Seems cheap compared to what the likes of our ex managers got, worth every penny to get him out of No.10

How utterly odious is Johnson. Cinncinatus ?
To be quoting latin and Roman history in his leaving speech, shows just what he thinks of the plebs.
You are utterly stupid, I’m clever as. You will bow to my intelligence and wit. My failures will be forgotten, because you are stupid.
He was removed because the rules were changed. What utter deluded dross.
Rees Mogg and Ken Clarke in drag, turned up to applaud his abject failure and then get appointed to the new cabinet.
The cult of evil people is still in control of this country.

Fervent fans keep faith with heroes even after ‘immoral acts’, study finds
Analysis of posts from thousands of social media users either side of a scandal – the dramatic fall of YouTube celebrity Logan Paul – shows how hard it is for
They all get it (ex PMs). I believe they'll also get a pension too. I seem to recall Blair also getting support with security costs (might be imagining it)
That's right, scrounging off the hard working british tax payer for doing no work. Lazy beggars.

in memoriam - 1965-2024
Ex PMs, even if they are in office for a week, get a full pension, (as if they had been in office for ever), which is guaranteed for life.
The reason is ancient, but some PM eons ago was penniless once he left #10, and the powers that be didnt think was a good look. Brown hasnt drawn his pension since he went.
MP's always slow to punish themselves i see.
Anyway from all on here, well 99.99% good riddance Boris you massive tit.

Cincinnatus?
He can't bloody help himself, can he, the absolute narcissist?
Cincinnatus returned to power for a second time as a dictator, which is why Johnson chose that analogy. To keep the speculation going.
He really is the absolute worst.

Indeed, and of course it says everything about the sad state of classical knowledge in the UK nowadays that he was able to make that analogy without being laughed at. Cincinnatus was the exemplar of the "good noble" - the man who ruled fairly, didn't enrich himself or his followers from the state's coffers and who worked hard in (relatively) manual labour before and after his rule.
There are very few people in Roman history less like Johnson than he; literally the only thing the two beings have in common is that they are both male.
As an aside, if we are looking at classical era politicians most like Johnson then here are my three:
Demosthenes
P. Clodius
Bibulus
Caligula.

gets a pass because he was at least mentally ill, and inflicted more harm on his family than his country
I don't know Boris has inflicted terrible harm to his party..
