Boris Johnson resigns as Prime Minister

All I can think about is how great it would be if conservatives in America had their own BS threshold. Instead, someone ten times worse than Johnson may run again.

The fact that the GOP had TWO chances to permanently remove Trump and didn’t? It’s a condemnation of the party itself.

My impression of the situation in the UK was that nobody wanted to be in charge of the -show called Brexit, so it fell to Boris. Glad to see they’ve finally had it with his antics.

British leaders have always had weird nicknames, like "Ethelred the Unready" or "Maggie Ironpants", so this guy shall forever e known as "Half-ass Boris" for his bogus semi-resignation.

It became pretty clear --finally-- even to Boris Johnson that his own ministers and so the government was done with him. Remains to be seen whether his party can manage to get him to leave office before summer's end, but the pressure for an interim solution appears to be growing by the hour already. Maybe the deputy PM is the handiest solution.

I can't remember another time when governments of the UK, USA, much of Latin America and major players in the Middle East were in such flux and in such potential conflict with either their own ministers and/or the people they supposedly serve. These guys must be in cahoots with journalists to keep us glued to the news...

I read someplace that some had started referring to him as Boris Gone-son even before he resigned. And I think it was in the very right wing press which had staunchly supported him until most recently.

Love it.

And this is not just comedy, but is the plain and simple truth; in fact, this is truth disguised as comedy.
