1/. Some people just can't take criticism
Did you know that it's illegal to insult a leader in more than a dozen countries

In Britain, Boris Johnson plays up his “loveable buffoon” image as he clowns around on zip wires & in hard hats

@BorisJohnson cultivates his loveable bumbling buffoon image which gives him a Teflon coating
