I really cannot argue with any of this; the only thing I would add is that Johnston et al have done an extremely clever and effective job in getting the poor and oppressed to feel a sense of 'ownership' of the Brexit debacle - even though the acknowledged 'bumps in the road' will adversely affect them most and the drivers of Brexit least!
That is also why I have a problem with the 'Pretorian Guard' who assertively proclaim the perceived 'prize' of the 2016 referendum.

Brexit is broadly the same reason that of the 4 European countries that took over the world (China and Japan aside) the British Empire became the biggest one ever - English arrogance, bluster, racism, xenophobia, entitlement, inherent superiority, bull****, divide and rule and Johnny Foreigner knowing his place. It's all here now with Brexit too.

There's a perfectly simple and obvious solution to the Irish border. Johnson, Rees-Mogg and their chums from school know it. Dublin knows it. Brussels knows it. Johnson, Rees-Mogg and their chums from school are amazed that it hasn't been suggested by the pesky Irish and Johnny Foreigner in Belgium, but they're still assuming it will be. The solution is that the Irish and The EU did not go to Eton College or Oxford University, they're not English and therefore they need to remember that they need to know their place and show some respect.

No, but you would say that because unfortunately you are stereotypical of the working class tory that will elect these utter fkcwits regardless of reality.

To elaborate a little, nobody is running away from an election - it's just that if one was held on BoZo's terms, he could call one for 17th October, then move the date unilaterally so that it falls after the 31st. Absolutely nobody trusts him, not even people in his own party. Look at the way they talk - apparently they won't break the law but, er, they won't ask for extension either (even when that becomes law). Bozo and his lying, self serving, cowardly front bench are a disgrace.


What will be interesting is the Labour Brexit position once an election is called, which will happen after 31st October.

Whilst I agree with the majority of the above I’m not sure you adding the snide comment about working class Tory, unless of course you’ve met BG and he’s well known to you in person?

Haha.... funny and true!

Oh damn it I started read your post expecting I was going to get a sensible solution to the back stop! I can but hope.

You really do like to take offence to absolutely everything these days. Actually that's not quite true - you have no problem with people like ppf talking about "wooly liberals on here telling everyone else what they should think" and stuff like that, but heaven forbid any of those liberals "accuse" a brexiteer of being a working class Tory like it's some personal afront.

And I don't need to know him in person, he has given enough of himself on here to be able to form that opinion, and thus my comment wasn't remotely snidey.

Yougov is Tory owned though isn't it, it's in their interests to force this election.

Co-founded by Nadhim 'In business you have to be prepared to walk away from a negotiation, so that's why no deal, absolutely, has to be on the table' Zahawi MP.
