Brexit: Boris Johnson's father applies for French citizenship

The father of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he is applying for French citizenship now that Britain has severed ties with the European Union.

Stanley Johnson told France's RTL radio he had always seen himself as French as his mother was born in France.

The 80-year-old former Conservative Member of the European Parliament voted Remain in the 2016 Brexit referendum.

His son Boris spearheaded the Leave campaign and later took the UK out of the EU as prime minister.

He can identify French if he likes.

Some years ago, Englishmen left and right were identifying as Scottish.

Now this is 100% false. Johnson didn't even decide which side to come out on until the day of the vote. He was pretty resolute since then.

1 Jan: Breitbart: Bojo Tweets Praise for the Great Reset. Strap in Everyone, 2021 is Going to be a Wild Ride
by James Delingpole
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has dashed hopes that 2021 will be any better than 2020 by tweeting his support of the Great Reset:

Tweet: Boris Johnson 14h ago
Proud that the UK is taking over the 2021 Presidency of the G7 today. Hosting both the G7 Summit and @COP26 (CLIMATE CONFERENCE) will make this a hugely important year for Global Britain and I look forward to welcoming our friends and allies as we beat COVID and ***build back better*** from the pandemic.

‘Build back better’ is, as Johnson is perfectly well aware, the slogan of the World Economic Forum’s deeply sinister Fourth Industrial Revolution — aka ‘the Great Reset‘ – whose aims include the deliberate crashing of the world economy, the crushing and destruction of small businesses, and the creation of a new cash-free society in which no one (save the technocratic elite) owns private property.
Unfortunately for Johnson, people have started wising up to what Build Back Better actually means.
Here are some of the comments which greeted his New Year message...ETC

Johnson has had a similarly unenthusiastic response to a jaunty piece in his old paper the Daily Telegraph in which he claims that this year is going to be one of ‘change and hope’ [hmm. Sounds vaguely familiar] and declares that the UK will lead ‘the world in making green energy and tackling climate change.’
Here is how the readers responded...ETC

“F” the BBC. If Johnson’s father wants to move back to France, it’s no big deal.

“Mediterranean” France makes sense, especially to a citizen of the UK.

I say, maybe time for a second coming of William of Orange, and may his wife be a Russian.

Who do these English think they are? Submit right now or we send you to gulag

How did he swear an oath to Britain upon joining the UK parliament?
I guess he was lying, and his allegiance was always to France

He should be thrown in jail, or stripped of his assets.

His mother was born in France, and he always felt like he was French.

Fortunately in the USA the President has to be a natural Born Citizen of the USA. We learned our lesson from skippy 0bama.
