Owned by Luxembourg

Over the weekend, our fearless leader, Alexander Boris de Piffel Johnson, described himself as Hulk, and you wouldn't like him when he was angry.

Or something.

Whatevs.

Anyway, today, or be-Hulked PM went to the Grande Duchy for talks with their PM, Xavier Bettel.

Boris was booed by a small but vocal crowd of UK expats as he arrived, and then it turned out the joint news conference planned for after was pulled by Johnson "so not to be rude to Bettel", being drowned out by the protests.

So, it went ahead, two podiums, one maned by Bettel, and the other empty. Bettel even posed for a handshake with Johnson who wasn't, literally, there.

So there was no rebuttals to Bettel's words:

"I just want to repeat and remind that Theresa May accepted the withdrawal agreement," so don’t make the European Union the bad guy."

"People want clarity and as soon as possible. To speak of new delays just to postpone things is not in the interests of our citizens."

So, in two days, Hulk to the Invisible Man.

Who's the Chicken now, Prime Minister?

How bad would id Johnson's aides think the press conference would be, that pictures of an empty lectern was considered the better option?

Grim.
