A thankless job in a nation whose native-western culture is constantly beaten down and with half the population that would just as soon be supplecants to the dictates of Brussels.
Hurrah.
Now get out of the EU cesspool.
All that and born in NY. Under the liberals’ interpretation of natural born citizen, he could become both PM and POTUS.
“From Wiki, this conservative has a Muslim bloodline.”
And Jewish and Christian.
That Jeremy fellow’s picture looks like Chris whatsisname just asked him to ‘have a seat over here’.
Good news!! Unfortunately, watch British “resistance” groups form to oppose the UK Orange-Man.
Have they accused him of Russian Collusion yet?.............
“BORIS”....come on....you KNOW he is a Russian sleeper agent!!!!!!
....lolololololol
Liberal heads are exploding world wide today.....
..lets have a party...lol
Meanwhile, the hand-picked back room deal EU President appeared out of nowhere to force the Europe to become "climate neutral."
I can hear the media now: “OMG! It’s another white supremist with weird hair!”
Good luck to Boris and to Britain!
Johnson is the leader of the party in power but it’s also the party that just got its collective head handed to it in the EU parliamentary elections. That means the clock is ticking down to 5 May, 2022. He hasn’t long to deliver and his opponents are dragging their feet for all they’re worth.
He won in a ‘landslide’, that gives him a mandate to git’er done!.................
He better move fast or the EU weenies will make sure he gets nothing done
Anchor baby. Churchill was another ‘citizen’ via his mother.
Can you imagine if Trumps first name were Boris?
Not only NY, but the Upper East Side of NYC. Everyone should learn about the Silk Sock District, it's history is true today.
