Boris… BoJo…

The announcement of Boris Johnson, the UK Prime Minister didn’t come as a shock to those who follow the UK news. The press had a field day with headlines following the announcement.

The British newspapers have a long history of having excellent headlines, here is a sampling:

• “Summer of discount tents” — Consumerism and the great outdoors
• “The banned played on” —Musicians defying the Taliban
• “Amo, amas, a mouse mat” — Latin language
• “From the ladle to the grave” —Dinner ladies and pensions
• “I fed the newts today, oh boy” — On John Lennon
• “Zhumaskaliyev stuns Serbia for make benefit glorious nation of Kazakhstan” —A nod to Borat

“scandal noodle”
