Full hard brexit. But at least its red white and blue.

Brexit is like the definition of "Leopards At My Face", so many people are enjoying the schadenfreude of it all.

Lots of Brexiteers really thought they were important enough to the EU that the UK could leave while keeping all the benefits of being a member, without any of those pesky negatives like "immigration".

A bunch of Anti-vaxxers decided to storm the Television Centre in London, because of the BBC's pro-vaccine propaganda and the Main Stream media being themselves the biggest virus infecting the minds of people.

...too bad the BBC moved out of the Television Centre back in 2013, hey?

Boris Johnson earlier: "We should never forget we are the party of low taxation."

Also Boris: Imma raise taxes on National Insurance even though not doing that was one of the pledges we made before the last election.

Say what you will about america and the republicans but at least even when they win elections, it’s not because people actually voted for them. Wtf UK.

Holy shit you poor UK souls, is the amount of shit you're out of because of Brexit being bandied about online true?

How are you not tearing politicians apart via horses and rope (if the country isn't out of horses and rope respectively)?

It's not the fault of Brexit! It's the fault of Covid! The whole world is out of... Bananas, and cream, and meat, and aspirin, and whatever!

Heh. I saw that exact image as a graphic on reddit, I wonder if the paper got permission to reproduce it, or just appropriated it.

Anyone remember that episode of Doctor Who where Ten brings down Harriet Jones as Prime Minister by asking "Don't you think she looks tired?" After a bizarre, rambling (even for him) speech where he went off on a tangent about Peppa Pig World a reporter asked Boris "Is everything OK?"

Since we are highly unlikely to end up with the actual Master as his replacement I am hopeful about what this could mean for British politics. Or I think I am anyway. I don't actually remember what it feels like to be hopeful about politics.

I think I've said this before here but you can argue that trump is one of our more democratic presidents bc he accurately represented the people who voted for him

Oh, he's capable. Plenty of people have spoken about seeing him purposefully mess up his hair right before going in front of TV cameras. The hair is a deliberate stylistic choice, and worse, one that worked.

My Boris Johnson story

With four minutes to go, Boris Johnson ran in. I was already concerned – maybe more concerned than Boris. It was an awards ceremony at the Hilton, Park Lane. The room was packed with financial people in bow ties. It was a couple of years before Johnson became Mayor of London. At this point he

This is possibly the greatest insight into Boris Johnson I have ever read.

He represents those people. I am very empathetic and I can think like other people. Most people are a sewer

"He tells it like it is."

These people look at Boris and for some reason see his baboonery as honesty, rather then just another fake brand he developed over a successful political career. It's the same reason Trump was elected, they saw his lack of filter as honesty, even though nearly everything that came out of his mouth was a deflection or a open lie.

The result of decades of mental abuse at the hands of Old Man Fred. Not excusing it one bit, because he dished it out to others as much as Daddy did to him. even to his own family.
