Boris Johnson draws laughs and baffled looks at UNGA as his speech focused on 'limbless chickens' and 'pink-eyed terminators' instead of Brexit chaos
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaks during the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly on September 24, 2019 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.
He made no mention of Britain's highest court ruling earlier in the day that his decision to suspend parliament amid a Brexit impasse was unlawful. Before the suspension, parliament passed a law requiring Johnson to ask the EU to push back the deadline if no exit deal was agreed by October 19. "'Alexa' will pretend to take orders but this Alexa will be watching you, clapping her tongue and stamping her foot," Johnson boomed, suggesting "there may be nowhere to hide."
