Thanks, it’s totally the irony that makes it bearable.
What, EU worry?
We have tumbled into a fascist’s horrible fanfic. It’s like Alice in Wonderland, only Nazier.
Good luck everybody in the UK. I really enjoyed your country when I was stationed there back in the late-80s, in spite of Thatcher.
Here’s hoping we all find a way though what this timeline has in store for us.
No deal (something that was never even a thought in the referendum campaign) has been seized on by some ultra-brexiteers (mostly millionaires looking for loose tax avoidance laws) as the most brexity brexit - and as the Tories majority is so small (and they have many pro-EU MPs) these Ultras have blocked the deal (which is a compromise position for transition - not a final trade deal) being passed by Parliament.
Now things are looking different - and the numbers are not in Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson’s favour. Parliament is sovereign remember.

Trump has a short memory.

Boris Johnson says Donald Trump’s remarks betray a ‘stupefying ignorance’ that make him unfit for the office of President.
I mean, you’re not wrong, but I get the feeling that facts really don’t matter any more.
“Seventy Two Virgins”? Sounds a bit Muslim-y for Boris…
It’s provocative, like when someone asks you a question, but instead of answering with words, you just fart and giggle at yourself.
It isn’t funny, but it is ironic. It doesn’t rise to the level of “our country was completely ruined after we let fascists take power in 1933, so let’s give an extreme-right party 12% of parliament in 2017” irony, but it’s still ironic.
So that’s “provocative” as in “point of argument” not “arousing”, right?
I’m more questioning him than you, clearly.
Whatever he thought he was doing…well…he did less than that.
The irony is that this isn’t football, even after all the analogies, and that you’re not supposed to change ends and say “OK, this time we’ll be the fascists!”
Kinda fitting. I think I have a nick name for him now.
Also the record of shortest term as british primeminister is held by George Canning, who was prime minister from April 12th 1827 to August 8th 1827, for 119 days. I honestly believe Bloody Stupid Johnson can beat that!
I want out, but I’m stuck here. No country wants a disabled person who can barely look after themself, who is on welfare because they are unemployable.
My only hope is Scotland declaring independence. I don’t want to move North but if it helps me stay alive then I’ll do it.
