Is Boris Johnson as horrible as Donald Trump ?

Boris Johnson could have healed the national rift, but he thought only of himself
February 15, 2018

Dublin, Holland, Belgium and France are already preparing their ports for the tariffs and customs checks that look only too likely, following Johnson’s Downing Street-sanctioned speech announcing the hardest of Brexits."

Boris Johnson appeared to joke about sex tourism in Thailand during a major speech about Brexit.

Johnson said: ”As I have just discovered we have more than a million who go to Thailand every year, where according to our superb consular services they get up to the most eye-popping things."

(The UK cartoon comment about the Parkland Florida high school massacre is chilling. The lockers for school books, transformed into morgue cabinets. The student's feet have tags identifying which students had died from their bullet wounds. Ben Jennings has a sharp eye.)

Boris Johnson's Irish border remarks lampooned

27 February 2018


Visitors were welcomed to 'Free Camden' in a satirical response to Boris Johnson's comments


'The Cabinet clown'

Journalist Joey Millar replaced the word "Derry" with "Camden" in a doctored image of Free Derry Corner, an Irish nationalist mural which dates back to the outbreak of the Troubles in 1969.

The satirical group, Loyalists Against Democracy (LAD), posted a tongue-in-check caption onto an archive photograph of an Irish border checkpoint.

Westminster soldiers are stopped by guards after a young woman makes it safely across the border into Camden, 1949



The criticism was not confined to social media.

In the House of Commons, Labour's Stella Creasy confused Chancellor Philip Hammond by asking him to set out the benefits of the government's plans for an apparent "customs union between Camden, Islington and Westminster".

Mr Hammond replied: "I'm sure when I go home and reflect on it, the deep meaning of that question will become clear to me", provoking other MPs to shout "Boris" across the chamber.

Boris Isn't Horrible At All...

He's just a ridiculous buffoon who should never have been a politician,
but doesn't know how to do anything else (or how to do that, for that matter ;))
