  5. About bloody time

    Part of me is hopeful that his shameful display brings about a government with a bit more integrity and honesty. Part of me knows Boris was a symptom, rather than the cause of a dysfunctional westminster. The only reason he was kicked out was because everyone was starting to look terrible in that government

  15. Spicy! When are the next UK elections supposed to take place? Now the Conservatises will just for a new government, right?

  20. Was Cameron the last PM who actually survived a full election period for the Tories?

    I can’t quite believe how popular that party still is in the UK, but then again I couldn’t believe that the brits would leave the EU.

  23. For all those worried about support to Ukraine, some of the front runners tories like Truss, Javid, Tugendhat, Patel, Wallace and so on are big hawks as well (hanging out with John Bolton and Nikki Haley and so on), so if anything aid to Ukraine might even go higher

  27. After the Brexit, the pedophile monarchist, the Johnson drama and so on. UK truly became the shitshow of Europe. So embarassing. Just merge with your USA master, you got the same level

  30. An interesting point is that there is no obvious successor now either, the leading candidates from 6 months ago, Sunak, Truss, etc, have all lost standing, especially after being so close to Boris, and I wouldn’t like to put odds on any of them anymore.

  33. Unpopular opinion: But I think History will remember Boris well.

    He delivered a strong vaccine rollout in a once-in-a-lifetime unprecedented pandemic and when most of Europe (Germany + France) appeased Putin in his brutal and unjust invasion of Ukraine, Boris was one of the leaders who stood with Ukraine to the full extent.

  37. There is not a single Tory MP that is any better, they are full of scandals that range from secret meetings with foreign governments to putting personal interests first. I don’t know of a single one of them that is actually liked any more than Boris and some who may now become PM are loathed far far more than him.

  39. Boris Johnson looks down at London through his bulletproof window, at Downing Street 10. He sees a beatiful representation of british culture. A restaurant with nothing but fish and chips in the menu. A police officer stopping a man riding a bicycle to check if his bike-riding loicense is stll of legal course. Two men stabbing each other with butter knifes. He had fought for years for this culture, for Britain, and for everything it represented. But they didn’t understand. Just the day before, 6 government officials had resigned. One of them had te nerve to comment that the tea they served in that building was awful. Johnson lets out a sigh. There’s only one sensible option left. He calls for his butler, wich arrives diligently as any butler, especially one serving Boris Johnson himself, should. Boris tells him to please itghdfhdfhyhuedgwwd. Boris had this bad habit of speaking too fast when distressed. It was a tradition for British Prime Ministers to be unintelligible at times after all. The butler kindly asks he if he could speak a bit more slowly, as he can barely understand Johnson, though considering he can barely be understood most of the time. Boris becomes frustrated. “Tell those insufferable wankers from the government that I’m out of here”. Sure, it was somewhat rough lenguage for a Prime Minister, but nobody heard him, except a butler that doesn’t count for anything. And he was soon to stop being the PM anways. The butler, shocked, nods and gets out of the room. Boris let’s another sigh. It was a good run, but nothing ever lasts forever, except maybe Britain’s rainy days. While walking on the hallway, the butler wonders if the new PM will be considerate enough to clean up any tea he might spill on his desk by themselves.
