If Johnson thinks he can renege on his Brexit deal, he’s about to get a big wake-up call
Thumb up: but if Boris Johnson goes through with his stated intention to renege on his Brexit deal, the EU will probably tell him what to stick his thumb up.
Boris Johnson seems to think he’s the naughty boy of international politics.
You can just hear him: “Bah! I said we’d impose a border in the middle of the Irish Sea – but I didn’t mean it! What a jape! And what are they going to do? Don’t they know we’re British?”
That is precisely the point, of course.
Being British, he is in no position to go disregarding conditions of his Brexit deal.
If he does, he’ll lose something he wants – like… I don’t know… favourable terms on the continent for City financiers?
We were talking about that only last week, when it seemed likely he would sacrifice the UK’s fishing waters for a nibble at EU financial markets.
Now, it seems Johnson will throw the lot up in the air, just to pretend he told the Eurocrats where to go.
Even though he’ll be dumping himself – and all the rest of us – out in the cold.
Of course, there is another aspect to this – that Johnson wants to anger the EU.
Isn’t that the quickest way to the “no deal” Brexit that will (allegedly) pay back certain dodgy funders for their support in getting him installed as Tory leader – and PM?
