Boris Johnson is misusing Article 50 exactly the same way Theresa May did.
But the news media are too stagnant to recognise that this even is a misuse.

We need to go back a couple of years when I was being exceptionally clever. Theresa May originally meant to subvert the Article 50 process and get a treaty renegotiation.

Obviously she failed. And that's when i started saying she was going to resign.

But she didn't resign, not then anyway. She decided to grind her way through two more arse-achingly tedious years of failure. And then resign.

Her real failure was when she couldn't bypass the exit exit agreement to get straight into a new treaty. That was her intention, but because no one figured that out nobody noticed when she failed.

Well, Boris Johnson has gone right back to square one and started the same thing again.
Now it's Boris Johnson trying to turn the Article 50 process into a treaty renegotiation.

And yet again the media has failed to understand what they're seeing.

Two prime ministers in a row have tried to subvert the Article 50 process to scam a new treaty. And it's not working, and it will never work because that is not what article 50 is for.

And the entire English media seem oblivious to this that's right in front of them.

Two prime ministers, one after the other, have now tried to misuse an international treaty, and threatened the security of the country in the process.

And I keep taking the piss out of English newsmen being a bunch of bare arsed hillbillies, because Christ alive, how can anyone not have understood all this that's happened in their face for the last three years?
