People will celebrate this as if he won’t be replaced by a functionality equivalent ghoul 🙄
Ouy bruvs, it’s me, Wahn Godreoh here to step up and take charge.
I’ve been ghouling since I shagged marmalade-slathered crumpets.
When I heard the news my good friend Boris Johnson is retiring, I nearly halted my Union Jacking off into my mid-morning tea, but God save the queen if I don’t manage to make the tea go down with a little bit of cream.
Can’t wait to lead all you gents.
They are all functionality equivalent. This is similar (though not exactly like) people saying Trump was worse than Biden. Leftists know that he meaningfully isn’t.
Whoever replaces him is going to kill just as many poor/marginalised people here and brown people overseas, and will continue to help the rich get richer. This is basically just bourgeois infighting and we shouldn’t be distracted by it (even if the drama is admittedly entertaining to watch).
I actually disagree, I think there are far worse people than Boris who might take over
Place your bets for the next leader now!
Intersectional Fascism, Austerity+, Thatcher as Farce, or any of the rogue’s gallery of Home Counties Dads?
It’s all to play for as we find out who the press will use to rehabilitate Johnson in 3 years when they fail to do anything about the Moloch Machine that is modern Britain!
I’m going with Michael Gove. Mostly because that’s the most awfully ghoulish option.
I don’t know if he’s worse than Suelle Braverman, but that’s mostly because i do not know much about that particular clown.
I’m not completely aware of Gove’s background (mostly heard about him during Brexit).
He’s anti-expert, as in he can’t stand the idea of experts in any field advising policy and stated as much during Brexit.
He’s come out in favour of execution via hanging in past but I’m unclear what his current views are on it.
He wrote a whole book in favour of complete privatisation of the NHS.
His wife is a pretty powerful ghoul in the Murdoch press.
Was deeply in favour of the Iraq war and has supported every conflict that has occurred while he’s been an MP.
He supports gay marriage though so there’s a sort of Blairite liberal who likes him.
Gove is a weasel fuck. Most of his senior political career was engineered by his (ex?) wife who has lots of hoighty-toighty connections through her job as a journalist - she was behind his gormless attempt at the recent leadership when he and Boris ran - when Boris won Gove’s wife went mental and started smashing shit because she thought she would be married to the Prime Minister of Great Britain.
So their history is probably why he was fired instead of resigning - Boris taking revenge for all the poison his wife was dripping into everyone’s ear. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gove’s office was the source for all the party / Covid strife. Gove is a busted flush now, he may well run again but he’ll never get the Top Job.
:crab-party:
Won’t be missed
