    It’s the classic Germany-France joke, but modified:

    A German was on a trip to Poland.

    He reached passport control and the officer asked:

    “Name?”

    “Hans Kleiner”

    “Age?”

    “31”

    “Occupation?”

    “No no, just visiting”

      For real. Boris Johnson was always up for a laugh, and a bit of harmless fun, which is why we elected him. He was the absolute best thing to happen to England, and the wake of destruction he left behind still leaves many of us breathless.

        Is Tusk similar to Boris? I mean, obviously Boris presided over Brexit which was a real fuck-up. Then again, was Brexit really Boris’s fault? What with the referendum, democracy and all that good stuff. It seems to me that the people of the UK made their own bed in that regard.

    I do laugh that it’s been long enough and relations are good enough they can joke about that.

    Man why can’t the rest of the world get on this level. The fact that he appeared on TV without a tie would get him mocked in the US because ties make you important or something?

      He’s not perfect, but especially considering the alternatives, he’s damn good.

      The previous government was slowly undermining the democracy (e.g. they literally removed Supreme Court judges and illegally put their own ones there that voted always in their favor, they rebuild the public tv to propaganda for their party and they fired a lot of judges that didn’t behave as they wanted).

      Then, around a year ago, there were new elections and despite the insane propaganda, due to a massive campaign, that former government lost majority and he got power again. They’re transformed the public TV back and work on reversing much of the harm done. If they also get the presidency in another year, the former party can’t veto much stuff so then they can do even better.

      But it’s still awesome that this happened as it’s one rare example of a democracy that was sliding into an authoritarian regime getting back and undoing the harm.

      He’s not perfect as is party is fiscally conservative and rather neoliberal, but they are in a coalition with left parties so he’s not like Macron, and that definitely balances it (because they have other priorities). And considering the major other alternative, it’s really amazing that he got elected. :D
