So much for get Brexit done


Just wait for the EU to walk away and throw blame around

why am I not surprised
 
Not only is this clip worth watching again, for the breath-taking lies, but also for the speed with which Johnson loses the (presumably self-selecting) room as soon as he starts using terms like quotas and tariffs. The almost instant body repositioning, resort to phones and general looking around shows how engaged folk were/are with the actual mechanics of the unwinding from the supra-state.

It's virtually all in the affective domain, isn't it?

 
Wonder if the establishment forces that have covered Johnson's arse thus far will continue to suport him if he pushes us all off a cliff now. I'm sure if they do turn on him it will be with zero acknowledgment of the fact they are directly responsible for everything he is and eveything he has done.

The EU won't be the one to walk away. They don't want to be seen as having pushed Britain over the edge, and in any case, they can afford to be patient. It's Johnson who's facing a political shit-storm at home irrespective of whether a deal is done or not. They can afford to hang things out and keep him wriggling on his own hook.

If he’s weighing up shitstorms he’s got to be thinking that a deal however crap is better than none. Nobody cares about the details, if he can announce a great triumph and also not have empty fruit & veg sections in supermarkets he’ll just do that won’t he? Some people will complain that it’s not the proper brexit they ordered but they’d probably find a way to sing that song of betrayal anyway.

Don't bank on it:
Leading the polls today
Successfully stuck it to the EU
Got Brexit Done
Fought hard for a deal
Great brinkmanship
Nationalist press jubilant
Victory bounce
Shit moaning opposition
Five more years!
...just as likely an outcome
