Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Well - if Boris has decided anything, it's that he'd rather lead a rabble of no-hoper xenophobes who believe that being against Brexit is being against Britain, than serve as a minion in May's multi-dysfunctional riven "government."

In other words Boris has gone Trump, and is pandering to the deplorables in order to win the party leadership and - he hopes - an election.

The lying is part of the act. In the world of the deplorables, sticking a boot in the face of anyone who has real facts to discuss is considered a virtue, not a crime.

Boris doesn't care about facts. Boris only cares about Boris. And when you're on your way to the top, populist rhetoric always trumps (sic) truth.

Yes, this.

A real 'rebel yell' for the fuddy-duddies on the back benches. Forget yer facts, vote for the most outrageous one if you're going to vote in a clown prince of terminal idiocy.

"Good ole Boris, watta wagster, did you hear the latest yet? He showed 'em up for the fact-ridden fools they are, eh."

Britain once again aping America, in Teresa May's case vying for the nastiest female leader with Hillary, while Boris tries to out-buffoon the Donald.

With leaders like this enemies don't have to lift a finger, just enjoy the meltdown.

Boris the historian, making hysteria against Johnny Foreigner great again.
