I didn’t know Trump had a brother in England.

he’s always been known for being a loudmouth.

It’s true that Obama is 1/2 Kenyan… of course, the mayor’s intent was malicious.

Wow, nice talk from an albino. Refreshing to see American political idiocy reflected as Europe kinda faces its own racism.

Perhaps the Mayor isn’t aware of this, but there is some historical precedent for Americans in general being opposed to British colonialism.

But Boris, why on Earth would anyone have a negative opinion of British colonialism?

This is quite disgusting… I’m sure Rush Limbaugh and his ilk will absolutely love this nonsense.

In Obama’s life he probably spent no more than 10 minutes with his father, and how Kenyan influence rubs off in that space of time I’ll never know.

And what was this “snub” of which they accuse Obama? Obama said that GB’s leadership was enhanced by their membership in the EU. OMG! The horror! Please pick up my monocle, and pass me my smelling salts! The lesson? Conservatives are uninformed, babbling, racist, reactionary fools on both sides of the Atlantic.

I said a few weeks ago Rump is modeling himself (although he doesn’t know it) on Farage and the UKIP. They speak to the same stupidity and racism.

It’s genetic. Political opinions are built into the DNA. That’s how most racism and xenophobia is justified.

Ahhh the irony, Boris. You should probably just STFU when calling Obama a ‘hypocrite’ for mentioning YOUR affairs when nobody over there in the EU can refrain from telling US what we should do and who we should follow. OR when you kiss Putin and/or Assad’s backside(s) and rail at us for NOT…honestly.

Fuck off, “Cousin”.

Well, well…that’s pretty damned funny, coming as it does, from a nutball of Turkish descent who was born in New York and writing a column for a paper that is owned by an Australian who’s been trying to influence United States politicians and our government’s policy for many years.

And Boris, do try to remind yourself each morning that the Empire no longer exists and Victoria is still long dead and buried.

One picture says it all:

Went to a very international business school in the US (Simon), I remember the remarkable scene when one of the British students there, in an off-the-cuff comment, dared to suggest that British colonialism, hasn’t been all bad. He got an earful from all sides, Chinese, Indian, Pakistani … will never forget his dazed look.

The Mayor of London should get out more.

If americans were opposed to british colonialism, most of them would need to hop back on their boats and go back to britain…

WTF is up with modern conservatives of whatever ilk? You’d think that Bibi, Boris, and Teddy can’t move past 1960 by the historical social/cultural/political standards they “conservatively” cling to. So what are conservatives 30-40 years from now going to cling to? Probably Reaganite “laissez faire” economics, Bushy “read my lips” declarations, and maybe a few “Mission Accomplished” goals? Southern conservatives will be decrying the Politically Correct Armageddon that took away their precious Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia and pining to make national memorials about where their statute of beloved traitor generals used to be.

Obama is part Irish on his mothers side. I guess Johnson will blame him for Easter Rising and the IRA.
