Friday Brexit

Is Brexit an event or a process?

Has Johnson, got Brexit done?

If so, why are Brexiteers and the ERG so darned angry?

Brext was always a process, and a process without end. But, also, there are events, gates through which the UK passes and it cannot return through.

The Withdrawal Agreement (WA), Northern Ireland Protocol (NIP) and Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) all helped get Brexit, the political part, get Brexit done.

Now the UK has left the EU, both politically and ecoomically, on terms the ERG and Brexiteers would have killed for five years ago. It was negotiated by Brexiteers, for Brexiteers, who ignored warnings of what they agreed to, and now the reality of the WA and TCA, they want to scrap it.

The DUP who also voted against May's deal, but who wanted Brexit, nw would rather the NIP be broken, so the GFA is also broken, the GFA which they never supported, but break it to support it is the logic we have heare.

Instead of dealing with the reality, they would rather break what they have, to make it even worse. Theirs are cries of betrayal, even when they got the Brexit they wanted, its not the Brexit they said they wanted, or they would have done it different and better.

Truth is, it isn't the remaners who won't move on and deal with the reality of Brexit, its the very Brexiteers themselves who can't move on, who are determined to fight today's battles with yesterday's arguments; alternative arrangements, technological solutions and so on. And these would be acceptable to the EU and Ireland, if the Brexiteers could prove they work. They have had five years to come up with solutions, and haven't.

There will be no moving on, as Brexiteers fight today with what they lst with last year, and the year before that. All the while, indistry and businesses will whither and die, the very Brexit they wanted, created the issues that is killing the country one job at a time. They still claim that the very consequences of Brexit is the EU punishing the UK or bullying, when they were warned month after month, year after year this would happen.

We hold all the cards they said.

They lied.

They always lie.
