Congratulations

To all those that "won" on 23rd June 2016

I am going to chronicle the glorious path from that glorious day

To the sunlit uplands we are now experiencing

I am so glad that

"Kill the CBI" wasn't done

They speak for 190,000 businesses in the UK

It would have been quite an effort to round up that many businesses and execute them - not sure by what means - firing squad, lethal injection, electrocution?

cbi.org.uk/about-us/?utm_…
Here's Dominic also making it clear what "won" it
So sorry here's the other video of that celebration

So let's start our timeline chronicling the glorious sunlit uplands on the 24th June 2016

The morning after
24th June 2016

Boris Johnson and Michael Gove appear looking absolutely delighted and happy at their victory

chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas…
24th June 2016

"Mr Gove also sought to adopt a different tone to the one he used during the campaign, in which he had to apologise for comparing economic experts warning about Brexit with the Nazis who smeared Albert Einstein in the 1930s."

chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas…
A different tone

See also - where Michael actively sought out a "Fellowship of Experts"

civilserviceworld.com/professions/ar…
He was on a journey

24th June 2016

Boris Johnson and Michael Gove lodge their plan for brexit in the House of Commons library

Public copies of it are also printed to be posted on every notice board on every town hall up and down the land
24th June 2016

See also Dominic Cummings on "a plan"
24th June 2016

Conservative MP's gather at the foot of Big Ben weeping openly

Their little union jack flags and hats glinting in the morning sun

They start chanting for Boris Johnson

They raise their voices

Strong Britain, Great Nation

So to say

Boris Johnson basks in their acclamation by proclamation and accepts the role of First Lord of the Treasury (to his text message mates)

To the rest of us the "People's Prime Minister"
24th June 2016

No sooner is Boris welcome to the Number 10 residence

Than a grateful nation line up at his door in a Challenge Anneka freebie to donate their own £££ resources & time to decorate his residence to a standard befitting a "Lion King"
He can't live in a shit hole after all

Neither can his partner

At the very least wipe clean covers on the sofa are needed

For the red wine stains

Not Jennifer
24th June 2016

Whilst this decorating is getting under way

German businesses had marched to the office of the Chancellor and ordered her and the remaining EU27 nation states to immediately knock on the door of No10 to gift the UK a deal surpassing that they had as members
After all

A reminder of what "we bought"
24th June 2016

Boris Johnson has barely had time on his first day in office to be chaffeured down to Chequers and enjoy the grace and favour residences to the fullest extent possible

The EU arrive with their white bit of paper

Boris accepts their papers & "gets brexit done"
Big Ben will be repaired to allow it to ring to celebrate the birth of "open global Britain"

See how well a crowdfund went for that in an alternate timeline

24th June 2016

You are of course going to ask - whatr happened to those many solutions to the NI border

Boris Johnson looked the EU surrender delegation in the eyes & gave them the word of the First Lord of the Treasury that the UK would provide those solutions

@PennyMordaunt
2021 5 years of the lies of:

Unspecified technology
Drones
Blimps
Radar
Blockchain
Alternative arrangements
Max fac
Incite Irexit
Threaten to starve Ireland
24th June 2016

The Bank of England stands ready to pump £250 billion in to the economy to minimise brexit damage

forbes.com/sites/antoineg…
But hey I know, I know

All this panic is because David Cameron did not do a plan on how to "Leave"

Holy suffering fucking

THe level of that bullshit

Boris Johnson and Michael Gove said they had a plan

Dominic Cummings said no plan exists
No wonder Dominic Cummings tests his eyesight so much - he is busy searching for the reasonable people

Here's a reminder

of the Civil Service

And their inability to prepare for an outcome

Because there was no plan

So that is

Michael and Boris - we have a plan

Dominic - no plan is possible

Civil service - there is no end state
As part of this the Governor of the Bank of England stresses just how many factors of contingency and preparedness the banking sector has put in following the global financial crisis

