https://newsthump.com/2019/07/30/what-a-beautiful-language-says-boris-johnson-as-welsh-people-loudly-tell-him-to-fck-off/Boris Johnson is visiting Wales today meaning a raft of exciting new insults will be hurled in his direction.
The new Prime Minister knew that realising his ambition and making it to Downing Street would always have a few drawbacks. One of them was visiting places like Wales.
I was hoping I could do this by Skype, said Boris. But the farms Im visiting dont have the bloody Internet. Thats not even a joke.
I dont know how these farmers cope with no access to PornHub and only sheep for company.
I mean, us Bullingdon boys were always more about the pigs.
Boris will be visiting the farm of one Mr Simon Williams.
Ill be teaching him a few Wales phrases, dont you worry, said Simon.
When I meet him Ill shake his hand, smile warmly and say, Dos i chwara dy Nain [go and finger your granny].
Ill then give him his welcome gift, a t-shirt bearing the words Anws blewog [hairy anus].
After his visit, when hes made all his bullshit promises and is saying goodbye Ill wave and tell him, Mynd i ffwcio chi eich hun [go and fuck yourself].
Welsh farmers receive £300m a year from the EU. A no-deal Brexit would mean the Government wont be able to afford to replace those lost subsidies.
Boris just doesnt seem to care, the cont gwirion [you can probably work that one out].
Its not Johnsons first visit to Wales he attempted to become an MP there in 1997.
He was never going to win Clwyd South but his campaign slogan probably didnt help: Good God, do people actually live here?

Wales media barred from asking Boris Johnson questions on camera
...
Journalists from ITV, BBC Wales, Heart Wales and the South Wales Argus complained that they were only allowed to ask questions without recording the answers for TV or radio.
They were also cooped up in a tin shed and not allowed to accompany the Prime Minister on a tour of a farm in St Brides Wentlooge near Newport.
....
On Boris Johnsons first visit to Wales as PM, BBC Wales News and ITV Wales are refused the opportunity to ask him a single question on camera, BBC journalist Felicity Evans said.
ITV Wales political editor Adrian Masters said that he had refused to ask Boris Johnson a question because he was not allowed to film the exchange.

2/12 We (@ITVWales) were invited along with @BBCWalesNews @WalesOnline and other Welsh media to cover the event.
3/12 As usual theres a pool arrangement whereby a UK network camera filmed the visit and a UK network journalist asked pool questions to be shared by everyone. In this case it fell to colleagues from @itvnews. So far so usual.
4/12 We as Welsh media were invited to ask questions as part of a huddle but on arrival it turned out we wouldnt be allowed to film it.
