Making headlines for all the wrong reasons
When the cameras roll, politicians turn into walking blooper reels. They trip over their words, fumble through half-baked policies, and somehow think the spotlight makes them look smarter. Instead, it just exposes every awkward moment. And when it’s all over, they grin and say, "We’re doing our best"—as if we didn’t just witness the chaos firsthand.
Boris Johnson stuck on a zip line
- Wednesday, 01 August 2012
In a memorable mishap on August 1, 2012, Boris Johnson got stuck mid-air on a zip line while celebrating Team GB’s Olympic success at Victoria Park during the London 2012 Olympics. Waving two Union Jack flags, he lost momentum and was left dangling above a crowd for several minutes, jokingly asking for a "rope or a ladder" while assuring onlookers it was a "wonderful view." Eventually, officials had to pull him to the end manually, turning the incident into one of his most famous public gaffes, which he later laughed off, saying it was "not his fault" the zip line had stopped.
