Boris says he “feels like OJ Simpson” as he struggles with latex gloves

The former NFL running back struggled to put on a glove whilst on trial for the stabbings of his ex-wife and her friend.

Boris Johnson added to his long list of distasteful comments today as he visited a mass vaccination centre in Cwmbran, south Wales.

NHS staff working in the gym hall have been administering jabs to thousands of people a day in one of the most successful vaccination regions in the country.

They have contributed to the UK hitting its target of offering a first dose to the four groups of people determined to be the most vulnerable by mid February, which was achieved at the weekend.

But not one to let good progress get in the way of distasteful remark, Johnson uttered that he felt “like OJ Simpson” while struggling with a pair of rubber gloves today.

The remark was made in reference to the former NFL running back who struggled to put on a glove while he was on trial for the stabbings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, in 1994.

It led his defense lawyer, the late Johnnie Cochran, coming up with the iconic line, “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit”.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
