On Wednesday, an unsigned editorial in Sweden's largest daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter called referendums "problem-laden" and stated it was best to allow politicians decide instead of asking for people's opinions. "To appeal directly to voters is particularly problematic in this kind of constitutional issues concerning these fundamental rights and sovereignty," the newspaper wrote

“God save the Queen and a fascist regime … a flabby toothless fascism, to be sure. Never go too far in any direction, is the basic law on which Limey-Land is built. The Queen stabilizes the whole sinking shithouse and keeps a small elite of wealth and privilege on top. The English have gone soft in the outhouse. England is like some stricken beast too stupid to know it is dead. Ingloriously foundering in its own waste products, the backlash and bad karma of empire”

While you're at it, Theresa May, why don't you make Nigella Lawson and Otis Ferry directors of PETA UK or something? Mother-FUCK!

Do the people who are continuously pitifully whining over the EU referendum result know the definition of democracy? So many assholes have protested over it and it's simply because they can't get over the appalling fact that others, namely the majority, disagree with them. They can't stand being beaten, they're that far up their own ass.

A better one: This is like making Marine LePen head of UNHCR.

John Kerry must be fucking FUMING at the prospect of having to deal with this assclown.

From The Washington Post. Boris on the Middle East:

Quote:

Johnson has controversially bucked the Western trend and praised Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for battling the Islamic State, no matter his parallel campaign of violence on Syria's civilian population. He also hailed the "ruthless clarity" of Russian President Vladimir Putin's support for the Assad regime. In 2006, he wrote an op-ed laying out the logic for giving Iran a nuclear bomb.

On Africa:

Quote:

In the past, Johnson has had to apologize for referring to Africans as "piccaninnies" with "watermelon smiles." He even once suggested Africa would be better off if it were still administered by the former colonial powers.

On Hillary:

Quote:

Foreign affairs commentator Ian Bremmer quipped that British-U.S. ties with Johnson as foreign secretary will go from the "special relationship" to the "special needs relationship." That's because the loud-mouthed former mayor has said some unsavory things about American leaders.

In a 2007 Daily Telegraph column that he wrote about Hillary Clinton's first presidential election bid, he described the potential future American leader this way: "She's got dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital." He then went on to suggest that Americans should vote for Clinton, if only to bring her husband back to the White House.

"If Bill can deal with Hillary, he can surely deal with any global crisis," Johnson wrote.

On Obama:

Quote:

The new foreign secretary was also recently accused of racism after writing another column critical of President Obama. The president had waded into the debate over Britain's place in Europe, urging British voters to choose to remain in the European Union

This angered Johnson, who wrote an op-ed in the right-wing Sun tabloid that piled into Obama, while fixating on the president's supposed contempt for Winston Churchill. (Obama has insisted that he has great respect for the late British prime minister.)

Johnson claimed the "part-Kenyan president" harbored an "ancestral dislike of the British empire — of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender."

Maggie May (surely I can't be the first one to call her that considering the past 36 hours or so) has to be out of her fucking mind — first day in office and she chooses THIS GUY to be her FOREIGN MINISTER? Jolly good this shit's gonna be.
