- feckless Conservatives
- furious Brexiteers
- cold-eyed man
- flintily ambitious Thatcherite
- vain, drawling member of Parliament
- earlier defector, the flailing, floppy-haired Boris Johnson
- half-crazed by his repeated failure
- their delusions or their demented desire for power
- tricked voters out of Europe
- people deliberately indifferent to facts
- Brexit fanatics
- craven politicians
- monstrous, preening egos

это пишет одна Jenni Russell, не стесняясь в выражениях. при чем тут drawling, хочем знать? и floppy-haired?

и вот заодно о том, как британские евреи смотрят на Brexit: Eighty years after Kristallnacht, why my family has become German again
