...Mr Johnson was the most high-profile Brexiteer to join her team and news of his appointment was trending with a mixture of hilarity and despair on Twitter last night.

He will represent the UK on the world stage despite having once smeared US President Barack Obama for having part-Kenyan heritage and referred to black people as “piccaninnies” with “watermelon smiles”.

Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron tweeted: “Theresa May’s reputation for competence lasted a few hours. @BorisJohnson will spend more time apologising to nations he’s offended.”

"What a relief it must be for Blair to get out of England. It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies,"

The opposite is true. The press and the Left are mad because he slightly resembles Trump but he will be good for Britain.

Marching orders. Boris Johnson is on record mocking Hillary as a "sadistic mental hospital nurse." Media's got to cover that up, so they mock him as nuts. Same old "nuts and sluts" defense from Arkansas.

I would think they’d be more of a laughing stock because of Theresa May...

Looks like Britain’s and the EU politics are just as much in flux as ours here in the USA.

Great Britain did the right thing. I sure hope our electorate does too and puts Trump in the position to help get this ship righted.

I also hope Ryan and McCain are primaried with good conservatives replacing their RINO butts. That goes for any RINO up for re-election this year.

After 8 years of a post turtle being in charge and setting race relations back 50 years and bringing in all the wrong type immigrants; we need a drastic change to correct this mess. The slowest recovery since the Great Depression needs a pro-business person in charge who understands we can’t keep letting illegals flood our towns and cities to take away desperately needed jobs for American workers.

One benefit of re-establishing national sovereignty is that you get the last laugh.

I’m laughing that you’re laughing :)

It is funny but having the ####s to say it’s funny is pretty cool on your part!

He sounds like a great pick. Should get along fabulously with Trump.

Maybe the two of them can finally banish Politically Correctness to the garbage heap of history where it rightly belongs.

Fear the hair!

Isn’t the mirror a totally leftist rag?

I imagine they were for “staying”, right?

Why is stating the truth somehow an embarrassment?

Yes, sometimes truth is ugly, painful, and *inconvenient*, but it’s still far better than living a lie, isn’t it?
