Johnson Cabinet A Who's Who Of Amoral & Incompetent Bastards



CLEARLY not happy with the current pace of the disintegration of the United Kingdom, newly installed prime minister Boris Johnson quickly went about promoting to his cabinet those individuals most capable of hastily accelerating the process of its demise. With Priti Patel, Michael Gove, Dominic Raab, Jacob Rees Mogg and Gavin Williamson all earning a spot in Johnson’s cabinet, it is a veritable smorgasbord of amoral fantasists with the collective brainpower of a battery powered egg.

Those who doubted Johnson’s ability to elevate only the most undeserving, self-serving and morally hollow people to cabinet admitted their error as they surveyed some of his appointments.

Priti Patel is most famous for advocating the death penalty, being fired as a minister after attempting to conduct back door deals with the Israeli government and suggesting threatening Ireland with starvation during Brexit negotiations, Dominic Raab had admitted to not understanding the concept of trade and the sea during his time as Brexit Minister.

Jacob Rees Mogg is homophobic and a haunted painting, Michael Gove called the Good Friday Agreement a ‘moral stain’ and compared it to appeasing the Nazis, also broke the law during EU Referendum as co-chair of the Leave campaign, Grant Scapps a lied about having second job whilst being an MP and practising business under a pseudonym.

SNIP

While vacancies in the positions of Minister for Casual Racism, Minister for Economic Disaster and Minister for Creeping Toward the Far Right have yet to be filled, many political commentators are suggesting Johnson’s new cabinet heralds a golden age for amoral and incompetent bastards.
