BORIS Johnson today hailed “genius” Peppa Pig World as “my kind of place” after a visit with his family last weekend – in a bizarre speech to business chiefs.
The PM went off on a huge tangent during his address to the Confederation of British Industry – with a blast at “stereotypical” Daddy Pig.
The PM announced this morning that all new homes, offices and supermarkets will be forced to install electric chargers from next year as part of a green resolution.
And he vowed that as PM he wanted to slash taxes for businesses – but the Government had to wait for the right moment to do so.
But in a strange aside, Boris recalled his recent visit to Peppa Pig World, where he was seen with his son Wilf and wife Carrie enjoying a day out.
He told the country’s top chiefs:
“Yesterday I went, as we all must, to Peppa Pig World,” Johnson told the business executives. “I love it. Peppa Pig World is very much my kind of place: it has very safe streets, discipline in schools.”
“Who would have believed that a pig that looks like a hairdryer or possibly a Picasso-like hairdryer, a pig that was rejected by the BBC, would now be exported to 180 countries with theme parks both in America and China?”
