Ricky Gervais pulled no punches in this NSFW takedown of the government
After two years of seeming to have the Midas touch with voter satisfaction ratings, Boris Johnson is seeing his public approval driven down by an avalanche of damning corruption and rule-breaking accusations.
Looks like Boris Johnson's approval ratings are now in freefall. pic.twitter.com/1YEpHhMxdT

if you can spare a thought this Christmas for poor Boris Johnson in Downing St fuming at the terrible poll ratings surrounded by horrendous gold wallpaper which he knows will be the end of him its a really funny thought 👍🎄

I'm deepy touched to see 'Thanks Boris' trending! I had no idea how much people appreciated my lies, corruption, incompetence or the hypocrisy of partying during lockdown while other people died alone.

Award-winning comedian, writer and actor Ricky Gervais recently went live for around half an hour, answering questions from fans on such topics as his TV viewing, Christmas gifts and elements of his life that bring him joy.
He also had this devastating assessment of the UK government, which includes NSFW language from the outset.
What an absolute legend.
Wise words from @rickygervais! 👏🏻 pic.twitter.com/zbGpZH2Atk— Daniel (@Clark1995Clark) December 22, 2021
When are we going to stop taking ‘Went to Eton’ as a qualification to run the country?
His comments landed perfectly for a lot of people – including these.
I cannot get enough…

Thank you @rickygervais – not just for calling out the FCs for what they are but for your wise words ‘when are we going to stop seeing the words “went to Eton” as qualification to run the country?’ Eton should be in special measures and Johnson in Wormwood Scrubs https://t.co/1Krz9VmaCG

Gervais is right to pick up on the irony of these people who thought they were ‘bashing the Establishment’ and the ‘metropolitan liberal elite’… by given total forelock-tugging power to the most over-entitled and arrogant pillock Eton has ever produced. https://t.co/ihfDNQ7tSr

There was also this suggestion.
Fuck the queens speech off Xmas day and let’s just let Ricky Gervais have a little segment https://t.co/RSkqPnnXVf
