The media is doing something wrong, but they don't want to hear it.
For three years they've been posturing that no one knows the future, and for the same three years I've been predicting exactly this.

The only thing I've got wrong is how stupid Theresa May would turn out to be, and how long it would take her to resign.
But apart from that, everything. It was easy because it was obvious.

That Theresa May would misuse Article 50 to try and get a new treaty. That Europe would never allow that. What Europe would agree would never get through parliament. She would no winning moves, and she would resign.
Which eventually she did.

And now Johnson is trying to do exactly the same as Theresa May just failed for two years. He is trying to hold the Irish border hostage so Europe gives him a new treaty.
Exactly like Theresa May did.

One by one Boris Johnson is repeating the same stupid postures as Theresa May. He's replaying her entire premiership in fast forward.
He has got no answer to the Irish border because there isn't one. The only choice Johnson has got is to ask for an extension or resign.
And as sure as we knew Theresa May was going to resign,m we know Johnson isn't. He will send the letter.

Once we get another extension, we're never going to leave. We never will. And then you've got to explain to everyone that we're not leaving after spending three years telling them we are.
The media has let this whole country down, and they should be angry. For three years the media has been telling them we're going to leave, and we're not.
If people had been listening to me they wouldn't be angry because they had three years to get used to the idea we probably wouldn't leave.
But the media has spent those three years telling them we would.

English journalism, it's just such a fucking joke. In three years they were incapable of telling the country what five minutes on the internet could have told them.
Keeping this country so fucking stupid all the time.

You need journalism in this country that is capable of discriminating valid information from bullshit, and at the moment it is not.
