I agree, Stop The Boats
Bloody oligarchs coming over 'ere on their mega yachts, stealing our public assets, influencing our government, exploiting our work force, dumping their waste into our rivers & expecting the tax payer to foot the bill for their billion pound government contracts & bail outs

The Acorn here, decrying our media climate.
A man who shaped British rightism for decades, & whose final act of relevancy was setting up GB News—a soil pipe that shat nativist effluent, antivaxism & other US culture wars trash into the mainstream as "news".
A culprit, an enabler, a dissembler.

Every time I almost forget the damage this man did - with Brexit, during the pandemic, in terms of public confidence - up he pops to remind me how loathsome he is.
Failures like him and Truss used to at least have the decency to disappear from public life. Now, they just grift even harder.

After MONTHS of shilling for Trump and angrily lecturing that OF COURSE Trump doesn't mean what he says, OF COURSE he's not on Russia's side, OF COURSE he's got Ukraine's back... Johnson now flips, with nary a word to acknowledge that he got this as catastrophically wrong as everything else. ~AA
