Brexit will be Titanic success, says Boris Johnson

[ramkeham]

[quote]Boris Johnson has said Britain will make a “Titanic success of Brexit” and compared himself to the dog strangled by Michael Heseltine as he collected a comeback of the year at the Spectator Awards on Thursday night.

He said he believed that Europe was coming to terms with the UK’s departure. “In the words of our great prime minister, they understand that Brexit means Brexit and we are going to make a Titanic success of it.”

“It sank,” said former chancellor George Osborne, who was presenting Johnson with his award.

“Well, the Titantic exhibition in Northern Ireland is the single most popular attraction in the province,” Johnson said. “We are going to make a colossal success of Brexit.”

I'm not entirely sure I can cope with this and the presidential election at the same time, politics and improv comedy have merged.

So he wants Britain to become a tourist trap?

If by Titanic success he means sink the whole fucking country then I'll look forward seeing this come about.

Its massive failure being a successful museum piece does not make it itself a success. I guess by that logic the holocaust was a success because holocaust museums are probably pretty popular, right? How does someone without basic logic understand get into power?

It might but it could also lead to violence, which I am terrified of. I don't think either Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland are ready yet, and remember that for unification to happen it has to happen with the consent of both states.

This might speed it up, but I say that will only happen if there is a hard border. And while I think the British government is stupid, they surely can't be [I]that[/I] stupid?

Because people thought he was a massive but funny ejeit and there would be no harm in him.

Turns out he's a massive but unfunny ejeit that has done a lot of harm and has fucked a ton of people.

ah i see his plan, we'll make money by turning the country into one giant museum dedicated to "how to financially ruin a country"

genius, utterly genius

[Roger Waters]

the country will be a museum like pompeii, there will be future generations that tread through the ash that coats our once-cobbled roads, glancing in faux-sorrow at the blast-shadows of what was once our people all over the walls, gently avoiding ashified carcasses as they turn to their tour guide and ask "why? why did these people turn the key and drop the bomb?"

and the tour guide, one of few survivors of the great war, will pull his glasses from his face and stare into them intently, watching the dying sunlight flicker off their reflective surface and grimly say, "freddos reached 55p."

blonde bumbling bastard, stop pretending you don't swallow thesauruses for breakfast, lunch and dinner to shit out articles like this

It also might snap in half while sinking.

Let me fix that a little:

The country will hit an iceburg (economy downturn), people will be concerned, things will go back to normal shortly after words for a little while and the rich will think everything's fine (all the while the poor are drowning downstairs).

The suprise comes when the ship starts tilting downwards a bit (everything starts slowly going to shit) until the point where everything's gone sideways and then for the grand finale the rear of the ship snaps off (scotland ceeds) and Nessie comes along to eat everything.

should have said titanic as in the word titanic and not try to relate it to the fucking museum

Scotland ceeds and Northern Ireland decides fuck sorting out any border, lets join Ireland.
Scotland and Ireland then decide to bro up in a tag team and form a united Celtic union, Wales being as patriotic as it is thinks that joining in on this new country is a fukken great idea (Completely forgetting about the whole EU thing now because being part of the Celtic union sounds fukken sweet, also Parliment won't match EU funding)

This leaves England to itself and surrounded by the sweet new bromanship of the Celtic Union where all the counties are represented as clans and we all get drunk every two years in a huge field somewhere and call it a cultural show.

The future as predicted by me.

This whole thing is such a fucking mess and I just want it to end.

Id suggest Cornwall would like to join but they're proudly standing on the deck of HMS Brexit saying 'at least we won't be short of ice cubes for our cocktails'
