Dr Gloom 21813 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) where are the sunlit uplands? the free trade deals when the shackles are finally unleashed and britain can take her rightful place in the world stage as a truly, global nation? the truth is there are no sunlit uplands. we can't even rely on a lifetime's supply of GM crops and chlorinated chicken. there is literally nothing to be gained from no deal, particularly if we can't even pass a trade agreement with trump's america. does johnson really want to oversee it? i doubt it. it's bluster. he'll bottle it, just as may did.

ewerk 30266 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 There's no longer any talk of sunlit uplands nor have we heard much about the will of the people of late. It's moved on to how it will be the end of the Conservative party if they don't deliver Brexit and seemingly no one questions how utterly moronic that is. Make no mistake, 90% of the Tory party are happy to watch the country burn as long as they get to reign over the ashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30266 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Which is why we've seen them pivoting recently to blaming the inflexible EU. Some will be taken in by it but not anyone with any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21813 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 i just still can't believe that after craving power for so long, johnson would piss it all away by being the one to oversee a catastrophic no deal. i might be wrong, but when the shit gets real i think he'll shit his pants just like may did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a minimum time duration you need to be in office to get your portrait on the Downing street staircase? His best be for prolonged power is to call a GE very soon and campaign on an unambiguous no deal ticket, to neutralise Farage (or have a pact with him). That would be borderline psychopathic behaviour but would not surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30266 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Theresa May managed to box herself in with her inflexible red lines, Johnson seems to have managed to do it on an even bigger scale with his demands to dump the backstop. It’s terrible politics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is, getting a trade deal with a Trump US is not worth the paper it is written on, given that he will not give any favourable terms whatsoever. The CAP will be like a pipe-dream after we enter into a US trade deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