Oh sorry - my bad wrong link

theguardian.com/world/2020/apr…
Oh see also

blog.gdi.manchester.ac.uk/decade-of-aust…
David Cameron's mum and aunt were right

theguardian.com/politics/2016/…
July 2016

Andrea Leadsom and others who said there would be damage from brexit

Now class it as a "correction" to sterling

"pound-to-dollar rate fell to its lowest point in 31 years, the Tory leader hopeful described the dramatic fall as "good"

ibtimes.co.uk/tory-leadershi…
"Those numbers offer a sharp contrast to the situation in the UK, where the economy has been slowing as the impact of inflation, stemming from the steep fall in the value of sterling in the wake of the June 2016 has eroded households’ incomes."

independent.co.uk/news/business/…
Oh yes and see also the impact of brexit on food prices
Oh yes also

Note this one: not that crops will rot

But that *more* crops will rot
Oh yes and here are some farmers

See Jacob Rees Mogg

"Forecasts of what may happen are fundamentally unreliable. In the history of economic forecasts both in this country & across the world, there is one thing of which we can always be certain: that they are wrong & that the outcome will be different."
"In a “post-mortem” project, the OECD examined the accuracy of the economic forecasts it issued between 2007 and 2012, a period of seemingly endless economic turbulence. The study reports that, in general, the OECD tended to be too optimistic"

oecdinsights.org/2014/02/12/how…
Here's Jacob Rees Mogg on that brexit dividend of £350 million a week and that red bus
August 2019

Here's a reminder of the BOE actions

Reductions in interest rates
and
£60 billion of cash pumped in
and
£100 billion of stimulus schemes

Andrea must be really annoyed that the BOE were so pessimistic

reuters.com/article/us-bri…
Oh here is one of Andrea's colleagues

Oh yes and see also (in 2021)

Oh yes and see also

"forecasts shortly after the referendum were fairly accurate over the medium term, but not from year to year."

fullfact.org/economy/how-ac…
Oh yes and see also the thread below

Whther it is 1 item or 1000

Why do you accept the damage brexit has done to the UK?

I don't need to hear

Oh be optimistic
Oh stop talking the country down
Oh project fear
Oh despite brexit
Oh global trends

Oh as of 22nd June 2021

He is up to item 635

Anyway sorry for the diversion there

Let's get back to our timeline and stop being so "pessimistic"

September 2019

David Davis starts negotiating free trade deals with more countries than exist in the world

All of these deals will be ready within two years
Liz Truss was going to help David Davis but all she had was insulting other countries and threatening to be unkind to them so David kept her off the team

After all

Liz is pretty clueless at explaining policy even with basic questions on her constituency

EU citizens

Not to worry you are not going to be used as "bargaining chips"

You don't need to worry about being a "main card"

theguardian.com/politics/2016/…
The UK retains its access to and business opportunities with the Galileo project

thesun.co.uk/news/5906949/b…
The UK is maximising its potential for space research work

"Countries are pouncing on space work originally destined for the UK like a “feeding frenzy of hyenas” according to a selection of representatives from the UK industry and education sectors."

theregister.co.uk/2018/03/16/bre…
The UK is not threatening to starve Ireland

thejournal.ie/brexit-threat-…
The UK is not talking about invading France

independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
Mogg would like that

He glories in victories after all
The UK is not talking about using foreign aid as an extortion tool to assist british trade deals

independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
The UK does not have to use security and policing cooperation as a threat

After all - that would be a gift to terrorists right

huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/theresa-…
The UK doesn't have to call the french turds

politico.eu/article/boris-…
The UK doesn't have to call our neighbours POW guards

standard.co.uk/news/politics/…
The UK doesn't have to talk of european tyranny

cyberboris.wordpress.com/2016/10/02/bor…
Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party do not have to vote for a treaty that no unionist could supporter

