How BoJo Is Donald Trump’s Equally Stupid Twin
Read Time:2 Minute, 32 Second
Expected Boris Johnson to speak substantially on Brexit on Tuesday night in his inaugural United Nations General Assembly speech as prime minister? You would’ve been disappointed.
Johnson, also known as BoJo, delivered in other ways however, just hours after the UK’s highest court ruled his suspension of Parliament was unlawful—notably, with what the AP calls “a caffeinated screed about the damage that technology can do if misused, and the glories it can hand humanity if it is delivered properly.” A quote that could easily be applied to Donald Trump.
Here are some wacko standouts, via the AP, the Independent, and Gizmodo, which called the speech “absolutely bonkers”:
- Johnson’s speech was sprinkled with “jokes” on such things as “hangover cures” of the future and the threat of “terrifying limbless chickens.”
- He elaborated on this dystopian future he sees coming, noting, “You may keep secrets from your friends, from your parents, your children, your doctor—even your personal trainer—but it takes real effort to conceal your thoughts from Google. And if that is true today, in [the] future there may be nowhere to hide.”
- More on that: “Can these algorithms be trusted with our lives and hopes? Are we doomed to a cold and hard future where a computer says ‘yes’ or ‘no’? How do you plead with an algorithm? How do you get it to see extenuating circumstances? We need to find the right balance between freedom and control.”
- He’s apparently wary of artificial intelligence: “AI—what will it mean? Helpful robots washing and caring for an aging population? Or pink-eyed Terminators sent back from the future to cull the human race?”
- Household devices also worry Johnson: “A future Alexa will pretend to take orders, but this Alexa will be watching you, clucking her tongue and stamping her foot. … Your mattress will monitor your nightmares, your fridge will beep for more cheese, your front door will sweep wide the moment you approach, like some silent butler.”
- As for those quick thoughts on Brexit: “When Prometheus brought fire to mankind … Zeus punished him by chaining him to a Tartarian crag while his liver was pecked out by an eagle. And this went on forever. A bit like the experience of Brexit in the UK, if some of our Parliamentarians had their way.”
As Johnson headed to the airport to fly back to the UK after that address (you can watch it here, via the Sun), MPs across the pond prepared to reconvene Wednesday.
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn called for Johnson to apologize at the meeting to both the queen and the country in general after the Parliament suspension hubbub. Does all of this sound familiar? Does anyone want to take bets on whether or BoJo Trump apologizes? Probably not, because, after all, no one can predict what Tweedledum, and Tweedledumber will do next.

Boris rocks!!!!
…. Now…. Where did I put my meds? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry, but the idea of this dumpling with a personal trainer (or barber for that matter) is too much for my early morning brain.
Of course the fact that anyone who gives speeches that you’d find in a Psychology 101 class describing Schizophrenia and yet has support as the leader of a country, scares the shit out of me.
It scares the shit out of me as well Glenn!
The UK is incredibly divided, not just over Brexit, but over BoJo.
I want Brexit delivered regardless of a deal, and I’m enjoying BoJo’s determination to oblige.
Several good friends hate Brexit and BoJo in equal measure.
Most importantly, we remain good friends and always will.
Our friendship is more important than Brexit, Boris or, indeed, Trump.
Too many have been silly and lost friends and even family members – on both sides of the pond.
That is the real sadness.
Hey Neil! At least, if you look closely at the picture, Trump is the dumber one, so we still win, or should I say lose 🙂
