Today in Brexit means Brexit.

“We may be leaving the European Union but we are not leaving Europe,” Boris Johnson said while on an official visit to Turkey, AFP reported. He added the U.K. “will help Turkey in any way.”

Johnson sought to reassure the country of Britain’s continued support in the wake of an attempted coup in July. The U.K. will stand “shoulder-to-shoulder with Ankara,” Johnson said, which has a vital role to play on the world state.

Johnson visited a camp for Syrian refugees and praised Turkey for the “remarkable work” it was doing in dealing with the refugee crisis.

ME Eye:

Before the Brexit vote, Britain was always seen as one of the strongest supporters of Ankara's bid for EU membership. Extolling trade between the countries, Johnson boasted that he was the proud "possessor" of a "beautiful" Turkish washing machine.

Just to quote boris the last time he spoke about Erdogan:
"There was a young fellow from Ankara, Who was a terrific wankerer."

Boris: 'Lets leave, Turkey are gonna join and fuck up the EU'

UK Votes Leave

Boris: 'Lets help Turkey get into the EU'

After his conduct during the Brexit campaign, I honestly now loathe Boris the most out of all Politicians, and I follow politics a fair old bit

I'm sure that during a BBC show (Who Do You Think You Are), it was shown that Johnson had some Turkish lineage. Not that it means anything of course.

When are these cowards going to invoke Article 50?

Could it be never because they and the morons that voted for Brexit are cowardly little twats? Go the fuck away and stop bothering us.

"We want out of the EU due to immigration. But we support adding a huge country that will come with a ton of immigration."

Fuck off, Boris.

Boris: Since we're leaving, there's a spot wide open for you! We'll even keep the seat warm! You can even take all the people we don't want!

I'm guessing thats his mindset

Same guy that veto-ed investigating Saudi war crimes in Yemen, wonder if anyone would look into his Panama account and how much money is flowing from dictators all across the world into it.

Oh shut the fuck up Boris you left the minute you realized you'd have to do something other than yell.

Why this pompous buffoon thinks that people still care what he has to say as if he didn't quit the minute things got hard is beyond me.

looooooooooooooooooooooooooool... I just typed in "turkish washing machine manufacturers" into Google because I legitimately didn't know any, and it's just pages of Boris Johnson boasting about his Turkish washing machine...

They'll invoke Article 50 when they've pissed off most every world leader individually in order to ensure the best trade deals. Be patient, an undertaking like that takes time and we know how stressful it must be for them.

EH BORIS?

Honestly though I don't even think Turkey wants to join the EU (not anymore at least)

what likely is Turkey's gain is trying to have more cards to use when going to the negotiating table with anything EU related

Coming from him, this is hilarious.

The whole brexit thing made me very confused about British politicians stances versus the people who actually elect them.

Why would Johnson, who campaigned for leaving the EU as he deemed it a better choice to not be a part of it, support another country in it's efforts to join that same organization? Would it not make more sense for him to go around warning others of the EU and it's evil, sovereignty-stealing schemes to prevent them from falling into the same trap the UK fell into all those years ago?

Yes, I'm being sarcastic

Why is anyone paying attention to the foreign minister of one of the most powerful nations on earth? Gee, I wonder why. If May really nominated him because of some power play on order to get the Leavers behind her I just... no.

UK bumms me out. Fallen to idiots, politics in shambles and image destroyed for decades. Good going there.