Nadine Dorries does not need to worry about ever understanding the customs union

Boris Johnson never has to worry about having to fight to try and gain exclusive access to his grace and favour residence against David Davis and Liam Fox

theguardian.com/politics/2016/…
Neighbours never ever have to worry about how they will be attacked in the press in response to them calling the Police at concerns of fighting at the residence of Carrie Symonds & Boris Johnson

theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
---------
Oh yes here's an example of domestic abuse service cuts under Tory rule

Still Theresa May comes out with her shite

We would never have had Marcus "yada yada yada" Fysh having to lose his temper on twitter

somersetlive.co.uk/news/somerset-…
Anne Marie Morris MP never needs to come out with

"Now we get to the real n****r in the woodpile which is in two years what happens if there is no deal?"

devonlive.com/news/devon-new…
We would never have had Andrew Bridgen and him having to understand how people get an Irish passport

independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
The full 7 minute interview with Andrew

Judges never have to worry about being labelled "enemies of the people"

legalcheek.com/2020/06/why-ju…
Civil servants never have to worry about being labelled traitors or remoaners

Its bad enough they have to deal with the "unintentional frustration" from Priti Patel

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
We don't have to demonise the "global elite"

Theresa May never has to attack "citizens of nowhere"

Yup that lying racist charlatan has form

Her worst was never ever about wheat fields

civilserviceworld.com/professions/ar…
Boris Johnsonn doesnot have to fire any members of staff for being whistleblowers on the electoral cheating of the Vote Leave campaign because naturally he fired the electoral commission as soon as becoming PM

crowdjustice.com/case/brexit-wh…
In fact Boris and his team were so busy cracking on with leaving on 24th June 2016

They never even had to delete the evidence of their campaign

metro.co.uk/2016/06/27/why…
Michael Gove does not have to say that members of the catholic faith who care about the common good are a threat to brexit britain

I wonder

Would you be ok if he said that about a Jew, a Sikh, a Hindu, a Muslim, an atheist ?

Why is caring about the "common good" a bad thing?
We have the happiest fish

Oh yes see Jacob Rees Mogg also on "common sense"

Oh yes here's also a reminder

That red bus that was a lie

Yes it was a promise

And yes the figure on the side was a lie

So two lies

The contempt those who used the bus had for those who fell for it infinite

Here is Jacob doubling down on that bus
We have the happiest fish

Yet sadly we have the unhappiest brexit party MEPs

Prime Minister Boris Johnson does not have to make himself be out of the country to avoid a vote on Heathrow extensions

inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
Why of course by now Boris Island has already been commissioned and ground has been broken on bringing that conception of the Prime Minister's to fruition
See also: a garden bridge

See also: a bridge from Scotland to NI

See also: a bridge from Wales to Ireland

Our friends await us being ready to trade deals with them

Here is Boris' lies being disassembled

lbc.co.uk/radio/presente…
And since David Davis is managing it - Liz Truss does not have to insult people or threaten them with an uncomfortable chair

smh.com.au/world/europe/t…
Just wait until we negotiate with America
Liz was right

she is unable to explain how any deals will be better

The *ONLY* way she can make them look good is by comparing them to No deal

You remember - that one where we were told no deal was better than a bad deal

our deals only look "good" in reference to no deal
Lord Frost discovered 5 years too late that negotiating with the EU was not the "easiest deal in history"

Obviously he never read David Davis' book on how to negotiate

theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
In fact Lord Frost is so desperate he is seeking someone to come up with good brexit benefits

I don't know why he doesn't just hire Kate Hoey

Scottish Tories don't have to struggle like this in interviews

thenational.scot/news/19135059.…
Andrew Bowie MP has form

Boris Johnson and his party do not have to lie to the Queen to unlawfully prorogue the mother of Parliaments
Matt Hancock does not have to live up to this promise

Hancock referred to war veterans saying that proroguing parliament would go against “everything that those men who waded on to those beaches fought and died for”, adding: “And I will not have it.”
Sajid Javid doesn't need to try and explain why they disagree with the unlawful prorogation of Parliament

Other senior Conservatives also don't need to take a stand

theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
Boris Johnson and his party do not have to break the law in a very specific and limited way around the NI Protocol

M. Thatcher

“Britain does not renounce Treaties.

