He does look a little bit worried in that picture.

Probably taken when he was trying to get himself a German passport.

Must have been a worrying time for him.

Again these old-fashioned and irrelevant bluster.

It was Russia that defeated the Nazi army and the Americans who finished the work in Western Europe, mainly to block the Russians.

Without them you would probably be speaking German today.

This in no way detracts from the courage of your fathers who bravely fought the aggressor, like that of all resistance fighters in the occupied countries.

I agree that the UK - indeed, all countries - should look to the future.

 

Having said that, your comment is selective, incomplete and underplays the crucial contribution the UK made in winning WW2. 

 

I would agree that it is very unlikely that the Nazis would have been defeated without Russian and US involvement. However, you neglect to mention that the UK and its Commonwealth allies stood alone against the Nazis in 1940/41. If the UK had fallen during this period, who knows what would have happened? Perhaps, Germany would have broken its pact with Japan? Would the US then joined the war in Europe? Would Russia have been able to stand alone in Europe indefinitely?

Full of yourself again, and got it all wrong again. 

You said:  Now Johnson wants to remove his Northern Ireland Protocol from his withdrawal agreement. This will break the Belfast agreement as it effectively places a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic. 

This is simply not what the IMB says. Try get it right rather than drifting into your made up consequences, with which you hope to return to Project Fear. Well it didn't work last time round and it won't work this time.

 

 

The Internal Markets Bill is more complex than just abolishing the Northern Ireland Protocol; true. But that abolition is part of it, and that abolition would result in a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic. That may not break the wording of the Belfast Agreement, but it would break not only the spirit of the agreement but the interpretation every UK and RoI government and all other interested parties have placed upon it since it was signed 22 years ago.

 

Read Brexit: What changes is the government planning for the Northern Ireland deal? and be educated on the effects on Northern Ireland of Johnson reneging on his own agreement.

 

There is now a good chance that this will not happen, though, as it appears Boris is beginning to see sense rather than risk a humiliating defeat in the Commons. Brexit: PM in compromise with Tory critics over Internal Market Bill.

 

It's not perfect, but it's a start.

 

You should also educate

Yes, you are the one I need to educate first I think. You howl and wail about Boris reneging on the trick WA, when in fact he hasn't. The EU threatens to do though, through their own underhand tactics.

 

Regardless of that, I think he should ditch the whole thing as soon as the transition period is over.

Your blatant accusation that some members here are proto Nazis is shameful.

 

Particularly when one considers your comments elsewhere about dark skinned members of a certain religion makes it obvious that it is you and your ilk who given the chance would be rounding people up into camps pending a final solution.

To paint an even fuller picture you may want to add why Hitler was reluctant to invade the British isles, how he was holding out for the Brits to see sense and acknowledge that they actually had a lot in common. Hitler never seemed to fully realise why he was not accepted by the British establishment.

I remind you that Boris hailed the WA as his; saying it would get Brexit done!

 

I remind you that Boris prorogued Parliament because they wouldn't pass his Act to make it UK statute law.

 

I remind you that Boris fought and won an election based upon his WA getting Brexit done!

 

I remind you that Boris signed the WA in January with great triumphalism, loudly proclaiming, amongst much other bluster, that his WA would get Brexit done.

 

Are you now saying that he was tricked into all this by the EU? 

 

If he is that gullible then he is not fit to run a whelk stall, let alone a country!

Yes the trick WA, that May, the EU and Remainers thought would allow the EU to still control the UK. Well Boris saw through it. although he even took it through Parliament to get Brexit done, but still can find ways to override it. He's pulled it off, right before your very eyes and you are all now shafted.

 

Trade deals are still going on. The rest of the world doesn't care about the EU being shafted at their own game.

Looks reasonable to me.
