I guess I'll have to explain to my therapist today as to why I'm more depressed than usual.

Not Boris, Brexit.

Brexit simply paved the way for Boris to be absolute fucking shit.

Boris Johnson is soon to be Prime Minister...

And this is his song.

Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing, just to play the King
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?


Hard and cold
Bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Yeah! Are you satisfied?
Wish I might, Wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing. just to play the King
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?

Huh!

Wish I may, wish I might
Have this wish, I wish tonight
I want that star, I want it now
I want it all and I don't care how

Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish you may regret it
Careful what you wish you just might get it

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing, just to play the King
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Nothing
Oh, You're just nothing
Where's your crown King Nothing?
Oh, you're just nothing
Absolutely nothing
Off to never never land

And now, as BoJo moves into no. 10 he begins to realise how powerless a PM can be. :lol:

No but seriously. How do you guys actually let people like BoJo into places where they are allowed to do things? I wouldn't put this guy as a junior intern for a small town's government. Prime Minister of the United Kingdom?

I'm reminded of an old episode of Have I got New for you and Reginald D. Hunter joked that Boris Johnson would be Prime Minister. How everyone laughed and knew that it would be the worst idea.

So obviously Jeremy Hunt is your Prime Minister now, right? Right!?

Approximately 160,000 people could vote in this bloody election.

You are rubbing it in to people who could not have impacted the course of events.

Frankly, the act of rubbing it in after the fact to people who could have done nothing is both ineffectual and irritating.

Even a Boris Johnson couldn't have clowned around a Britain that had axed any attempt at Brexit. So be irritated, but not at me, but at people who precipitated the disaster you are in three years running.
