One final note to those of you folk who passionately want Brexit and who think Johnson is on your side.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/2gvE3Pa8Gv/Boris_Johnson_battles

The story of Johnson’s role in the Leave campaign has been told too often to need much retelling here.

There were the two newspaper columns he wrote, one for leaving and one against. The friends (or former friends) like Roland Rudd, the financial PR man who now chairs the People’s Vote campaign, who told me bitterly how Johnson pledged his devotion to the Remain side shortly before announcing the opposite.

Sir Craig Oliver, then director of communications in Downing Street under David Cameron, testifies to a poetic text message from Johnson predicting Brexit would be crushed “like the toad beneath the harrow”, sent moments before he came out for the Leave side.


I've been saying this since before the 2016 vote. Brexit was ONLY, EVER about one thing. Johnson's career.

You have facilitated that. He's wooing you one last time. And when you've done the job for him, he will chew you up and spit you out.

And deep down inside, under all the arguments and the front, you know that, don't you? You know that you've been played by someone who utterly, utterly despises you.

Just close your eyes and ponder that for a moment before you vote.

BST - given he is the most duplicitous b*****d that I have even known in Politics (has there been ANYONE since 1966 that has been worse) ..... do you think he may Get Brexit done to "secure his legacy" and then jump ship leaving whoever takes the poisoned chalice to oversee the things he knows he cant deliver such as NOT selling the NHS Serivices bit by bit and blaming whoever takes over

Or not for the first time am I miles out ?

Still waiting for the release of the 'russian' enquiry and the Acuri self interest probe, will we ever get the full story or will the victors (re)write the history?

Johnson & his latest squeeze on the island of Mustique are staying at a villa that costs £40,000/wk
It has 4 swimming pools and an infinity pool.

Knowing this will no doubt bring joy to the hearts of his forelock tuggers in Donny & the right wing.fogeys in the home counties.

Rejecting the hospitality of his taxpayer funded British holiday mansion for that of the Von Bismarck family I notice.

Looks like at least one Tory has forgiven the Germans for 2 world wars, so maybe we will be staying in Europe after all...

Only if it's not swallowed up by the higher costs of trade with the EU.

The Govt can offset that by using the extra revenue generated by Tarriffs, there is only one looser in a Tarriff trade was that is the side with more to loose and that ain't us!.

Really?

44% of UK trade is with the EU
8% of EU trade is with the UK

Lets hope Johnson's maths is better than yours because that is an awful lot of UK jobs and tax income dependent on EU trade and not very many EU jobs or tax income dependent on UK trade.

https://fullfact.org/europe/uk-eu-trade/

Dont wait too long for the income from your tariff war either. The government has already said it will have 0% tariff on most imports after Brexit. Whereas the EU will impose tariffs on most UK exports unless there is a deal.

Sproty.

You don't seem to grasp who pays tarrifs.

It's not the seller. It's the buyer...

And both ways, importing and exporting.

Once again Sproty trots out the " tariff lie " that he , like many 100,000's have swallowed hook , line and sinker. The ONLY  loser with tariffs are those that purchase the most and that happens to be us the consumer in the UK

And how, exactly, is that an example of the government offsetting anything?

Apart from the obvious answer that it's nothing of the kind.

PS Do you seriously think Australia and New Zealand are still as stuck in the 1970s as you are?

PPS I've just looked up Australian beef prices. The 'cheap meat' seems to be a myth. Twenty years ago it was cheap - an average wholesale price of about £1.20 a kilo. Now it's about £4.60 a kilo. That's without transport costs, importing costs and everybody inbetween adding on their slice of profit on top.

On reading your post Glynn I went on line and found this

from The Irish Times

What is the new South American beef deal that will affect Ireland?
Mercosur deal has been accused for ‘selling out’ Irish farmers

Mon, Jul 1, 2019, 13:20 Updated: Mon, Jul 1, 2019, 17:38
Basically the Eu is attempting to buy beef from the Mercosur Nations, Brazil,Paraguay,Uruguay etc. This has cause concern in Eire where they will have to compete with Beef which is 50% cheaper per KG than Irish beef...
Thank you and goodnight!
