·Pie saw this coming. Like the former Carnival Barker-in-Chief, yet another blowbag leader gets his comeuppance. Summed up brilliantly in the funniest 71/2 minutes you’ll enjoy today. @TimeODanaos, I suspect you’ll love this.

·I was just kidding about the hair I’ll leave British politics to the British I do love watching the old clips of Jack Johnson. In the 15th round he was still moving like it was the 2nd
He out muscled him in the clinches which was where Jeffries supposedly excelled.
But l'il Arthur's technique was on another level and he nearly took Jeffrey's head off with his uppercuts.

That good old British self-restraint must be amazingly powerful to hold all this back 99% of the time. Can't wait to watch his others now - thank goodness the weekend beckons. ☕ No need to write any more on this thread, it's clearly all out there already!

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectornot really, just another British Tory PM 😁
(1) the Hon. Edward Sebastian Grigg, the heir to Baron Altrincham of Tormarton and current chairman of Credit Suisse (UK)
(2) David Cameron
(3) Ralph Perry Robinson, a former child actor, designer, furniture-maker
(4) Ewen Fergusson, son of the British ambassador to France, Sir Ewen Fergusson and now at City law firm Herbert Smith
(5) Matthew Benson, the heir to the Earldom of Wemyss and March
(6) Sebastian James, the son of Lord Northbourne, a major landowner in Kent
(7) Jonathan Ford, the-then president of the club, a banker with Morgan Grenfell
(8) Boris Johnson, the-then president of the Oxford Union
9) Harry Eastwood, the investment fund consultant
Funny as I have seen the likes of these guys over the years when I was a young fella in England in the early 90s. Rich, intelligent, well schooled, nice cars, well dressed and spoken.
No match for a high school educated, young fit rugby player with an Australian accent…..😁😁😁

·But back on topic
I’d like to remember Bozo like this….
-and he couldn’t even pull his f’kin socks up when he was a member of an elitist dining club - oh, how we should all have seen that as a portent of things to come.
If his trousers were long enough, we wouldn't be able to see that his socks are too short...

·As someone who did not and would not vote for the party that is in power, I am rather happy to see them imploding - however that happiness doesn't make up for the damage they've done to the country in the last 10 years.
I also don't think that the people I do vote for are currently capable of winning a general election.
So, at this stage, I would like to suggest that all politicians are removed from all offices (irrespective of party) and replaced with dogs on one side, and cats on the other - their behaviour would be considerably better, and I suspect more good would be done, and considerably less harm. Also dogs and cats in suits would be adorable.

Well, you started your post so well ……
But I certainly agree with your opening paragraph 😉

I base the second statement not on whether I think they would do a good job if they were in power, it rather on their chances with the British public.
In 2016 from the echo chamber I was in, I couldn’t see why any sane person would vote to leave the EU, and therefore believed it could not happen.
However it did. And irrespective of my views of those who sold the lies or voted because they either believed them or wanted them to be true, that’s the way a large group of people voted.
I sadly, get the impression that given the option to vote for more of the lies and bullshit of the last 10 years, the majority of voters (not the entire British public, but those that bother to vote, and yes I accept that the lines have been redrawn to favour the people who will vote Tory) would tick the box and bring the muppets back.
Therefore, I propose the parliament of cats and dogs. And nominate Nadine and Boris to pick up the poop and clean the litter trays.

·Looks like big changes ahead for Boris Johnson and UK politics. Depending on what your politics are it is either a very good thing or a disaster. The times they are a changing ( can only be for the better ).
Not sure things can only get better just yet. This is our newly promoted Education Minister giving the finger to booing public. A marvellous example for the children of this country.
