Right now in the UK

[Soph0571]

Positive thoughts please that by the a.m. Boris Johnson is in our rear view mirror. Right now with only 20% support from the Parliamentary Party he is refusing to fuck off. He is going down of course but as his sycophants fight like hell to get into the lifeboats (too little too late) he is trying to fuck everyone over as he sinks. Fighting to the death, but he will have to go.

1. Fingers crossed for best outcome.

3. I heard one of our popular radio hosts say the same thing this morning

They are all going down with him even if they do not know it yet. Too little, too late.

12. I want him to stay

Any other potential leader will be less stupid than Johnson (unless it's Mr Mogg) and a lot less lazy. Which would make them capable of causing much more harm.

They're all alike.

They are just like fucking CoVid19!

17. that is so funny

one of the posters observed that the previous record for the most resignations in 24 hours was set in the 1930s and it was six resignations.

Boris presently has had 26 resignations in 24 hours.

18. I was howling with laughter

So much for Eton and Oxford - what an entitled scumbag.

23. animated graphic of different PM's government resignations

"Who knows where we'll be by the end of the day!"

The answer was: You're gonna need a bigger graph. Now over 50.

If you've had 6 ministerial resignations before breakfast, you're through the looking-glass.
