Thursday 31 October 2019

No explosive atmosphere.

Current ERG leader, Mark Francois VC, stated in the summer that the country would explode if the UK did not leave the UK in 31st October 2019.

I have just checked the BBC and Twitter, and there have been no riots, not even Fairly Secret Ones involving overboiled gammon.

Ahem.

The fact hat a third Brexit deadline is going to come and go makes a reality of the claims that there would be trouble, that Nige would take up a gun, to take the law into their own hands.

Nothing happened, except the clock continues to tick, and the fact that international law was changed to extend the A50 process, this would have meant that there was nothing Johnson could have done to stop it, the worse thing would have been that UK legislation would not have been ready.

International law would have been ready.

Makes me wonder what would have happened if Brexit would be revoked, would anyone really notice or care?

Alternatively, were there to be food/fuel/water/energy shortages, then maybe disorder would have been on the cards. The country would have just enough fresh food for tree days.

Operation Yellowhammer was stood down, and the M20 was fully reopened once again.

And UK companies which have now spent millions in preparations for three Brexit days, none of which happened, each one cots UK businesses millions of pounds. And now there is a 4th one to prepare for on January 31st.

But, Johnson can no longer threaten the leave with no deal if the UK doesn't get what it wants. Or he said the country wants. His bluff has been called and the emperor is naked again.
