You always have to pay back when you come out. This time, it was the turn of British Prime Minister Johnson.
Everything is dramatic, but more humiliating. Just this past day, one after another British cabinet members resigned angrily without looking back.
Why?
I really can’t stand it anymore. I’m really ashamed to be with such a prime minister.
According to media statistics, at least 16 ministers announced their resignations, setting a new record in British history. The previous record was in September 1932, when 11 ministers resigned within one day.
This is a rare dramatic “coup d ‘é tat” in British history. The first to resign was said Javed, a cabinet member and British health secretary.
He scolded in front of Johnson, “the British people rightly expect their government to be honest”, but “at some time, we must conclude that we have had enough, and I believe it is now.”
I quit.
A few minutes later, the third person in the British cabinet and Chancellor of the exchequer Richie sunak also announced his resignation. Before leaving, he said: the public should expect the government to work “properly, competent and serious”. Although this may be his last time as a minister, “in my opinion, these standards are worth adhering to, which is the reason for my resignation”.
Two ministers are in charge of the two most important events in Britain at present. One is to fight the epidemic and the other is to restore the economy. If you say no, you will quit.
As a result, dominoes fell one after another, and one minister after another announced his resignation.
Not only the ministers shouted to quit, but also many vice ministers and senior officials went away. The total data said that it had exceeded 40.
What crime did Johnson commit?
It is believed that the last straw that overwhelmed him was that Johnson lied and appointed a misbehaving confidant Christopher pincher as the Deputy whip of the conservative party.
Pinchette looks like an English gentleman at first, but last week, the “English gentleman” was accused of molesting two men. You are not wrong. He is obscene to men. It is said that he is probably a British MP.
This may be a private morality issue, but as more and more insider stories are revealed, Prime Minister Johnson is considered to have unshirkable responsibility. Because he was the one who appointed pincher to an important position in the Conservative Party and was the Deputy whip to supervise others.
What a pungent irony.
More importantly, the prime minister also kept lying. He clearly knew that PINCHE had a moral problem before, but he always said he didn’t know until one evidence after another hit his face. He was lying.
British society is in uproar. Johnson, you are challenging the IQ and bottom line of British people.
You know, since he became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom three years ago, Johnson, who is considered to be “trump of the United Kingdom”, has done one absurd thing after another. He was accused of wasting money and decorating his house with public funds; He said that “party doors” were created by doing one thing at a time. British people must abide by the quarantine regulations, but he and the people around him violated the regulations and drank and had fun.
Moreover, he showed mercy everywhere, and his girlfriends changed one after another. Anyway, how many illegitimate children he had is a British mystery. At this point, the real trump must sigh for himself.
Now, there is such a lying scandal.
It’s no wonder that British ministers really couldn’t stand it and staged a resignation and escape.
Let’s listen to the opposition’s evaluation of Johnson.
Kiel stammer, the leader of the labor party, said: “after all the dirt, scandals and failures, it is obvious that this government is collapsing. Conservative cabinet ministers have long known the prime minister.”
Ed Davy, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, wrote on Twitter: “the ‘house of cards’ based on lies and deception is about to collapse. Leave now. You have tarnished the country’s reputation long enough.”
Alas, a British card house is more than a card house.

But more dramatic is still to come.
The ministers fled one after another, and the government was empty. What did Johnson think?
He will continue to fight. In the British Parliament, in the face of everyone’s boos, Johnson did not change his face and vowed: under difficult circumstances, the job of a prime minister entrusted with a great mission is to move forward, which is what I want to do.
Well, I have a great mission, and I have to serve the British people.
What do the British think?
The latest poll shows that 69% of British people believe that Johnson should resign, and only 18% want him to stay in office.
British media have said that Johnson has gone. The official BBC comment: the gas is exhausted. The time, an old newspaper, believes that the game is over.
But the opinions of the British people and the media are useless. Because the conservative party is now in power, the Conservative Party voted no confidence last month, and Johnson narrowly escaped. According to the conservative party, the no confidence vote can no longer be raised within a year.
Many British people worry that the United States will be staged in Britain: just as trump resolutely refuses to admit losing the election, “trump in Britain” just refuses to agree to step down.
Therefore, although Johnson has become an out and out British political clown, and although British cartoonists even use animals to ridicule, Johnson is going to continue to “fight tenaciously”. It is estimated that the tug of war will take some time.
Finally, what do you think?
It’s still shallow.
First, we are witnessing history.
Witness the historic brexit of Britain, the defeat of Britain against the epidemic, and the latest dramatic “coup”… CNN has a saying like this: “the spectacular collapse of Johnson’s political career may now be a few hours away from completion…” it’s really spectacular, better than Hollywood, Hollywood. Johnson is still struggling, but everyone knows that it is a matter of time before he steps down. But it is really rare to step down in such disgrace. Oh, and the rare fuse event, the rare prime minister, the British, you really can play.
Second, what happened to western politics.
Before taking office, Johnson was infamous, but this did not prevent him from continuing to be prime minister and continue to lie; Just like the United States, even if trump goes further, he will become president and still give orders to the world. Of course, trump believes that Biden is worse and dirtier than himself. This can’t help but make people wonder, what happened to western politics? There is a Chinese saying that when a country is about to die, there must be demons. This may not be true, but in the west, you should also seriously reflect!
Third, Putin, what do you think?
Don’t forget, it’s Johnson who made headlines a few days ago. Even at the G7 summit, he proposed that everyone undress and undress to compete with Putin on chest muscles and who is stronger. Putin responded angrily: your scene is really disgusting. I guess Johnson knew that there was a crisis immediately after returning home, so he tried all kinds of ways to shift the focus, but in the end, he still couldn’t escape this disaster. According to Putin’s indomitable personality, how will he mend the knife this time?
