Do or die

Johnson and Hunt are trying to outdo each other as to how hard they will be with Brexit, with Johnson stating that under him, the UK would leave the EU on 31st October, do or die, and challenged Hunt to swear to the same thing.

Hunt replied it would be a mistake to commit to a set date as circumstances might change. Like facts, for example.

But this is where the UK and Conservative Party is, contemplating to do what they think is best for the party rather than what is good for the country.

Recent polls show nearly 60% support for remaining and less than 40% for leave, and yet these number are reversed with Conservative Party members, with 60% of those wanting to leave wanting to leave with no deal, no matter the cost, to either the economy, jobs or union of the United Kingdom. In other words, Northern Ireland and Scotland leaving would be a price worth paying.

These are insane times.

Meanwhile, Trade Secretary has released a rebuke of Johnson's GATT Article 24 claim in a public statement.

Brexiteers will eat each other.

People's Front of Judea anyone?

Spliters.

What is clear that Johnson cannot debate without coming over as, useless. His description of painting buses filled with happy people out of old wine boxes was siezed upon by the media, but was just a distraction for the truth that he has no command of facts, or has a plan, either A, B or Z as to what to do. Repeating the same tactics used in the referendum when some journapists have actually studied what no deal means, and that GATT 24 is a smokescreen only meets with bluster from Johnson.

As does his assertion that the cost of the Garden bridge was partly due to the current Mayor of London, which was revealed to be another lie.

Lies and damn lies, and the people who lied three years ago must not allow their new, and old, lies to go unchallenged, and what they said about being no downsides, just considerable upsides, that we could have all the benefits of membership of the EU without the responsibility, that the German car makers and Italian prossecco makers would ensure their markets in the UK would be secured rather than the Single Market were as alse then as they are now.

As is the claim that a new PM could force the EU back to the negotiating table and then secure more favourable terms.

There is no one to negotiate with, as the Brexit team has been broken up by the EU, and the EU has said, over and over that the WA would not be reopened, and the UK signed up agreeing to that.

Otherwise, all is good with the "plan".
