JUST A MATTER OF TIME NOW : Boris Johnson is on the receiving end of some unexpected fire today as criticism of his core integrity began to land from previously supportive quarters.
“He doesn’t really believe in Brexit,” a prominent Brexit supporter damned the beleaguered caretaker PM, “When I voted for him to become PM, along with 0.13% of the proper British population, I expected a strongman who would stubbornly do what was required. A guy who’d rather be dead in a ditch than fail the currency speculators. Now? It’s clear his heart isn’t in it,
“at least you knew May was driven by xenophobia, and so long as she saw the chance to increase hostility in the environment, via Brexit, she would try and get it done. Who knows what’s driving Boris? Other than an unrelenting lust for blondes.”
And just how committed Mr Johnson is to delivering Brexit will be increasingly the question as the personal cost of the project begins to come in.
How much is he willing to pay personally for the project?
It will take a mighty personal sacrifice. Is he the man? Or is he all just talk and obsessed solely with self aggrandisement?
“Brexit shouldn’t be hard. It should already have happened. Who was it? There was one political leader who called for the immediate triggering of Article 50 the morning after the referendum? I can’t quite recall who it was now. Probably one of the Tory MPs who voted with certain Labour MPs back in 2011 for a referendum then?”
“Bet they would have done it. Being faced with knowledge you’d be the last PM of the UK would not have phased them,”
“Instant trigger of Article 50 wouldn’t have allowed the Bank of England any time to put in place stabilising measures. The world would have seen on the 24th June 2016 that the UK had suddenly gone completely insane, money would have flown away in a torrent and the entire show crashed. That would have gotten it done. Whoever that was, that’s someone who believes in the project. Stands to reason they have since the 70’s. Why aren’t they in Downing Street?”
And it’s likely the criticisms of Mr Johnson’s approach to the easiest deal in history will now be subject to increasing scrutiny by true believers.
“It’s not that Brexit is at core a completely flawed idea, only in place to serve toxic nationalists and disaster capitalists,” the critic continued, “or indeed far left revolutionaries of course, they’d love it too. It could create exactly the necessary degree of middle class terror and impoverishment to cause a proper revolutionary change in society. Brexit is a great idea. It’s just we need someone at the top who believes in it to deliver it.”
