As the fallout from Brexit continues, the UK just got their biggest shock yet: the appointment of oafish former London Mayor Boris Johnson as foreign secretary.*

With the confirmation of Theresa May (http://mashable.com/2016/07/13/theresa-may-s**opers-charter-privacy-bill/) as the new Prime Minister, more appointments fell into line, including Johnson.*
The former mayor of London is k**wn for getting himself into ridiculous situations (http://mashable.com/2016/02/22/boris-johnson-moments/) (like tackling a small child), kind of like a spiritual brother to **w-deceased former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdYakrmEvUc).*
Johnson is also k**wn for stupefying, and sometimes racist (http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2008/jan/23/london.race), remarks. In April, he became a "birther" when he suggested U.S. President Barack Obama (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-suggests-part-kenyan-obama-may-have-an-ancestral-dislike-of-britain-a6995826.html) was "part-Kenyan."
