Batshit crazy

Just when you think the country couldn't sink any lower, it does.

After threats last week to turn boats back to France if the enter UK waters, yesterday off the coast of Deal, an exercse took place where officials in jet skies "tried to push back" an inflatable filed with people.

The Government either intend to actually do this, or is bluffing.

Turning away refugees mirants is against one of the UN charters and an abuse of a fundamental human right.

If carried out, it could open the way for the Home Secretary be prosecuted for manslaughter at least. As a former member of the Armed Forces, it is my belief that being commanded to do such an act would constitute an illegal order and personnel would be within their rights to refuse them. But not sure how that would pay out with non-military personnel.

Video of Michael Gover dating from 1987 badmouthing northerners, gays and poor people in general. The questions to be asked here are:

1. who released the audio?

2. And why?

More political backstabbing going on in Downing Street. Remember Gove killed JOhnson's previous bid for leadership of the COnservative Party, less than two hours after it was launched. Such acts would never be forgotten.

And Sir David Frost was speaking in the House of Lords, saying how bad the NIP was and needed renegotiation, and if the EU dodn't agree to do just that, the UK would invoke Article 16 and suspend the NIP. He should have strong words with whoever it was negotiatiod the NIP. A certain Sir David Frost.

I will repeat myself again here, the UK needs to live up to the commitments it signed up to under international law when it ratified the WA and NIP and later the TCA. If one side is threatening breaking the cirrent terms, they probably would the renegotiated terms too. At some point, a line has to be drawn, and I don't think the EU will budge far, even if they wanted to.

Brexiteers, Johnson and Frost see such concessions as weakness and encourages them to make ever more demands.

The UK either will or will not abide by the NIP, a simple choice, but with profound implications for politics in Britain and NI.

And, of course, this is all down to Brexit itself and the terms of the deal so negotiated.

The won, they should deal with it.