Indeed, to do so would damage our own integrity as well as international relations.“
Oh also Margaret Thatcher 1963

"The Prime Minister is a man of the highest integrity and honour and should not, therefore, suffer for someone whose standards were not as high as his own.”
You can look at the Farage Garage franchise that has taken over Kent

Its now autumn 2016

Boris Johnson enjoys a well deserved holiday with his partner
It's now winter 2016

Boris Johnson enjoys the welcome donation of free holiday villa in Mustique in which to enjoy sunshine whilst the UK languishes in winter
In fact Boris Johnson not only gets the advantage of holiday resorts for his use

And his residence decorated by a grateful people

But he also gets his home takeaways provided by party donors
Boris Johnson gets to coast for the rest of the parliamentary term 2015-2020

He of course spends a lot of time at Chequers

Writing his book on Shakespeare

Oh and sorting out the divorce from his soon to be ex-wife so he can marry Carrie
He has got brexit done

And now basks in the radiant glory of the sunlit uplands

And the Conservative Party merchandise celebrating that is doing so well

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…
Boris declares the 23rd of June to be an annual bank holiday to celebrate brexit
The brexit dividend being so bountiful - particular where Jacob Rees Mogg's figure of it is realised

The national lottery does not need to fund a new non-royal yacht

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Joking of course

Apparently the MOD is going to pay for the *procurement* process of the non-royal yacht

But not the purchase or the maintenance, staffing or operation of it

Maybe the dividend got lost down the back of the sofa

dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-…
Boris dips in and out of events as is his way, anything that involves flag shagging or wearing branded clothes usually guarantee a turn out for him

Particularly if its to help Tory consituencies - after all Robert Jenrick is so kind at fixing up the Towns Fund to help his party
The touring FUK sorry Festival of the United Kingdom has an entire section dedicated to our Lion King, our People's Prime Minister

The lesser characters in the play don't feature much be it Gisela or Michael or Dominic or Farage and his rabble
He dips into foreign affairs briefly to receive the accolade of how did he put it

Oh yes

"It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies;"
Those busy flag shagging for brexit and cheering on CANZUK or the Commonwealth to shovel on their shite well

On Australia

On India

On CPTPP

"Official figures have shown that the potential benefit to the UK economy from a proposed partnership with Asian countries is less than one-fortieth the expected losses from Brexit."

independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
On America

Well this is what Trump was going to do to the UK

cnbc.com/2016/12/27/bre…
Well we dodged that "grab" there

Good thing we didn't have a POTUS with an "ancestral hatred of the UK"

God can you imagine what that would be like

Instead

A weak desperate enfeebled country will sell on any shite
Oh yes and also

Channel 4 Dispatches

In an interview with the programme, one of Trump’s former top trade negotiators Stephen Vaughn said he doesn’t understand what Boris Johnson means when he says the “NHS is not on the table”

channel4.com/press/news/tru…
You can look at the harm to

Defence

To science and technology - although naturally brexit bullshitters will go full tilt at flag shagging there

To farming

To fishing (we have the happiest fish though)

dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…
We had to fling comfort letters at car manufacturers

independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
a reminder of that time Vote Leave illegally used company logo's on their literature
Now this from @Juliahb1 is fascinating

The "general view was there will be a fudge"

No - Vote Leave said they had many solutions

Now pissing on the union has been justified as a "price worth paying"

You see I cannot lie to myself as much as Julia does

Nor could I lie to you if I was to sell brexit

The question is why does Julia

And the answer is simple
You can never admit or own that brexit was sold with cheating, with lies, with racism, with xenophobia, with islamophobia, with nativism, with simplist cake peddling fantasy nonsense

You must always lie to the buyers
How brexit was sold

Was a choice

It did not have to be sold that way

Those who *chose to sell* it that way

Those who *permitted* those sellers to ply their con as a "price worth paying"

This is on you

You conned your victims

You had contempt for them
As Margaret Thatcher put it

"The manner of winning is a matter of honour."

