At least he turned up - more than can be said for Johnson.

Any chance this was all set up?
There was a small group of Remain protesters (they quietened down to allow Bettel to speak) - just before the PC was due to start Johnsonâs people asked to move indoors but there was no suitable venue and, in any case all the comms wiring was set up outside, so he chickened out.
Whether you believe it was a set up or not probably depends on your view of Johnson - his fans will not accept that he is capable of any wrongdoing so, of course, it was all the Luxembourgersâ fault.

Thatâs unfair Paul, what purpose would be served by Johnson standing there and taking abuse just for the sake of it? I canât stand the man but it was obvious the PC was going to be disrupted so you canât really blame him for doing a runner.
Oh yes we can!
He needs to stand up and defend what he believes in if he expects us to believe in him.

Can you imagine Juncker being willing to stand in front of people who are booing and jeering at him and drowning out anything he tried to say?
I thought Bettel spoke well⌠and I heard every word of the video clip on the BBC News. 
Boris was asked about concrete proposals and he waffled on - never a straight answer⌠he has done nothing, nothing but waffle.

Mandy⌠he made it a point to only speak to the Journalist, lest the crowds make things difficult - and then he said absolutely nothing. He really is something unmentionable.

Fair point⌠only I reckon Juncker would have given a decent interview when given the opportunity to do so.
- Boris had just such an opportunity, no heckling etc etc⌠and he wasted it.

well, my take on this is that he had nothing to say (because he lied about having something to say). Nothing concrete written down to discuss with his âEuropean friendsâ as he so likes to describe them.
The guy is just full of wind and piss (probably quite a lot of piss actually following a rather pleasant lunch) and he clearly doesnât like handling objections.
Not unlike Trump who will only âperformâ in front of a hand picked crowd of cronies.
What an embarrassment

The most concrete proposal would be to move to an NI only backstop - the EU have indicated that they would be perfectly OK since that was their original negotiating position anyway, itâs probably the only âdealâ that could be done in the timescale that he suggested.
Could he âsellâ that back to parliament? UmmmâŚ
Well this was nothing more than a cynical stunt to divert attention away from the fact he has nothing with which to negotiate.

Itâs typical Boris though isnât it?
Promise - the madder he gets the stronger he gets:
Delivery - scarpers with tail between his legs following small challenge:
Obligatory pedantry: Itâs âThe Hulkâ, âThe Incredible Hulkâ was the name of the comic.

Surely âThe Incredible Sulkâ will be quoted in the press shortly if not already.
