Boris Johnson: Americans send sympathies to UK over new prime minister | indy100 | indy100

Boris Johnson is to be the next prime minister of the UK, and though he won on a fairly significant majority vote from the Tory party, the rest of the UK are divided – and Americans across the pond are sending their commiserations.

There have been comparisons made between US prime minister Donald Trump and Johnson, including their anti-immigration stance and past racist comments, as well as the controversial nature of their premiership.

And because it’s the internet and there’s a meme for everything – there’s also a meme for this.

Lots of US citizens have taken to Twitter with letters addressed to UK citizens, like this one by Jake Maccoby:

Dear UK citizens:
We get it - we didn’t vote for our guy either.
Sincerely,
US citizens

Dear UK citizens: We get it - we didn’t vote for our guy either. Sincerely, US citizens
