He had a LOT of help via the Tories.

Let's not forget fuckface Nigel Farage of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), whose push for Brexit gave the Tories the choice between doing what was in the country's best interest and doing what's in their short-term political interests...and the Tories always choose the second one.

Farage would leave politics to work as an anchor for the British Fox News. The UK would go on to execute Brexit, weakening the European Union (to Russia's benefit), reducing their own bargaining power, fucking up their trade infrastructure, weakening their currency, and exacerbating inflationary pressures.

Exactly—that miserable fuck. And I look at dumbass Boris, waiving from the podium again, thinking, “How’s he still a Party leader??”

And they used messaging that said, bafflingly, the NHS would be “better funded” somehow—as well as universities. Exactly the opposite happened, and all the EU-funded departments and chairs at universities across the country found themselves drowning, leading to a huge brain drain as they ran for the exits. I still know people whose careers in higher education haven’t righted themselves.
