New Prime Minister Boris Johnson

Does FF know that she is gay?

Are we sure Rachel is a she? Rachel might be a he, in which case he would be straight.

She's a lesbian - I very seldom see her gay. She's usually moping quite a bit, and often on the verge of tears.

I admire her professionalism. She is prone to a fraction more excitability than I think is becoming in a journalist of her stature but she is reliably on the side of the angels. With joy in my heart, I commend her and all her works to you without reservation.

She's a nice looking lady who appears, at times, to be on crack. "Prone to a fraction more excitability" is like saying Trump is "prone to stray from the truth just a smidge on occasion".

New Prime Minister Boris Johnson anoints himself ‘The Dude’ to ‘deliver Brexit, unite the country, defeat Corbyn and energise’ as he thumps Hunt

What does this mean for Brexit, for the UK, and for the world?

He'll get us out of the EU but he can be quite reckless at times. I can envision him going to Brussels telling the negotiators we are leaving while giving them obscene finger gestures and then walk out. Trump is a negotiator, he may have a big mouth on him but he knows how to negotiate. I don't see this trait in Boris, even if he is entertaining at times.

Interesting. Thanks.

“Our mission is to deliver Brexit on the 31st of October for the purpose of uniting and re-energizing our great United Kingdom and making this country the greatest place on earth,” Johnson told parliament in his first speech as prime minister.

He said he was not being hyperbolic as the United Kingdom could be most prosperous economy in Europe by 2050, a feat that would mean drawing far ahead of France and then overtaking Germany."

What have we got:

a) Make Britain Great Again - I'm sure someone's rushing the MBGA hat out right now.

b) Johnson's very confused about world geography - which might explain why he was so abysmally incompetent as Foreign Secretary, he seems to think the Earth is in Europe.

Giving him the Trump treatment, I see.

I always thought Boris was a nut job - something that happened when he was mayor of London (I forget exactly). But the Brits probably think Trump is a nut job. So we are even...

It's a rare politician who cannot be jeered at.

(I steer clear of Donald Trump, he's not my leader to jeer at, you'll have to do your own should you choose to.)

Well, yes, but I prefer the jeering to at least be on point; yours requires that "greatest place on earth" be synonymous with "most prosperous economy on earth".

Like you re Trump, I have no dog in this fight.

[Rushing Jaws]

As though we hadn't embarrassed ourselves enough over the last 3 years. Thanks Tory Members for this.

But not them alone.

[demi-conservative]

So, expound a bit, please.

UK now unProgressive. You understand, is shameful. Embarrassing. Cannot hold heads up with foreign libs!
