Well I still have a few months before I can apply for it, so let's not cook uncaught rabbits. :)

... Fake saying to be funny, or?

I remembered something from HBO's Rome that I rewatched recently, it went something like "you are cooking rabbits that have not been caught".

In Hungarian this saying is "drinking on the bear's skin in advance"

Her replacement will be worse.

Tamas

Seeing how Rees-Mogg is not a (serious) candidate, the only real candidate that is guaranteed to make things worse than are now is Johnson, therefore, he will win it. The only constant in this Brexit drama has been a downward spiral, and all subsequent political events complicating things. If that trend is to continue for sure, Boris has to be our next PM.

I hope/guess, if we do see someone even worse than may then it might prompt more moderates into defecting or at least rebelling

Just watched May's resignation announcement speech. That crumpled cry(?) face at the end was so weird and so disconnected from the rest of her dull speech.

Pathetic. She deserves no sympathy. Especially that she calls for cooperation. Of all fucking people on the whole planet, she should not call for cooperation on anything.

And WTH put in her speech "burning issues" just before mentioning Grenfell?

Someone who hates her. Could be anyone.
