Boris Bails Over Brexit



The resignation today of Britain's Foreign Secretary, the loony Trump doppelgänger Boris "Batty Boris" Johnson was the latest event in a conservative government that appears to be on shaky ground over their Brexit policies, which are akin to Very Stable Genius Donald "Rump" Trump's reactionary "America First" policies. A nativist hardliner, Johnson objected to Prime Minister Theresa May's plan to soften some rules that Britain would operate under as they proceed to withdraw from the European Union (i.e, "soft Brexit"). Johnson is the third Cabinet minister to resign in just days, and a week before Rump arrives there to do Putin's bidding hold discussions with PM May.

Interestingly, Johnson and the Brexit movement were apparently also helped by the thugs in Moscow to secure the referendum vote that approved Britain's exit from the EU. Cambridge Analytica whistleblower Christopher Wylie alleges that his former company used the same techniques during the Brexit campaign as they used in the U.S. to forward Moscow's interests in creating false narratives / fake news / data manipulation / voter fraud to undermine Britain and the EU. As the best known voice for Brexit, Johnson was chin deep in the dirty tricks during the referendum vote. As with Rump's "America First" fraud, Brexit is a fringe policy that, if executed, will make Britain poorer and Russia stronger, which seems to be the common theme between Trumpists and their counterparts in Britain and Europe.

BONUS: Like the clownish reality host showman in the Oval Office, Boris is no slouch when it comes to foolish behavior. Cockatoos of a feather collude together.
