I know but I like the idea of Rick roll with Gove just repeating:
"I can tell you I'm absolutely not. The one thing I can tell you is there are lots of talented people who could be prime minister after David Cameron but count me out."
"I don’t think I have got that exceptional level of ability required to do the job,"
"I don't want to do it and there are people who are far better equipped than me to do it. And there are people who have advocated Leave and people who have advocated Remain who are far better than me to do it."
"I don’t have what it takes,"
"I am an inconceivable choice as party leader,"
"David Cameron...has it and I don't and I think it's important to recognise in life you’ve reached an appropriate point."
"There are lots of other folk, including in the Cabinet who could easily be prime minister, I am not one of them. I could not be prime minister, I am not equipped to be prime minister, I don’t want to be prime minister."
"I'm constitutionally incapable of it. There's a special extra quality you need that is indefinable, and I know I don't have it. There's an equanimity, an impermeability and a courage that you need. There are some things in life you know it's better not to try."

Hardly getting over it.
It's not the one I heard yesterday about him having TWO mistresses currently on the go, is it?
Oh, I bet quite a few people did. Honestly, I had been thinking in the last few days that Boris Johnson does not want to be Tory leader now, but would prefer someone else to do that thing, while Boris awaits on the sidelines, biding his time. And I am not in any way a clever political strategist or anything.

I didn't mean to, and I apologise. My head is all of a muddle, and this computer even worse muddleful.

one Tory MP - Nigel Evans, a Boris supporter (i think..) - suggested that todays events made House of Cards look like the Teletubbies...

What's that line about wielding the knife but not wearing the crown? He's another Heseltine.
This has some interesting background: How Boris was done in by a “cuckoo in the nest” plot

Not unless they're a Dom. Otherwise, he'd merely be a "lover" - talk about double standards...

Not sure I think he did, but that's my personal theory. I thought he was taking the "leave" position to make himself be seen as an obvious counterpoint to Cameron; as a city boy (and one who's been doing more for the "foreign investors in london property" money-grab than most) he would have known how deeply divisive and economically damaging this whole scenario is probably going to be. I suspect, like Lord Camomile's pertinent comment suggests, that the whole thing was a front for free publicity via the referendum to win votes by way of the "Cameron-is-PM-therefore-everything-is-his-fault-and-I'm-the-opposite-of-him-and-therefore-brilliant" angle.
As has been observed, Cameron's resignation basically means he was put on the spot good and proper for pulling the trigger on the Article Fuckedy and I don't think any politician is eager to jump on that bandwagon.
So thanks to Cameron and Johnson's now we're left with the possibility of May as the new Stasi-in-chief in the middle of a highly vulnerable and volatile economy after alienating much of our closest trading partners. Well done tories, well done indeed.
Thinking about starting my own party called Norsefire. In the current political disarray I reckon I could win by a landslide.
Ten out of ten points for meta-ing the fuck out of the situation for leaving the Leave tribe at least
All the integrity of edible knickers on a water slide and all the backbone of a pissed earthworm.Hearing a lot from remainers about how disgraceful Johnson is for putting us in this mess and then walking away. Again, the assumption is that Johnson duped 17 million people into voting leave.
ETA: This view is encapsulated by Ewan McGregor's reply to Johnson on Twitter: "You spineless c$&t You lead this ludicrous campaign to leave EU. Win, and now fuc& off to let someone else clear up your mess."
