Already being praised on Twitter for giving freedom to Zimbabwe, with some comparing it to Brexit.

Charismatic character il give him that.

With the stuff that went on there at a time when similar was happening in Zimbabwe as to that in Libya. Iraq. Afghanistan. I wonder why ‘we’ never invaded and toppled him.

Arguably Libya was far more stable. But I guess the strategic position and resources was just pure coincidence.

Well ultimately he wasn’t a threat to anyone’s national security in any way shape or form. His army could have been defeated by 200 tanked up early 90’s Burnley lads tbf

Yep, I’m guessing you’ve missed the cheaper petrol that ISIS flooded the market with and was swept up by all the oil companies.

Nationalist, surely ?

I think Johnson's more likely to turn up to be honest - assuming he's still in the job in a few days.
There are, according to the Mail, "rumours" concerning his future. Once the tide in his support from the right-wing press turns, he's fooked.
A shame because the whole current fiasco is hilarious.
