Boris Johnson predicted Britain's status as an EU colony
Former British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has written an open letter to Prime Minister Theresa May, in which he spoke about the reasons for his resignation.
According to Johnson, he could no longer remain in government, realizing that his views on Brexit were not shared by the majority of the cabinet. He also expressed confidence that the UK is "definitely moving towards the status of a colony" of the European Union, as it assumes certain obligations, while not being able to influence the actions of the EU.
