My enemies' enemy......
Some Brexit supporters are delighted at the Hungarian election results. Why? Because Viktor Orban is an enemy of Brussels, anti the Euro and “pro national rights”.
The fact that he is also pro-Putin, is apparently a price worth paying to undermine the EU, at any and all opportunities.
You might think they would have wanted to keep this one a bit quiet at the moment, what with handcuffed civilians being shot in the back of the head and all.
But no, this is a defeat for Brussels and therefore a victory for Brexit, which is and always was about more than getting the UK out of the EU.
It does however help explain why Brexit supporters and MPs have been so close to Russia and Putin, my enemies’ enemy is my friend.
No matter what their motives, methods or crimes.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
