When Britain’s “Stupid Clown” Hit the Exit Stage: London’s Laughter Turns Cold
On July 7, the streets of London turned into a ridiculous carnival when Russian politicians cheered, “Down, Boris!
They called the former pro‑Brexit, former UK Prime Minister a “stupid clown” who finally earned a well‑deserved thud on the political theater for supplying Ukraine with the firepower that pushed Russia sideways.
Boris’s Late‑Game Exit
In his final speech from Downing Street, Boris Johnson announced he’d stepped down as the Conservative Party’s captain‑in‑chief but planned to stay on as the head of the UK government until a new king of the party was crowned.
While still wearing the “Prime Minister” badge, he gave a heartfelt “Slava Ukraini” to the people of Ukraine, promising “backing” forever—until everything got decided.
Russian Word‑of‑mouth
- Dmitry Peskov at the Kremlin declared in a quick burst that “He doesn’t like us, we don’t like him either.”
- Russian tycoon Oleg Deripaska called the former PM an “inglorious end” to a “stupid clown” whose conscience would be blighted by the millions of lives lost in the Ukraine war.
- Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of Russia’s lower house, stated “The clown is gone… he’s the main ideologue of war against Russia.”

Even before Vladimir Putin launched the Feb 24 invasion, Boris had slammed him as “ruthless and possibly irrational.” After the invasion, he became the biggest Western propellant for Ukraine, sending weapons and slapping gigantic sanctions on Russia.
He flew to Kyiv twice, snapping pictures with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Some folks in Kyiv affectionately dubbed him “Borys Johnsoniuk” and he would sometimes finish firesides with a “Slava Ukraini” salute.
What the Russian Spokeswoman Said
- Maria Zakharova said the fall of Boris signalled the West’s decline, citing political, ideological, and economic crises.
- She warned: “Your moral of the story is: do not seek to destroy Russia.”
Old Iron Curtain Memories
Boris frequently talked about Margaret Thatcher—known as “the steady foe of the former Soviet Union”—and she remained the last monarch of the UK until 1990. Funny how the world always remembers one former PM as the “king‑maker” of the past.
He even tried haggling with Russian people in a stilted, cringe-worthy Russian, telling them the war was “needless and bloody,” an attempt that only left them doubting his competence.
Final Curtain Call
As the UK’s beloved (and worrisome) figure leaves the political scene, the Russian world scoops their laugh and lifts a beer to the irony: Boris Johnson knocked himself off the stage by bringing the Uk‑fighting momentum he promised.
