Christ, English news is dense.

Johnson signed a treaty, forced it through parliament with minimal scrutiny, and then boasted it up to the entire country.
Now he's saying he can't live up to it.
That is a resignation offence.
I want people to start doing their fucking job.
I want the opposition to start demanding Johnson's resignation. I want newsmen to start asking why he hasn't resigned.
Johnson negotiated a treaty, won a general election with it and put it into law. And now he is trying to repudiate what he did.
That is a scandal even bigger than Suez, and I want the opposition and the media in this fucking country to start treating it in an appropriate way
And let's be honest, the reason the opposition and the media are looking embarrassed and shuffling their feet is because none of them fuckers know how to sort Brexit out either.
I've got no more patience with the vanity of fools.
This country has massively fucked itself up AGAIN, and just like Suez by the bloated greed and self importance of ill educated public schoolboys
Sack Johnson, abandon Brexit and shut down your racist private schools

Englishmen, allow me to guide you to the right answer. It's so easy when you see it.
There are two sides in Northern Ireland who really don't like each other. One side wants to be part of Ireland, and the other wants to be part of Britain.
Easy
The answer is to not have a border anywhere. There wasn't one before, so keep there none.
Brexit. Who?
What's the actual answer? With two hostile sides each refusing one of the borders available, the answer is to have no border.
So what's stopping you?

There was an interesting conversation yesterday all about Franz Kafka's metamorphosis, and whether it had any merit.
So I read it again yesterday, and I've been thinking about it overnight. What does it all mean?
I don't think it means anything in the bureaucratic sense. It's not an allegory because it doesn't refer to anything in real life.
You could read ot that way, of course. You can read anything that way. But it doesn't look like it was written that way.
Oftentimes Kafka is in tune with what we know about the 20th century. We know about the secret police, the Mafia, the inaccessible powers.
But I've always wondered about that

The first thing the English fail to understand is that a constitution is a separate species of law.
The main problem you have to get over is middle class vanity. They think a constitution is the sort of thing Englishmen should have, so they assume they must have
A constitution is the highest rank of law that statutory law is subordinate. That if a statute is ruled to contradict the constitution the statute is annulled, even if it was passed by Act of Parliament.

Johnson has obviously accepted there's going to be a Scottish referendum. It can't be this year, and it has to be before the next general election in 2024.
That leaves 2022 or 2023
It always feels to me like it would need a year's planning and preparation. So to have it next year they'd have to start planning it now.
I suppose they could if they had to, but want to? I doubt it.
2023 seems right to me. But here's the thing.
The general election is 2024, and is Scotland had voted for independence the Tories would lose the election, and Labour would negotiate the separation.

No. The mistake the royal family is making and Gordon brown too by the sounds of it is to try and save the union by emotion.
But that only draws attention to the deficit
Y'see. The root of it is the massively unequal relation between England and Scotland. England has always been the dominant part of the union, and that means it has to conduct itself with self restraint.
What the English have abandoned is self-restraint. The Tories before Tony Blair and the Tories after Tony Blair are two different species. They share the same name, but they're not the same party.

The trade part of twitter and the political part of twitter are not quite wired up right.
The trade part of twitter is all about the practical business of crossing borders.
While the political part of twitter is all about borders in people's head.
If you see Brexit as nothing more than trade rules, it will always mystify you why it doesn't work.
But once you understand it as ideology and nationalism, you know it will never work because it can never satisfy the emotions driving it.