Well

Those who sold it

Had none
All you need to do is look back

At how one woman was demonised for her choice in that referendum campaign

No not Jo Cox MP murdered by the febrile atmosphere incited brexit

But Sarah Woolaston MP who could not stand by a red bus built on lies

devonlive.com/news/devon-new…
And she was branded a traitor

Ask yourself

Amongst all the abuse piled at her

Not one Leave supporter could actually play the ball

Thatcher said something about people like that
So if you want to read more about the contempt that those who sold the shitshow of brexit had for you

About the lack of respect & honour they themselves had

If there is one thing Leave and Remain voters agree on

It is that leave lied

It is how you *justify* that leave lied
And now we turn to where we have got to now

The same cheating lying racist corrupt incompetent charlatans who sold you brexit

Sadly

Were in charge during a pandemic

Imagine exploiting your own dead citizens for brexit

June 2020
Well never again ask what happens when you elect an amoral cheating lying racist corrupt incompetent government of charlatans to govern in a pandemic
And we can all laugh at Matt "totally fucking hopeless" Hancock

But please don't

It is not funny

It is tragic

It is deadly

And it is all at the heart down to one man

This is Boris Johnson
imagine someone had said the same of Churchill

e.g.
A reminder of Boris Johnson and Churchill

So 5 years into brexit

Well done brexiteers

You "won"

Your cheating
Your lies
Your racism
Your fantasy bullshit
Your corruption

You "won"

No one can ever take that away from you
So as I wrap up I am going to leave you with two threads

One where I focus on Boris Johnson specifically and why he is an inspiration

And one where I focus on coronavirus

But before I do

I want to assure you

I do not pick on Boris unfairly
I also write on others

Like Michael Gove

Like Priti Patel

Like David Davis

Like Jacob Rees Mogg

Like Daniel J Hannan

Anyway enough of the minor characters

I promised you a thread on Boris Johnson

The first starts from a speech he gave to schoolchildren where he talked of how he quit journalism for politics

See also his promise to schoolchildren

Warning: this is a long thread - as there is so so much on Boris Johnson

So much lies
So much dishonesty
So much incompetence
So much corruption
So much idiocy
So much racism

Everyone knows what he is

Why do you normalise him?

Why do you enable him?

Brexit didn't help with the vaccine or its rollout

It didn't

Ask anyone who sells you this lie

Why they are so desperate to appropriate it as a benefit of brexit

When it is not

e.g. see Isabel

When challenged with the lies of many solutions to the NI border

She has nothing

Except deflecting to yet more lies

And my last thread

Is how Boris Johnson

And his cult

Sadly have led Britain during a pandemic

It *DID NOT* have to be this way

It could have been done differently

Alas

Always fucking Alas

When did we lose our place?

Why did we lose it?

What are they going to do to make us regain it?
So here's world innovation rankings

Our neighbours AHEAD of the UK

Sweden (2), Germany (4), Switzerland (5) Finland (7), Denmark (8), france (8), Austria (12), Ireland (13), Belgium (14), Norway (15), Netherlands (16)

[thread] I have an idea for a talk in slot topic @LBC @mrjamesob @AvaSantina

What does the party of Boris Johnson stand for?

It is not Conservative

It is not unionist

It is "totally fucking hopeless"

So what name should we give the party?

Now I quote Margaret
M. Thatcher

"The manner of winning is a matter of honour."
M. Thatcher

With a question

Who said it?

But more importantly the follow up question.

Why did they say it?

"Black Lives Matter brought disordered destruction and violations of the law to America. We don't want that to happen in our country."
Who said:

"Black Lives Matter protests an opportunistic pretext for an outpouring of self-righteous rage”
That was a GB News presenter
