Going backwards
Sorry for the lateness of today’s blog, but it gives me a chance to recommend the excellent article by Peter Foster in today’s FT.
Basically is shows how bad things are in our relationship with the EU and how far we have to go to fix that relationship before we can even go forward and try to improve the current deal we have with the EU, let alone do anything more.
The EU is insisting that the first step has to be for the UK to actually properly implement the deals it has already signed. Such is the state of distrust that they won’t even talk about talks until the UK does what it promised to do.
This is what you get after 8 years of Brexit governments run by people who put party before country. The Tories set out to make the UK the Millwall of Europe “No one likes us and we don’t care”. They have poisoned the well and are proud of it.
What utter traitorous bell ends they have been and still they will scream blue murder when anyone tries to mend some fences and talk nicely to the neighbours.
The UK’s word is no longer trusted, just let that sink in. As a deliberate act of policy the Tory government tried to make us distrusted, unliked and shunned. Just to try to placate a bunch of xenophobic, racist, nutters and stay in power.
Perhaps the new government could publish its legal advice on whether the UK is complying with its treaty obligations?
Because keeping our word used to mean something, and if we are ever to be taken seriously again we will have to try to regain our reputation.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.

One wonders how the tory leadership contenders will manage the remaking swivel-eyed loons. Pander to them, appease them and the tories could be in the long grass for ages. Defy and stand up to them and they risk a split with the nutters defecting to Farage (god help us all). Either way the tories could be struggling for quite some time (I hope!)
Better late than never
