Goddamn, people are equally stupid on the other side:
Stormont's First Minister Arlene Foster tweeted that "identifying a person by their race is offensive".
Earlier in the article:
Ms Harris has made history as the first female, first black and first Asian-American US vice-president-elect.
Emphasis in the original.

Outrage shouldn't be someone's default-setting.

Boris Johnson has resigned. Which was being celebrated wildly until everyone realised he'll just be replaced by some other conservative prick. But at least maybe someone who brushes their hair.

John Entwistle (rest in peace) is disappointed. No more creepy, crawly ....

Boris resigns, but wants to be a lame duck for a few more weeks? Does he need to hold a going away party at No. 10? Or destroy evidence?
It's generally the done thing for a leader to stay in place until another one is selected, but he's going to be even more unbearable for the next three months.

Some Tories seem perturbed by his desire to stay in place. They seem to think an interim leader would be best.

In the basement of #10...



But, after looking at the last conservative PMs of the UK, what good is to be expected?

Yeah. Mind you, the last Labour PMs weren't good either and if Keir Starmer gets in at the next election, it'll be a real Trump to Biden copycat. Another completely useless centrist dipshit taking over from a stupid fascist prick.
