What kind of juice we going to get out of this? There must be some major fuckups we haven't seen yet.

I think it’s just the culmination of everything to this point. The love child thing seems like a convenient moment for his exit, and give the Tories a chance to rebound before the next elections. But maybe there is more, I certainly didn’t expect to wake up to the news.

He just had the most Ministers retire at once since 1932.

He’s an American citizen, too. He should come over here and run for President.

His lies finally caught up with him. He was on notice after the Party-gate lies, he lied over details surrounding covid, the economy.
The final straw was lieing that he knew nothing about a senior Minister accused of drunkenly groping 2 men in a club and promoting him to Deputy Party whip.

The torie's knew he was a liability and after surviving a no confidence vote, barely, the only way to get rid of him was to tear down the government with the mass resignations.
I doubt he'll be missed.

Yep he's dead. Shot with a home made gun. First gun death in Japan this year.
Quote:
Tetsuya Yamagami, 41 and a navy veteran, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder while wielding what appeared to be a home-made shotgun. Police say he has since confessed, telling them he wanted to kill Abe because he was 'dissatisfied' with him.

I saw other people posted while I was writing. This is about Boris. I actually know nothing about him, but his short tenure seemed controversial. Does this mean London isn't the first target the Russians say they will nuke? I guess it depends on his successor, and guessing the Tories still have some kind of majority.
Wondering how much his departure was based on support of Ukraine vs Brexit which seems to now have negative reviews? Like I said IDK so maybe someone who has been following this more can share their opinions.

Yeah all I know about Johnson was every time you saw him he constantly looked all disheveled and shit and then would come out and say some dumb ass shit.

From the commentary I've heard all his problems are domestic, and nothing will change with support for Ukraine. The resignations are from ministerial positions, they weren't resigning from parliament, the conservatives are still in charge.

I did notice that he didn't seem to comb his hair.

His tie always seemed like he borrowed them from a schoolboy with a knot he slipped over his head and his suit looks like he put them on from a pile off the floor. Every single picture.

Yeah i was just thinking maybe it was some cafefully honed political tactic along with his constant blundering and eventual resignation in shame but really its prob just more evidence the entire country is constantly hammered.

I actually didn't follow his career or even know that he had been the mayor of London, or that he was a Tory. I payed attention during Thatcher, but since then all I can remember is I think Major was Labour; my fault. I remember noticing in the last 6 months that Johnson looked like a member of the Sex Pistols.
