Boris (Trump's mini me) will preside over the unwrapping of Great Britain. [View all]

He will brexit from Europe. Hard. He wants all the perks but none of the people of color. He will not get the perks.

Scotland will brexit from UK next and probably join the EU.

Ireland - will there be a hard border? That could lead to renewed unrest.

Canada? will have to renegotiate most of their trade agreements.

Boris won by offering 'clarity' on the Brexit issues. I think that was more Russian propaganda.

So, conservatives, congratulations are in order. Be careful what you wish for. Oh what a tangled web we weave...
