I see he said in his Zoom call with Tory MPs last night that he "will not countenance the threat of a border down the Irish Sea".Which is odd because everyone who looked at the WA that he signed to such acclaim last year knew it was placing a border in the Irish Sea.And then he insisted it didn't place a border in the Irish Sea.Only two possibilities here.1) He's as thick as a bucket of monkey spunk.2) He's a liar.You choose folks. There is literally no other possibility.
Mea culpa ...... the only 2 Latin words not to have been trotted out by Liar Johnson
He doesn't want the party to return to ''miserable squabbling'' over brexit ........never disagree with anything is all? If the rest of the pack swallow this they'll swallow anything
I wonder if the MP for Don Valley is a yes man?
Depressingly, predictably we are finally at the end game.As some of us have been saying for 4 years, Brexit always had two core problems.1) You could have a Brexit that kept us economically close to the EU. That required us to agree to abide by the same economic rules. It would minimise the economic hit. It wouldn't cause a problem for NI, either with GB or with Ireland. But that wasn't acceptable to the red meat Brexit Death Cult because it meant we weren't fully independent of the EU.2) OK. So you could have a Brexit that much more severely cut us off from the EU. That would lead to big economic harm, however you dress it up. But let's park that for a moment, because there's a problem that some of us pointed out in early 2016, and which Johnson said "wasn't beyond the wit of man" to solve, and called "Project Fear". It was that if we in GB cut ourselves off from the EU, that left a massive problem in NI. Either NI followed GB in cutting ties with the EU. But that would mean a hard border with Ireland and went against the Good Friday Accord. Or NI stayed closely connected to the EU, but that meant a de facto border in the Irish Sea, and a partial separation of NI from the rest of the UK.There's no political opinion in the above. It's just a matter of really, REALLY f**king simple logic. But no-one and I mean absolutely NO-ONE on the Brexit side has properly engaged with that. Johnson dealt with it by taking Option 2 in the Withdrawal Agreement that he screamed was such a success. Then he lied through his lying teeth throughout the Election campaign, saying it did not require a border in the Irish Sea, when in fact the WA that he signed explicitly said precisely that it would. He did what he has done throughout his career. Acted impulsively under pressure then lied about it.Now.Now we are finally at the endgame. Time has run out. There's no more road down which to kick the can. No more time to bullshit and blather and ignore the logic of Brexit. It is staring us in the face. So what does he do? He screams from the pages of the Telegraph today that the EU is trying to break up the EU.He KNOWS he has led us into an utter f**king nightmare, aided by voters who refused to engage in debate above the "you lost:f**king deal with it" type when other people pointed these things out to them. And what he is doing now is a final go at making sure the Brexit Death Cult blame the EU for all the problems that we are now going to wade our way through.I cannot fully express how much I despise that man. He's done what he was always prepared to do. Burn the whole structure down and f**k up everything to get him what he wants.
The problem here is that we don’t have enough political commentators to hold these people to account anymore. Newspaper journalism has gone to the dogs. TV political journalism was being propped up by Andrew Neil who has now scandalously been dropped by the BBC, who seem to feel that a nice touchy feely approach is what we need (see bbc breakfast). Consequently these lying Tories are allowed to get away with peddling their bullshit on tv unchallenged!!
