All that money and can't afford a decent haircut.

I keep thinking that his name must be a stage name, and that his real
name must be Scrooge McTrump.
Then again, he doesn't seem to have anywhere close enough money to bathe in.

It seems he couldn't care less about fancy head dresses.
Now if there was any actual power attached to it, that would certainly
be a different story.

Maybe. But since you've presumably never aimed for a job where you're
constantly on TV (except maybe CCTV), I guess you can be excused.

That is an image I don't want to keep.

I don't know. He is a Tory and that is the top job in the land. He could
ruin all of the country. Just being himself.

It's interesting watching the behaviour of the main players in the game.
David Cameron resigns as PM - honourable but misguided
Jeremy Corbyn sacks one of his senior lieutenants - stupid and petty, it
provokes a landslide of resignations
Michael Gove and Boris the Blond duck and cover - neither knows what to
do next. And ...
Nigel Farage goes to the pub and gets pissed
I'm ordering in extra popcorn

Othello should have done the same to Iago for the same reasons.
He has a cunning plan. ;)

See, there is a plus side to being poorly.
It gives you perspective.

Yup. I get the feeling they didn't actually want to leave. All they were
looking for was a way to add pressure on the EU for further
renogotiations. As the old saying goes: "Be careful what you wish for ..."

Additional:
re the online petition for a re-run of the referendum
South Georgia (pop 0) has registered 2761 votes.
British Antarctic Territory (pop ~400 at this time of year) - 2595 votes
Vatican City (pop 842) - 34779 votes.
Something very fishy going on here.

Where did you read that?
It could be the Leave Campaign trying to void the vote.

could be that the site's designers were drawn from the bottom 20%:

otoh, perusing Google Images with 'BREXIT cartoon' may provide
additional insights. ;-)
agree though that sitting back and, if not enjoying at least watching,
the 'show' with interest, is all one can do at this point.
