The Brexit Thread (topical thread)

[Brian Shanahan]

Wow - Boris resigned but, he's not out yet - he wants his party to choose a new leader.  
He says, "I've today appointed a Cabinet to serve, as I will, until a new leader is in place.".  
Twat.  

He didn't actually resign.  If you had the displeasure to read (or worse yet, sat through) his "resignation" speech, he never mentions his resignation once.  He just creenrawls at the MPs of his party for turning on him.

No fan of Cominic Dummings* but he's right in saying that BoJo the Clown is holding on in the hopes of something coming along to rescue him (I was going to say that BoJo was planning something, but that person neither had the cranial capacity nor the opposable thumbs necessary to plan anything).

*Personal nick name for Cummings, stemming from the time he leaked a ridiculous story to the media to the media that "two top Nissan executives" said that as a result of Brexit they were pulling out of their EU market to protect their much smaller UK one.

PS One thing that really irks me about the whole brexit joke in the English media is the constant call from commentators and btl commenters about "we can always just rejoin the Customs Union and Single Market." No you can't, idiots, there is one necessary condition for membership of both groups and its is, guess what, membership of the EU. We're not letting England back in for a long time and the best the English can do is make a customs arrangement similar to the one Turkey has where, in return for accepting EU product quality and safety rules, they get better access to some areas of the EU market. You're out, if you want back in, persuade us that you'll work a lot better than the last time you were in.
