Spoken like a true Yank (with a bad accent)!

This is the English actor and comedian portraying his fictional creation Jonathan Pie.

It was inevitable I am afraid. Too many things accumulating against him

Don’t be ‘afraid’, he is the author of his own misfortune and has only himself to blame.

Because we have ‘first past the post’ rather than PR the Conservative party got many more seats despite polling less than 50% of the votes and Johnson was chosen as leader by approximately 200,000 paid up Conservative party members given the option of two candidates.

Everyone knew his character traits and limitations and the present outcome was entirely predictable

And we’re paying a heavy price for Brexit - and not just in duty on imported watches 😉

I know. I love his interviews. On par with Randy Rainbow's vids. I may be a rude Yank but don't call me parochial. 😉

The no politics thing is mainly US politics, UK threads don’t tend to get that heated as the British don’t tend to take any of it that personally or get emotional about it.
Oh you haven’t been on many British boxing threads damn they go all out it’s quite interesting. I just liked Johnson because he had a cool haircut

I hope things work out for the British population. I turned apolitical when I got egged sitting in church by some girls dressed in handmaidens tales outfits. I guess they blamed us for the Supreme Court decision. I had to go and watch some handmaidens takes episodes on Hulu as I was unfamiliar with it. I stayed and helped clean up the mess but I just don’t get the whole political scene I wish who ever is in office well and if they don’t do well just vote or stay quiet it seems religion is a safer topic these days. Well maybe not considering I got egged in church.

What’s this watch worth?

Shipping included? With or without Duty? DHL or FedEx or Postal? USD or crypto? Face to face or escrow? Take trades?

I’ve sent my old omega seamaster Nimitz to Geneva for repair and it won’t be back with me for 30 weeks! So Boris had to go.

You too can have that by sticking your head in a weed whip and finishing with a leaf blower.

Probably say that about most politicians...and not even wait until they're dead. I'd say let's start with the Marxist and work are way down from there.

Look on the bright side, at least you didn't wind up with Jeremy Corbyn.

The government that governs least, governs best. It is amazing how little effect politicians have on our lives...but when they do have an effect, they really screw it up.
