Please stop appropriating my ancestral Irish culture and call them by their truly translated names!

Look at this guy. Your new PM? Think he can deliver Brexit?

That is a face whose sheer Britishness is perhaps best described as metastasized.

Someone who looks like Eddie Redmayne fucked Willem Dafoe in a Wallace and Gromit cartoon.

You know the worst thing about this is that for the 48% of the EU Referendum voters who want to stay in Europe this guy is probably the only sensible option. He's supposedly one of only two in the leadership race with any brains. The other being Michael Gove but he applies his brain solely in the pursuit of evil.

Rory Stewart lived and worked in Afghanistan so he's got more balls than the rest of them on the ballot put together.

[Tiste Simeon]

I'm hesitant about any of them but him and *possibly* Sajid Javid seem to be the most palatable...

Wow it's been ages since i've LOL'd and VIMM'd at the same time.

Sajid Javid? Aargh dear gods no.

[Tiste Simeon]

I mean that's my response to all of them because none of them are good people. However the thought of all the Tory/UKIP flip-floppers trying to work with an Asian PM entertains me.

[Gorefest]

Javid is worse than some UKIPpers or even BNPers. Vile odious man.

[Illuyankas]

Please remember to look at Rory Stewart's voting record or Sajid Javid's horrendous decisions as Home Secretary before making any rash decisions like viewing a Tory positively

The least worst option is our immediate nuclear destruction, or Gove's dark gods descending upon the Earth to flay and flense the flesh from friend and foe

Gove is a Slaaneshi?

[Illuyankas]

Oh no, more classical Deep One - Gove famously does not fuck, as per his own wife's newpaper columns.

Charlie Stross is having entirely too much fun with this on twitter, albeit rage fun.

[Mezla PigDog]

I wish they would cut to the chase and just agree it's Prime Minister Johnson already. If we're going down the pan let's get on with it.

[Illuyankas]

They're trying to hold out long enough for Johnson to fuck up so they can sneak whoever can appear most human out of Gove and Hunt in

[Gorefest]

Gods, this country is f***d.

After listening to radio 4 for an hour, I'm completely at a loss. The people I didn't vote in are choosing a new leader, from a choice of two proper c***s who are both determined to implement a country ruining policy I also didn't vote for.

All through the coverage, all I hear is the 'Brexit the people want' and 'what the country wants'. Then interviews with leavers about their opinions on the new leader.

Not one single solitary mention or acknowledgement of the half of the country who don't want any of this. It's just utter bollocks, all of it.

[Maark Abbott]

Hard (veering to far) Right populism.

Try and tell a Breklet that things are going the way of 1920s/30s Germany though and they just laugh, because they're too fucking stupid to see it.

[Mezla PigDog]

They don't care about talking to you (us). They are talking to the people who voted for The Brexit Party in the EU Elections.The detached part of my brain is looking forward to seeing how things are going pan out. Two Tories spoiled their ballots which means they can't stomach either Johnson, Gove or Hunt. There must be more. So when Johnson wins how many will decide to ignore their principles for the sake of Tories remaining in power, or what they think will keep them in power or will they break away? Johnson may even dial down his Brexit rhetoric when he is PM. He has form on flip-flopping, I don't think he actually has any personal convictions other than the ascendance of Boris Johnson. I think he's one of few politicians who might carry off a Brexit U-Turn assuming he has the populist vote. The 1922 committee don't have the numbers to force anything inside the Party and their stance doesn't have popular support nationally to be a sensible audience to pander to long term.

I think Johnson is just an opportunist who used Brexit to get to the top. What he will do up there will be intriguing. And potentially country destroying but we've been teetering on the brink for a while now, the issue needs forcing. I read a letters piece in The Guardian and someone said that Boris Johnson isn't interesting in being PM. He is only interested in having been the PM and how much he can rake in afterwards. Spot on.


I have just read what I have written. I knew the Trump comparison was there but that is even more similar than I had considered before. Prepare for a good few years of Boris, peeps.
