Boris Johnson has been elected new Conservative leader in a ballot of party members and will become the next UK prime minister.

He beat Jeremy Hunt comfortably, winning 92,153 votes to his rival's 46,656.

The former London mayor takes over from Theresa May on Wednesday.

In his victory speech, Mr Johnson promised he would "deliver Brexit, unite the country and defeat Jeremy Corbyn".

Speaking at the Queen Elizabeth II centre in London, he said: "We are going to energise the country.

"We are going to get Brexit done on 31 October and take advantage of all the opportunities it will bring with a new spirit of can do.

"We are once again going to believe in ourselves, and like some slumbering giant we are going to rise and ping off the guy ropes of self doubt and negativity."

    No, actually, I'm pretty fucking smart. I can name all the bits and pieces of the human female anatomy. Lots of guys are fucking stupid, and don't know one bit from another. Many are so fucking stupid, they don't even know their own anatomies. Fucking is more fun when you're educated. Where are you in the fucking intelligence spectrum? Do you know your labia from your taint?

    This is a weird sexual psychosis you've got. It does help explain the "fucking nazi retard" aspect.

        Complaining about partisan moderation? Are you going to claim that you don't engage in it yourself? If not, do you complain when the people on your side do the same?

    Why would I Kan Read need to know that? I's not like he's ever going to see any in his life.

    Where are you in the fucking intelligence spectrum? Do you know your labia from your taint?

    Let's not confuse terminology here. "Labia" is pretty formal language. "Taint" is weird slang that for some reason seems popular lately. If you asked "Do you know your labia from your perineum?" that would make more sense. Or, if you want to be vulgar, "Do you know your roast beef curtains from your taint?" at least it would demonstrate consistent type of language. Well, unless you're talking about labia minora, which seem to have a dearth of common slang synonyms. Which is really the problem with your post -- specificity. After all, "labia" is just a medical word for "lips." Technically, I assume you're talking about "labia pudendi," which are the "lips" located in the genital area. Most people also have labia on their faces too.

      Truth be told, I was about to type "cervix" where I put "taint". I thought that might require thinking too deeply for some of our fellow males, so I fell back to more shallow terms. ;^)
