Quite Trumpian ?
Boris Johnson says he is not sure that Ralf Speth, the CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, knows more about car manufacturing than he does.
The former Foreign Secretary and leave advocate says that he's not sure the CEO of Jaguar Land Rover knows more about car manufacturing than he does.
During a Boris Johnson phone-in, Nick Ferrari told the Tory that Ralf Speth said that car plants would close in the event of a no-deal or hard Brexit.
"I would suggest he knows more about car manufacturing than you do," Nick said.
But Boris disagreed, saying: "I'm not certain he does."
The JLR boss has been critical of Brexit, having previously warned that tens of thousands of jobs in the UK are at risk if the UK crashes out of the European Union without a deal.
He has also said that he does not know if his manufacturing plants will be able to function after the 29th March.
Boris said: "I don't agree with that, I think that Brexit can be fantastic, but it depends how you do it."
Some of the comments in the comments section were priceless
You'd get more insight and intelligent comment from a slice of turkey between two bricks, than you would from anything Johnson says.
Boris, shut up you fat gonk, all you do i lie, you even got sacked for lieing to your newspaper. Big bag full of poo.
George Doors with a wig... The man's another lying, cheating, privileged, Eaton scumbag. The man's only in it for himself, he doesn't care about anyone else, just look what he did to his wife. He would say anything to further his own political life. I Really can't understand why he and people like Mogg have got big working class following, when they so blatantly and openly dont give a hoot about them.
Noted MP who only uses chaffeured cars declares he knows the business way better than the CEO of a car manufacturer.

And Boris is serial philanderer too, and a pisshead susceptible to being compromised.

He doesnt know enough about the issues to know what he doesnt know. So he just assumes that his opinions are facts. And yes, thats exactly like Trump.
