SBS News @SBSNewsBritish PM Boris Johnson is addressing the UN General Assembly Um, awkward. In Avengers Age of Ultron, Stark managed to turned ‘intelligence’ into a sentient being. Every time Johnson speaks, it becomes painstakingly clear he is the living embodiment of the opposite of Stark’s creation. Yet another Britain is best ad. Soooo boring. These Brits need to get out more.

We stand there agreeing with USA and slap our largest trading partner in the face instead of visiting China and working through any issues .. all countries are important not just the USA and GB
