Celebrities react as UK Government collectively shits the bed; Boris Johnson resigns

Jul 09, 2018 19:42

In a nutshell:

The Tories continue to prove themselves useless AF. In the space of 48 hours, the Secretary of State for Brexit (David Davis) and the Foreign Secretary (Boris Johnson) resigned. Nobody with an ounce of intelligence will miss Boris, as he is an idiot, a racist, a coward and a liar.

Dominic Raab was appointed in Davis's stead. But really, nobody knows what the fuck is going on or what's going to happen with Brexit. Total shambles, yay!!!

Various British celebrities and persons of interest shared their thoughts on Twitter:

Boris Johnson is the latest to hand in a transfer request as his team hurtle towards inevitable relegation.

Installing an unelected, far right peer in number ten will definitely restore public faith in the democratic process. https://t.co/iHRjNcEN3v

As someone on our film crew’s just said:”You can always rely on Boris Johnson to be second over the parapet.’

Fittingly, The Thick of It is trending.

UK ONTD, do you think a general election should be called?
