Ah, yes! It's amazing what people can be fooled (tricked?) into believing..... To repeat myself: The day after we vote to leave we hold all the cards and we can choose the path we want. Michael Gove (9 April 2016) There will continue to be free trade, and access to the single market. Boris Johnson (26 June 2016) Getting out of the EU can be quick and easy – the ...
If you believe the EU negotiators were joking then you'll believe anything. Don''t forget arch-Remainer Treason May was PM at the time, she was trying to ensure we left the EU in name only.
It was a joke (obviously missed by some)
My abiding memory of the so-called negotiations is two of the EU negotiators caught on camera gloating that they had turned the UK into a colony: “We got rid of them. We kicked them out. We finally turned them into a colony, and that was our plan from the first moment.” ...
and on the subject of quotes - I've also found these. The day after we vote to leave we hold all the cards and we can choose the path we want. Michael Gove (9 April 2016) There will continue to be free trade, and access to the single market. Boris Johnson (26 June 2016) Getting out of the EU can be quick and easy – the UK holds most of the cards in any ...
We've wasted over four years trying to negotiate with someone who doesn't really want to negotiate. We should've walked in 2016.
And hasn't Bojo also said something about a No Deal scenario showing a lack of statemanship? (feel sure there's a quote somewhere - if I can find it I'll post it). Addendum: Found it! Seems that BoJo is saying that if there is No Deal then it will not just be the EU's fault but that of the UK's as well. “Like you, I’ve looked carefully at no deal, I’ve assessed its consequences both for ...
It's irrelevant, what matters is the outcome of the negotiations over the next four days. but as the EU has today hit the panic button to start contingency plans for no agreement being reached, that looks the likely conclusion.
There now seems to be a dispute over what exactly it was that Boris Johnson meant when, around about this time last year, he referred to having an 'oven ready deal'. Thoughts on this matter anyone?
@ Epicurus I thought the More On (Moron) guide was very good indeed and brought a smile to my face. The unfortunate thing about it is that it is true. There are far too many people around who have to be instructed in 'the use of common sense' and always blame someone else for their failures in life. Keep it up.
