Boris Defends Parliamentary Democracy By Crushing It
Boris Johnson, formerly Court Jester to the British Conservative Party and now its Prime Rib, said today that while he fully intends to respect the law that compels him to ask for an extension for the UK to remain within the European Union until a mutually acceptable exit can be agreed by all concerned, he also fully intends to ignore that law and force the UK out of the EU on 31st October anyway.
Johnson, the unelected Prime Rib who owes his position entirely to a tiny number of extremely ignorant and racist geriatrics, declared that by ignoring Parliament and the tens of millions of people who voted for their Members of Parliament he was thereby restoring sovereignty to Parliament and respecting the will of the people.
Sources close to the Prime Rib say that he arrived at this strategy after talking to Donut Turnip, known to many as POTUS (Pustule of the United States). Turnip advised Johnson to “F*ck the law” on the grounds that the exceedingly stupid people who’ve backed him so far will continue to back him him no matter how blatantly he violates every former norm of government and every norm of basic human behavior. According to the Pustule, “Who gives a sh*t about details anyhow? Everybody knows you can do whatever you want when you’re a winner. Cause I say so.”
