Brexit back in crisis as UK threatens to undercut divorce pact

Johnson is famous for being uninterested in detail,  however it was his responsibility to have the WA thoroughly checked AT THE TIME, whoever he got to do it, he is the PM for heavens sake, he had the entire civil service at his beck and call. 

 

He signed the deal - it is part of international law - no point in trying to go back now and change it, that should have been attempted at the time if they wanted to. 

 

The sad whining from various Brexiteers here that the EU has not treated them fairly and thus the WA is void is beyond pathetic, and a pointless attempt to slide - like a slimy snake - out of the UKs obligations.

HE SIGNED IT! Full stop end of story. 

 

NOBODY LIKES TO DO DEALS WITH PEOPLE WHO CAN'T BE TRUSTED TO KEEP THEIR WORD. 

Our International reputation is being holed below the waterline.

 

Heaven knows how many more basic standards of International and domestic political decency have to be sacrificed to the great god Brexit. How much further down into the gutter are Boris and Co prepared to go to appease it. 

 

It now has that very worrying look about the whole situation that Cummings and his puppet have entered a mindless slash and burn stage. 

I bet it was checked. The problem for Boris & Co was that a major rewrite would have meant yet more extensions and delays - this already more than three years after the referendum. But it looks like that the tweaks that were achieved before the WA was passed and signed by BOTH sides may have been more significant than most think.

 

But you are right and it is bad form that we may be breaking international law. I would have preferred a complete rejig of the WA, rather than signing the present one, but how long would it have taken to agree on a new one? The EU were allowed (by May) to dictate the rules for the WA sequencing and content and that remains a big main problem. But they do like to be seen to be in charge, eh?

If Theresa May wanted to be honest then she should never have put her hat in the ring for PM after the referendum. That WA was basically written by the EU for the EU and she just strung along with it, hoping for a never-ending Brino. A remainer and totally useless to lead a serious withdrawal effort - perfect for the EU - she is the reason everything is even more screwed up now. 

Did she guide Boris hand for signing maybe ….???? come on he wanted to sell his victory to his sheep cattle voters …..that time …. and now  ...yes another U-turn …..the man is not reliable and fit to be to PM.

Why is Boris not fit to be PM, he has done everything and more that has been asked of him. The country voted to leave and Boris had the unenviable task of delivering the voters wishes, he turned a remainer parliament into a leave one, whatever you think of him he has worked miracles.

And can I suggest that the only people that think he is unfit to be PM are the Euros like yourself and our very own, who when formulating a post always wear a blue beret with a host of gold stars, and nothing you say to them will stop them batting for the EU, that's how it is.????

No the reason that everything is "even more screwed up now" is because we are led by a man who has no scruples and a disregard for international law.

 

I am definitely not a supporter of May. Indeed, she is probably one of the three most incompetent UK PMs in the past 80 years; unfortunately, the other two are 'Call me Dave' and Johnson.

The IM bill is to disapply the part of the WA that Boris renogotated.

Nothing to do with T.Mays WA that was left intact.

The fact is it was put to the country via a GE . Therefore as Brexiteers like to say it is the will of the people.

Au contraire Vogie. (see what I did there?)

After Johnson won the general election then for many of us on here the harder the Brexit the better.

We want the most damaging, the most divisive and the most acrimonious split from the EU possible. The ironic thing is Johnson is actually delivering for both of us what we want.

 

His latest stunt, threatening to renege on an international deal he himself signed is a stroke of genius. It will have irritated other EU nations and its leaders to the point where they will simply say "OK. You're not getting a deal". Remember for any deal to pass it would have to be ratified by each of the 27 members. At least one of them would throw in a veto. So no deal.

 

And when it comes to an independent Scotland applying for membership to the EU you better believe they will be receptive to the idea just in order to say "Git it right up ye Westminster". 

Brexit and Johnson has done more to convert Scots to independence than I or anyone else could ever have managed.

 

So take a bow Vogie. You and your fellow ardent Brexiteers are actually doing everything I want done.

You had your chance to have your 48% remain, the remainers chose not to take it, all it would have taken for Labour to have voted for Mays Brino deal, but the remainers were not happy with that and although leave won the referendum, the remainers wanted to fully remain in the EU.

So the remainers should acknowledge their own actions and take responsibility for not taken the chances you were given, it is too late now, you will have to accept the democratic decision of our country.

If there is a no deal you must accept the part you played in it.

Why would a remainer vote for any form of Brexit?

The clue is in the name. Remainer.

I find it sad and bewildering that you even have to ask that question.

 

Johnson has stated that he is prepared to break international law. Is that the behaviour you expect and support of our political leader?

 

If that wasn't enough (and it is), he has completely mismanaged the Covid crisis.

 

Johnson is unfit to sit in parliament let alone lead the government.

( "You had your chance to have your 48% remain " ) =   not me I was not in for this debacle????  , as I am just an observer you could say in that vote 

 

for the rest yes , the best is stop all and leave you brexiteers on foggy island by your own ,until the resistance take over there ….????

However first see how much a legal case now could bring in the E.U. coffers ????

Do the EU insist that the beret must be secreted upon ones person at all time, or do you only wear it when Ode to Joy is being played whilst giving a two finger salute like Wolf Cub.
