The year is 2192. The British Prime Minister visits Brussels to ask for an extension to the Brexit deadline. No one remembers where this tradition originated, but every year it attracts many tourists from all over the world.
Has Johnson infected the whole far right with Liars disease? can none of them tell the truth?''Labour is likely to seize on comments by Steve Barclay, the Brexit secretary, in making its argument for a UK-wide customs union, after he was forced to admit the current deal would require businesses to complete export declarations for goods moving from Northern Ireland to the rest of the UK.Barclay originally told a Lords EU committee that it would not be necessary for businesses to make declarations. But five minutes later, he had to admit: “Exit summary declarations will be required in terms of NI to GB.”''https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/oct/21/tory-mps-reluctant-to-attach-customs-union-to-brexit-bill

How anyone can be in a position to hold a view on something that they have not read is a mystery to us all.That said, the presentation of information is subject to the dark arts. There is an interesting article by Peter Oborne on the media manipulation at the heart of the government operation;https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/british-journalists-have-become-part-of-johnsons-fake-news-machine/It becomes difficult to know how an issue is being presented until you know what has been left out.The Trump method is the new normal for the UK media.
fortunately, slowly, they are bringing themselves to admit , they were conned, and wrong.
They've probably got more time than responding to the petty insults for having a different opinion.....
And for those of you who don't know, Peter Oborne is a journalist with views from the far right of British politics.But, unlike most of the rats who are devouring the far right, his first allegiance is to truth and fairness. I have a huge amount of respect for him, even if I disagree vehemently with his political ideas. He's on the right side on the biggest issue of the age. Whether you value truth even if you lose, or whether you're happy to ditch it if it helps you win.
