    BoJo was never one to be accused of having a grasp of detail. He's intellectually lazy and is too enslaved by his carnal addictions to concentrate on anything not directly associated with his ego. In his arrogant conceit the silly fat wanker thinks he is a master strategist with an eye for the big picture but in truth he is simply a half-arsed opportunist whose understanding of the metrics of statecraft and politicking legerdemain is as superficial as his commitment to friends and emotional partners.

    He is reliant on others to act as a vehicle for his posturing, a trait realised by Gove who in a rare moment of honesty concluded BoJo was a useless twat thoroughly unworthy of leadership. Conversely, BoJo's Svengali Goebbels-like SPAD, Dom Cummings, sees this inadequacy as his intro to power since BoJo can't do anything unless programmed by him.

    Great fun and quite a privilege to see these creeps slither in their barrel of slime.

    fucked again by the Irish, the UK can't leave

    Brexit: DUP rejects deal 'as things stand' as PM heads to EU summit
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-50077760

    Boris Johnson has suffered a blow to his proposed Brexit deal as the Democratic Unionist Party said it cannot support plans "as things stand".

    The support of the Northern Irish party is seen as crucial if the PM is to win Parliament's approval for the deal in time for his 31 October deadline.

    The DUP said it would continue to work with the government to try to get a "sensible" deal.

    It comes as Mr Johnson heads to a crunch summit to get the EU's approval.

    And........looks like the deal is now on. Within the next couple of hours there should be confirmatory disclosures and announcements. Of course, whatever is on the table still has to be ratified by all parties, however realistically, and coin phrasing my favourite Jack Nicholson movie, "As Good As It Gets".

    This just posted from Juncker:





    The pound has just surged through $1.29 against the US dollar, hitting a new five-month high.

    ^ This is the EU making sure everyone knows that any failure to agree will lie squarely with the UK Government.

    The EU don't want to be seen to be the cause of any failure to agree the withdrawal terms. Bo-Jo, like May, has negotiated and agreed something without cross party approval. A very dangerous tactic for a minority government.

    They're hoping the electorate gets so bored that they basically say 'Fuck it, OK'.

    This deal was a turd months ago and it's just been polished since then.

    Negotiators from the European Union and the UK have reached an agreement on a Brexit deal, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has said.

    They have a deal

    as usual, the Brits with their poker face and silly maneuvers lost it all

    Complete surrender, we won

    New Brexit deal agreed, says Boris Johnson
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-50079385

    A Brexit deal has been agreed between UK and EU negotiating teams before a meeting of European leaders in Brussels.

    Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted: "We've got a great new deal that takes back control."

    The two sides have been working on the legal text of a deal, but it will still need the approval of both the UK and European parliaments.

    The DUP has cast doubt on its success, saying they still cannot support it.

    The Northern Irish party earlier released a statement saying they could not back proposals "as things stand", and - after the PM's announcement - said their statement "still stands".

    It's almost a crushing disappointment. Most people don't give a fuck now, they just want it over with.

    A deal simply gets you what you want and the only difference between this deal and May's draft WA is that the UK concedes that NI remains within the EU economic framework. Now that that has been agreed there is now no need for a back stop that constrains the UK's relationship with the EU and so the UK are free to do whatever they want with their new found freedom to suck American cock and be third world coons and pseudo-Asians. Only problem is, the DUP have not agreed to accept it so ..........

    Fucking great news: £ is surging and the English are going to get a new Irish civil war. Scotland will now demand access to the EU single market a la NI or they will fuck things up simply on the grounds of general principle.

    I'm happy - great deal - my pensions are increasing daily and I can get to watch Brexit England eat shit.

    Way to go BoJo!

    Which presumably has to be adopted by the DUP, HOC, The Lords and Lizze?

    It appears that the DUP has rejected the deal and GBP falls.

    Attachment 39744

    "The DUP’s patience, however, seems to have run out.


    “As things stand, we could not support what is being suggested on customs and consent issues, and there is a lack of clarity on VAT,” the party said.
    “We will continue to work with the Government to try and get a sensible deal that works for Northern Ireland and protects the economic and constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom.”"

    Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Juncker has just been quoted saying its this deal or no deal. An extension doesn't figure. Asked what he was doing when BoJo was caught masturbating in a Brussels toilet, "playing cards" he said. You can't play cards like that gasped the witness. "You can with the hand I've got" smirked BoJo.

    Early analysis of the new relationship with Europe, as expressed by the ERG Tories under BoJo's deal struck with the EU permitting limited free trade with them in parallel with their US cock-sucking and unfettered trade with PNG and the Faroes, will ensure a loss to the UK of about £130 billions over the next 15 years.

    Honestly, you simply couldn't write it, could you. And this is the party of dynamic capitalism???

    Brexit Britain, broken down, buggered and busted.
