*Calm down Boris is a brilliant Children’s book by Sam Lloyd and happens to be one of my favorite hand puppet books I have read to children over the years.
“The character is orange, fluffy, hairy, unstable, funny, scary and well let’s just say he loves to kiss a lot.
I have seen similarities in this character with the blond Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson, Boris Johnson for short, Britain’s 77th New Prime Minister.
The orange Boris is not the blonde Boris, famous for his discriminatory remarks against Muslims, comments on women wearing burkas, implying that Barack Obama had an “ancestral dislike” of the British Empire, blaming the obese for being fat and that of their own making, writing that “Orientals” had “larger brains and higher IQ scores” while “blacks are at the other pole have been historical.
He has apologized for most of his comments. Perhaps his rhetoric was part of his plans to pave way for his aspiring desire to be Prime Minister by writing or saying what many would like. There is no doubt that his decision on BREXIT will define his premiership.
