In 2017 I wrote ‘how can it be settled when everyone wants something different?’. This still feels like a relevant question. The oven ready deal appears to be not what they wanted after all. Did the words in the deal magically appear altered to different people? 1/
Others want special treatment for their industries. Fisheries got stuffed, it’s not what they voted for! Farmers got stuffed, they wanted something else and now they want special visas and will need help to stay in business. 2/
The DUP wanted …. well I don’t know what they wanted - I am totally confused by their constantly evolving contradictions. Frost and Johnson invented the NIP and told us it was brilliant, now Frost says it’s rubbish. Another confused soul! 3/
Some want to carry on blaming the Brexit problems on forrens in Europe whilst simultaneously denying that its anything to do with Brexit. It’s the problems in the supply chains they cry but the French are being totally unreasonable even so they wail! 4/
Some wanted to control the borders but the moment the French or Spanish control their borders by insisting on correct paperwork and procedures, well ‘we didn’t mean THOSE borders. We only meant our borders’ is the message I get. 5/
Donald Tusk was completely right. Brexiteers promoted Brexit without even a sketch of a plan as to how to carry it out safely. They have failed. #Brexitisntworking 6/
It doesn’t matter how you dress it up. They had no plan because everyone wanted something different and they trotted out (and still do) the specific lies to appeal to all the different desires and prejudices.
#brexit can never be settled precisely because of this!
