Kremlin says good riddance to U.K.’s Boris Johnson
The Washington Times ^ | July 7, 2022 | Tom Howell Jr.

Moscow smacked Boris Johnson on his way out the door as the U.K. prime minister signaled plans to step down after a tenure marked by a staunch defense of Ukraine but many scandals at home.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Mr. Johnson “really does not like us — and we [do not like] him either,” according to the BBC.

Well, I guess Boris will now have the time to pursue his lifetime dream of opening a little shop somewhere and becoming a hair stylist.

I had such high hopes for Johnson after Brexit.

He turned into such a deep-state tool and spineless cuck, one wonders who or what got to him.

“The deep state got another one.”

Boris Johnson, a conservative in name only, got himself.

The vanguard is stepping aside, the hard work done. The replacement will continue the push while claiming to take on the enormous task of fixing what the last guy broke. The public might fall for it.

I suspect our guy will be next.

They call them trousers in the UK. Pants are underwear. In any case Boris was a HUGE disappointment!

Yes, he got off to a pretty good start, despite being a bit of a poseur, then seemed to swerve completely off track after his bout with covid. Oh well.

He might as well be, considering the damage he’s done to the British economy.

Free nations’ Leaders usually get out termed by autocrats, who deny freedom and propagandize their populations.

But, Autocrats...they rarely outlive them.

None of us care, but since every country has a right to “chime in”, he did also.

Now me, I won’t miss Boris at all. I do know what he is replaced with will probably be far worse if that is possible..

I know, who cares? lol
