With each passing day, the UK is looking more and more shambolic. Seems like in some sort of reverse Oedipal Complex, they can’t stop imitating their mutant offspring, the US.

If they elect Boris, who will be Moose and Squirrel?

Dear reality. Fuck the fuck off. Take this freakshow and VANISH. I’ll take that other timeline, the one without twitter and facebook. The one where I read books instead of webpages. The one where elite right wing populists are eaten by the press instead of indulging in the press themselves.
With that person in charge of the UK, a war in Europe (other than the Bosian war, e.g.) gets more possible. Mark my words and colour me surprised if this caricature of a politician doesn’t try to destabilise the EU and likely succeeds.
I HATE this timeline.

Its amazing that after years of Conservative dysfunction and political death-agony they will still be ushered into Government at the next election by the Murdoch media cthulhu.

Fully consistent with the current trend of Global Worsening.

The mere thought of Boris even being a contender really bums me out.

Dammit Britain, do you want the closest British equivalent of trump? Because if you do, then Boris is your man. and/or where’s the Baby Boris Balloon!? -sigh-

Oh, Nigel, what a naughty boy you are, trapping the UK in between a turd and a shitstorm – do we elect Boris, or upend things and have a general election, in which the Brexit party will almost definitely come out on top?

Boris is intelligent though. This makes him more dangerous.

The good news is that modifying the Trump balloon to make it a Boris balloon should be pretty trivial. Of course, that is all the good news to be found here. Yup, that’s it. Other than that you are doomed, as are we all if this trend gets much further.

On behalf of us all, no offense taken, and yes. Yes it has gone entirely fucking mental. Full tilt boogie 'we want to be a banana (well, turnip probably) republic.

Oh, I knew they were monstrously evil on the level of the GOP here in the US, but I didn’t think they were out of their mind.
