The sound of Theresa May's cackle over the Mamma Mia soundtrack reportedly heard echoing down Downing Street.

Isn't that the girls way to spell Jo, like short for Joanne.

"Joe" is the proper spelling for man Joe. Like Joe Mangel, the Neighbours legend.

Boris is a legend...a political anarchist...we have all been moaning for far far to long about politics for this not to get our juices flowing about a political upheaval for this country...


Surely that's what all these moaning moany moaners that moan day to day about politics want...an upheaval?


But no..we have the opposite, like the opposite we have regarding the oppositions response to a serving governments offer of a general election...WHY?


Cause they are all the same, but Boris is ruffling feathers.

Ehh, I've seen both for guys older and younger than him. Though I admit Joe is more common.

Lol, bojo is a self-serving liar not an anarchist. Major was talking about Cummings not bojo, you got the wrong end of the stick there.
Bojo the clown is a typical establishment chancer
