As Americans we don't really care what the rest of Not-America does because they have to do whatever we tell them or risk receiving our freedom bullets. However, some foreign policy analysts (nerds with thick glasses, funny accents and babel fish up their butts) are alarmed that the U.K. has named Boris Johnson its new Foreign Minister. Translated into Liberty-Speak, it would be like making someone like Chris Christie the Secretary of State. Or Dead Rob Ford. Or Chris Farley, really, but gross and racist.
We've been obsessively watching the BBC News since a few weeks before Brexit. David Cameron and BoJo have been bestest buddies since Eton. LOL. Maybe Cameron put the Brexit vote up to help his BFF, even if he did take the other side. Now Cameron is out and BoJo is the top "Diplomat" for UK.
Hadn't seen any accusations of that. Would it really have been so hard to actually address the fears that Powell pointed out? Ignoring the British working classes worked great, didn't it? No one can complain they weren't warned, the English league and UKIP were just the most recent symptoms. Its almost as if the Tories knew what was happening..
..and deliberately did things to make the poors more upset so they could be angry at the convenient migrants. We know Boris was lying for his own gain about the Europeans. Maybe Boris IS a genius!
This was in the clickbait. I get lots of it because I am poor so I can't afford to contribute(and because my mean mean wife handles the money so I don't drink it all).
Note the part where there are stricter gun laws to contend with. Huh?
Most importantly note the part where it is for dealing with recent terror attacks. Most of them happen in broad daylight, so it's useless. One happened in a room so packed that you would have to hold it over your head to use it. The guy who shot the cops was taking pot shots so I assume that he was too far away.
Is Boris a cad, a bounder, or just infra dig? I never can keep my upper-class twit categories straight.
All this is the fault of Downton Abbey. I thought that wretched show only appealed to Americans suffering from Georgette Heyer Syndrome. Can it be that Brits also fell for that imperial nostalgia tripe?
I hate to disagree with anything written in this very humorous web site, BUT... Boris Johnson is NOT one of the leaders of the UKIP. He is and always has been a member of the Conservative party. He was that as an MP and as mayor of London. You may want to double-check your facts and correct this, because it doesn't make you look well-informed -- and usually Wonkette is VERY well-informed...
To leave, or not to leave--that is the question:Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to sufferThe slings and arrows of outrageous BrusselsOr to take arms against a sea of EurosAnd by opposing end them. To leave, to split--No more, and by a split to say we endThe heartache, and the thousand natural shocksThat unions are heir to. 'Tis a consummationDevoutly to be wished. To leave, to split--To split --perchance to lose, ay there's the rub,For in that loss of trade what harms may comeWhen we have shuffled off this partnership,Must give us pause. There's the respectThat makes regulation of so long life.For who would bear the whips and scorns of Europe,Th' German’s wrong, the French man's contumelyThe pangs of o’er taxed Scotch, the law's delay,The insolence of Council, and the spurnsThat patient England of th' unworthy takes,When it itself might its quietus makeWith a bare referendum? Who would fardels bear,To grunt and sweat under a rule bound life,But that the dread of something after exit,The undiscovered Fifty, from which ArticleNo nation returns, puzzles the will,And makes us rather bear those ills we haveThan fly to others that we know not of?Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,And thus the native hue of referendumIs sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,And voter results of great pitch and momentWith this regard their currents turn awryAnd lose the name of action. -- Soft you now,The fair Nicola! -- Nymph, in thy orisonsBe old U.K. dismembered.

Method used only for when talking out their arses.
Or bums. I think that's what they call buttocks in Englandville.
Nah. Clearly Johnny should be spokesman for the Treasury.

You're 50% there...
she kinda did it with Gordon Brown...but he wanted to dissolve Parliament.
"Translated into Liberty-Speak, it would be like making someone like Chris Christie the Secretary of State. Or Dead Rob Ford."
Or appointing someone like John R. Bolton as ambassador to the UN. Oh wait.
BDS is a haven for lefty Semites. FIFY.
This is the usual hysterical propaganda spewed by people who claim that criticizing Israel is anti-Semitic. It's a shameful lie.
Israel is a nation; it does not get a free pass to build Berlin Walls and persecute minorities. Not any more.
That makes no sense. Also, can't people turn down the appointments?

Do people actually fall for that shit?
