I'm not so much meaning this in a political way but growing up Donald Trump was best known for his amusing name and his wife's shoe collection, Boris was that mildly amusing one on HIGNFY. Now Trump is the POTUS and Boris could soon be PM. And slightly less concerning but still odd Meghan Markle from Suits could in a very bad flu season possibly be Queen.
Is it me? Did we go through a wormhole and no-one noticed?

I mean, I agree these are funny times, but a) all periods of history have their quirks, and b) could you not come up with something better to vote on? I mean, what's the outcome of me voting?

There isn’t really any prospect of Meghan becoming queen (more’s the pity) but otherwise yanbu.

You say that but if bojo can become PM then I wouldn't bet on it.

I totally agree. It is bizarre.

There is a curse that says may you live in interesting times. I think we are

Yanbu and I think we’re just at the start of it. Shit gonna get much weirder and messed up before it gets better if you ask me #pessimist

JoyceJeffries · 20/06/2019 21:45

Yeah, none of seems quite real.

With global warming heating up it's never going to get better.

If things just get worse from now on, maybe post-war mid to late 20th century was the best time ever to be alive in the UK?

Very strange times indeed. I wonder what history books will have to say about these times.
I honestly cannot fathom why people think Boris Johnson would be a good PM.

I think we’ve slipped into a parallel universe.
