What if it is the other way around Macho?
How on earth is anyone supposed to negotiate with us over the Leave terms.Johnson loudly announced last month that 15 Oct was the absolute deadline for finalising the terms.Now that date has come without a deal.And the talks just carry on as normal next week. How is anyone supposed to pay any credence to anything he says?
Who will be your new team lads, Hertha, Juventus, Real, or good old PSG, when you move to the promised land and leave the sinking ship?
Oh, hang on.That article that quotes Johnson as saying the talks are "over". A bit further down, it says Barnier is coming to London for talks next week.OK. NOW it becomes clear.There's a deal coming. It will mean us caving in to all the EU central demands. But there'll be a bit of icing on top to make it look a bit better for us. And Johnson will crow about that in his Poundshop Churchill style and say he went eyeball to eyeball with the EU and they blinked, because they knew he really would leave with No Deal if they didn't buckle.He's demanding a Canada-style deal [1].We won't get a Canada style deal.He'll crow that we've got a Canada-style deal.Exactly the same thing as happened with the WA negotiations.He insists we WON'T accept a border in the Irish Sea.He signs a deal that commits us to a border in the Irish Sea.He insists the deal he's signed means there won't be a border in the Irish Sea.Pound to a pinch of dogshite that is what happens over the next month. Last time, he was lauded as a conquering hero for such genius negotiating skills. I wonder if folk will be any more awake this time?[1] Course, back in 2016, no one ever dreamed of saying a Canada-style deal would be a good outcome. But hey-ho. Everyone who voted Leave knew exactly what they were voting for and anyone who suggests folk were bullshitted is an condescending Enemy of Democracy.
It's not really that much of a stretch of the imagination tbh.
What I do know is this takes our supposed breaking of EU laws on treaties to 37 pending cases, which puts us at the moment in tenth place behind 9 other EU members the worst offenders being Spain France Italy and Germany, Perhaps Syderney you would like to go over and spend some time trying to sort your cheating mates out.
