Last week I was speaking from my UK co-worker.  He still can't believe Brexit. He said all the old people voted for it to restore the British Empire.  Somewhere along the way he uttered "F'n Boris Johnson that clown!"

I was told there's a distinct possibility my company will close the longtime UK location and move it inside the EU.  The majority of auto factories they sell to are inside the EU rather than in the UK

No, not really.  He's survived a few votes of no confidence.  Yesterday was the straw that broke the camel's back.  Something like 35 MPs resigned in one day, as well as a couple of cabinet members.  He couldn't form a government, yet he refused to leave.

About time some change happened at 10 Downing.  Unfortunately, the replacement will just be another Tory moron.

I mean, if they get opposed by doofuses like Corbyn, it won't stop.  2 bad choices for PM.  Looks like the UK and the US aren't so different after all!

I saw it said on Twitter: Another pudgy doofus with bad hair who had been installed with the help of Putin bites the dust.

Dude and a plethora of scandals, amazing he survived this long.

If Corbyn had stepped aside (which his ego wouldn't allow) someone else besides BoJo probably would have been elected.  Other people I spoke with from the UK said Corbyn is just a Communist was universally disliked.
