Guardian: 'Theresa May tells EU leaders: you are putting lives at risk over Brexit ' Guardian wrote: Theresa May has issued a stark warning to EU leaders that their citizens’ lives will be at risk if they fail to show more flexibility on Brexit, as she struggled to regain the initiative at a bad-tempered summit in Brussels. If I wanted a good example of projection, I'd go to the cinema.

has solved the Brexit Irish Question! ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! You keep Scotland in the customs union, and move the border to the mainland! Our King over the M4 wrote: That’s because NI would no longer be shut off from the rest of the UK, the situation that’s so intolerable to the DUP – instead it would be England and Wales that were effectively quarantined. The need for a hard land border on the island of Ireland could be avoided, replaced with one between Scotland and England which would have no implications for the Good Friday Agreement.

Apparently Theresa May’s grand plan is to basically obey all EU rules without being a part of the EU, which is surely just a shit idea. The Brexiteers are obviously up in arms about this, with cries of ‘sovereignty’ and ‘vassal state’, but they’re also massively pissed off that they can’t just destroy all rules, standards and regulations on stuff like food safety, which was their wet dream all along.

Heh. That's very clever. But of course, knowing Mr Johnson and co., they could always agree then backtrack as soon as they're heading back. Reminds me of one of my favourite political jokes about the former minister who sat in the back of his family car and wondered why it didn't start moving.

Ian Dunt's review of David Davis's reign pulls few punches. The opening paragraph could serve as a full summation of the situation: Quote: There are few projects a lifelong eurosceptic could treasure more than managing Britain's withdrawal from the EU. David Davis was given the most coveted role in the history of his ideology and he flunked it, at every stage, with a series of unforced errors based on his own ignorance of the thing he ostensibly cared about.

So in essence the rats are deserting the ship at this point. Well, Cameron was the first to go, cheerfully whistling to himself the day after he realised quite what the fuck it was he'd done. Davis was completely out of his depth (Ian Dunt skewers him superbly in the article linked above by Kern), so took his chance to fuck off, and now Boris done the same. Lying, incompetent, cowardly shower of cunts.

He should have been sacked for disloyalty (let alone incompetence) years ago. As for the Prime Minister, if she is defenestrated I really hope the Tory infighting keeps Mr Rees-Mogg away from the membership's leadership vote. Like Mr Johnson, he's someone who's spent years crafting an image to distract us from his real character and ambitions.
