Boris Johnson: don’t believe him when he says the EU is blocking a Brexit trade deal; he has been the obstacle, all the way down the line.
“Pass-the-buck” Boris is at it again!
It seems Boris Johnson is trying to hoodwink us into thinking the European Union’s refusal to compromise is pushing us towards a ‘no deal’ Brexit:
Boris Johnson has admitted the UK is currently heading for a no deal Brexit, with progress now “very difficult” as the two sides refuse to compromise.
In a new gloomy summary of the state of the talks, No 10 described an agreement as only “possible” – with a strong attack on the EU’s refusal to bend.
“An agreement is still possible and this is still our goal, but it is clear it will not be easy to achieve,” the prime minister’s spokesman said.
But isn’t it true that Johnson is the one whose refusal to compromise has put us all in this position?
Immediately after last year’s election it was reported that Michel Barnier had said it was “unrealistic” to expect a “global negotiation” on trade to be completed by December 31, 2020 – meaning it was known that we were unlikely to leave with a deal, nine months ago.
I wrote: “That will be exactly what Johnson wants, if he really is in cahoots with rich hedge fund managers who have been said to have funded his Tory leadership campaign on the condition that he take us out of the EU without a deal so they can profit from betting on it.
“And it will make it possible for Johnson to sell off our remaining national assets – including all those parts of the National Health Service that are worth having – to the United States in the dirty deal that many of us have been foretelling for several months.”
It’s all coming true.
And the 14 million people who voted for Boris Johnson were told it would happen and chose to ignore the warning.
An infinitesimal minority will profit from it – that’s the whole point of leaving without a deal.
But that leaves very nearly 14 million Tory voters who are going to spend a long, long time regretting their choice in December 2019.
