Boris Johnson announces resignation: "When the herd moves, it moves"

This should be interesting.

Better late than never.

When he was having parties during lockdown was when I realized his time as a leader should be over.

Those unwilling to lead by example have no business in a leadership position.

He was there for 1 reason only. Once that was over, he should have known better than to stick around doing a job he wasn't capable of doing.

Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed.
Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists.
Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed.

Completing the escape from the EU started by Theresa May will be what he's remembered for though Labour will always focus on his many shortcomings instead.

The things that tripped him up weren't that difficult to avoid, yet still....

Won't be confident Brexit is "done" until a couple administrations have come and gone.

Yeah, if he could have avoided being a total raging hypocrite of the highest order he probably would have been fine.

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

Paul Joseph Watson tweeted it best…

“Unelected Prime Minister Carrie Johnson finally out of office.”

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

"The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth."

I'm surprised he made it this long, was certain they would have forced him out after all the Lockdowngate BS, you know where all his people were having gatherings and parties literally as British police were breaking up and arresting regular people for doing the same during the Covid lockdowns*

*remember that is PRISON TERMINOLOGY

As were Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. However, for some reason, the media in the UK don't seem to care about that little tidbit. I wonder why?

It was inevitable based on his actions. I'm not up to date on UK politics, but it appears from what I've read he pisses off pretty much everyone and made unforced errors.

Not defending Johnson, but look out that window. Many US elected officials have done the same or worse. Vis a Vis Pelosi with no consequences .

Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.
