these... Great video!

As Italian, I think about our Mr Silvio Berlusconi....🤐🤐🙄🙄 As Italian, I didn't feel represented from him, abroad, and I think the people you've interviewed feel the same 😅 Anyway, always nice arguments to hear, thanks👍👍

[@martynaw8181]

And I think about the Polish government…. It’s terrible, i mean EVERYTHING about our government is terrible

[@davidemarsilio552]

Marika Serasini, me too as a Italian I dislike Berlusconi but to be hones it's better Boris Johnson and the Uk government than that italian. In Uk the people is much more free than italian people thanks to Boris and Uk government's role played in preventing the Covid 19 spreading and coming back to a more normal life. In Italy it's the complete opposite because of government's hateful limitations of our freedom. It's better Boris than Berlusconi and fast all italian politicals.

[@marikaserasini2315]

@@davidemarsilio552 I agree with you, most of all about the decisions the Italian government took to deal with the situation Cvd 19... No words...

[@vanmantalks]

Getting a pro Tory opinion is going to be tricky in Brighton, which is why i love living in Brighton.

[@Gonzol7]

Though complaining, I'm impressed by how everyone kept their dignity. Complaining talk, but not rude talk. And "sociopath"! That's so strong. But there's something to it. Thank you, EE!

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Thanks DJJG 🙌 We’re happy you enjoyed the episode 🥳

[@HowAboutNoSir]

I love that when being asked whether there’s anything positive about BoJo’s administration, anything at all, everyone was like “uhm absolutely not” 😂

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

I know 🙈 can't say I didn't try 😂

[@fernandomilicich8160]

It is incredible that Great Britain has as Prime Minister like this kind a man

[@youcefnacer5804]

Keep going folks !!

Thanks for your support Youcef 🙌🙌

[@davidemarsilio552]

As a Italian I see Boris Johnson very better than italian government. That's why you in Uk are coming back in a more normal post-covid 19 life than us in Italy where the limitations due to Covid 19 are so hard yet. Very beautiful episode.

The "disclaimer" is very professional. 👏

Boris Johnson is our countryman from Çankırı, Turkey

[@jaimillo20]

As a stranger who watch the news around the world, I think Boris shouldn't have removed the use of masks in public areas or home office who wants to be save at home.

[@andrewelphick2304]

Brighton is the leftest leaning district in the south east of England. Not a criticism, just observation. Though the “chancer” criticism is well founded.

[@bmaruf085]

The lady in white hat speaks so interestingly, could you, please, explain some phrases/idioms she used? e.g. she says "I've got them all ... " in 1:54, she uses the "whether or not" phrase at the end of her sentence in 8:08 (I couldn't understand the meaning there), and she uses the word "fogeys" in 9:12, and finally she says "He had his days with me..." in 9:52. What do these phrases/words/idioms mean?

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Great questions! 1. I’m not too sure what she meant. I feel she might mean; “I know what they’re all like” 2. It’s short for “whether I agree/believe/think, or do not agree/believe/think” 3. fogeys is a synonym for old fashioned or conservative person 4. “Had his day” would mean “his time is over, in my opinion” If you’d like more of these explanations for this video and our older videos, it’s all covered in the perks of our Patreon membership: patreon.com/easyenglishvideos

[@jaskatpon1]

Where in England can we find popular support for BoJo?

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

It's probably quite dated now, but you can see interactive maps of areas that voted Conservative. Further, I beleive that Uxbridge and South Ruislip is still a conservative led constituency, who's local MP is BoJo

[@animalrevenge1058]

Wise people here!

[@franciscojavierleal4268]

Interesting!! Great job Mitch . I prefer to save my opinion because our politicians are not the best exemple!! Since many years, I don't trust politicians, sorry!!

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Thanks Francisco 🙌 Sorry to hear of your situation. Thanks for your support 😁

[@dhruva8106]

Wow Brighton seems like a nice place! I like how PM and his persona is a like a sort of metonym for all the policy and governance of the party in power. Also quite true in India.

[@islamadam8502]

Thanks for the video 👍 A question: Is "BoJo" the normal nickname of the PM or is it a negative one? I'm asking because it sounds to me like the word "Bozo".

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Hahaha I think that’s just a coincidence… I’m not too sure who coined the phrase BoJo, but I remember it being used before he became prime minister, possibly in his mayor of London days? Either way, it’s used by his peers and colleagues and not meant negatively. There’s a Wikipedia page of PM nicknames - did you know Winston Churchill was known as ‘Winnie’?

[@islamadam8502]

@@EasyEnglishVideos I didn't know that. Here in Egypt we give nicknames to politicians always in the negative sense 😀

[@roycenord9659]

I like this channel very much and I watch every single video to learn new expression or word. I think they should get rid of him, he is looking like a clown. Even I'm not fan of conservative side but I think Geoffrey Cox would be a good leader for UK because I think he has a charismatic appearance and also his rhetoric is good.

[@mariannereuter]

Oh, that's an interesting subject! I was in fact wondering what Brits think about their PM. For me as a German it's unthinkable that our political leaders would have a party while their people are in lockdown. And then the story about the booze in the suitcase ... 🤦I can see why people would want him to leave. To me he was unbearable from the start because of brexit. I never quite understood why anyone would leave the EU. We should focus on what unites us, not what divides us ...

[@klimtkahlo]

100% agree with you! That is why Wales and Scotland should part ways from England so they can rejoin the E.U. I say on the merits of their lovely accent they just get immediate admission!

[@JacobTrueman]

@@klimtkahlo A lot of us in England weren’t happy about Brexit too. You’re generalising.

[@sachamnc17]

Nothing unites us. And Germany is part of the few countries that really has an interest in staying in the EU.

[@geemo4284]

He’s a nasty piece of work. He was the main momentum behind the decision to have a referendum on the EU and he lied, continuously to the British public about what Brexit meant. He’s not delivered on anything he promised, and the country is in a complete mess. As you probably realise, almost half of the country voted to stay in the EU, and if you counted all the young people who could vote now, but couldn’t back then, you would probably find that the majority didn’t want to leave. Many of us are still devastated.

[@klimtkahlo]

Always interesting! Without knowing much he seems to me like the younger brother of Donald Trump, same lying compulsion…

[@esmith712]

WOW! What an interesting video!! It makes me realize how much more I need to learn: chancer, Billy Bunter, full stop, green party... Are we all suffering under unethical, egotistical old white men with horrible hair (I'm taking to you Boris & Trump)?

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Excellent interviews. .thanks for the all innocent opinions of the brighton Citizens. ..maybe one day same sincerre opinions in France. .maybe...for the moment only immigration and the muslims out words take the top of the pops just before the elections time. ..big shame...
