How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

Just guessing - bet that fucker Boris still thinks that Brexit is a winner.

Doubt it.
Most of us have known for a long time that what he says bears no relation to what he really thinks or what is true.

I bet you anything, when he tries to sleep at night, he knows in his heart of hearts that it was, is and always will be a disaster. He is Brexit and it ate him alive, hastened by his own arrogance. It could only ever be that way. Brexit destroys everything it touches including its own father.

Yep.
Brexit is Frankenstein's monster. Johnson is Frankenstein.

Merde. I thought Johnson was held in high regard internationally...

Somehow, I suspect not by many who were having to deal with Brexit issues.

Yep.
Brexit is Frankenstein's monster. Johnson is Frankenstein.

Exactly the metaphor I was going to use, or maybe the she-spider who eats her own young.

This is one of my major concerns about Boris Johnson, I doubt he does give a shit because he isn't Boris Johnson, he is Alexander, or Al, Johnson, so anything Boris does isn't actually him. This leads to a rather worrying state of affairs.

Johnson would have promised anything - anything! - to be PM.

I don't believe he actually wanted Brexit, as even he is not that stupid. He wanted to lose, and then get elected as Tory leader by the swivelled-eyed members, who would have seen him as one of their own. His face, on the day the result was announced, said it all. He looked like we would all do if City lost the PL in the last match by being beaten 5-0 by Scousepool!

But he still wanted to be PM. And the way forward was to be a tool of the nutty-as-squirrelshit ERG, to bring down May, on the basis that her deal wasn't Brexity enough. He didn't care that he was setting up an untenable position that someone would have to sort out. (And still will.) He just wanted to be PM. He's got the pension, he will have the book deals and lecture tours, he's still admired by the sort of people who think Nigel Farage is a god. He's laughing his cock off.

This is quite highbrow now.
The lying fraud has been compared above with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, and now you seem to be making a reference to Robert Louis- Stevenson’s Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, but I’m going with Roger Hargreaves’s mr. Messy or mr. Lazy.
Much more his level.

Or the owner of the Segway company who died by going off a cliff on one.

One of those stories that sounds like an Urban Myth or a plot from a 'slightly alternative' indie movie.
Much like our current period of UK politics.
