Churchillian Boris Johnson

As Boris walks with Angela Merkel, hands clasped behind his back, just as Churchill did, he observes all before him. Reminiscing the defeat of the German’s in the second world war, a war he was too young to have participated in… but remembered through his reading of the history books.

Now he walks with today’s German collaborator Emmanuel Macron. All he wants is the backstop removed… actually, all he wanted was to be Prime Minister, now he has got it he has become a child in the sweetshop.

He is a lucky sod, though,  where he usually would be behind in the polls (because of his toxic/ marmite like character, at least to some), his only serious challenger is a buffoon from the left… a clown that wanted out of Europe, but now held hostage by the European Union flag-waving part of his party. “It was a lot easier in the war,” Boris thought. “Then you could smash them with weapons,” now all he has got is his own words, with no power to back them up. A split parliament and a divided party….

On top of that, the country has gone down the rabbit hole to meet Alice. What a pig's ear he has inherited. A deep sigh, on with the game, which is his only course of action. He might as well smile, while he is where he is… or just enjoy the attention, after all, that is his vocation in life. He knows he can achieve what Trump has achieved, but without the pigshit stupidity, just the charm and words.

UK Prime Minister Mr Johnson has said the backstop must be ditched if a no-deal exit from the EU is to be avoided, arguing that it could leave the UK tied to the EU indefinitely. if implemented, it would see Northern Ireland staying aligned to some rules of the EU single market, should the UK and the EU not agree a trade deal after Brexit. It would also see the UK stay in a single customs territory with the EU, and align with current and future EU rules on competition and state aid.

The puzzle is Boris must find a way out of this maze. Or at least bluff his way past the 31^st October date. But even if he gets over the line, then what? A general election will loom and then anything could happen. We could end up having two main parties that are unpopular, which could see the ascent of the Lib-Dems and the Brexit Party. No end to what Cameron subjected the people of this country to, a total head dive into populism and division.  Where it will end, nobody knows. But one thing is for sure, nobody will come out of it smiling. And with the extreme left of Labour party and its in-fighting, like vultures ready to pick the UK dry, giving the Grim Reaper access to the souls of all that tread on our land.

If a film mogul had written it, it would have been thrown out as a mad and bad script.

From where I sit, it is engaging, the only trouble is… it is not an event that one can walk away from. It could have a devastating effect on our lives. Our children and their children. Will the future generations look back and think “What the fuck have they done”. As they sit huddled around a campfire in a dystopian-helter-skelter-land that the rest of the world has forgotten.

Let us hope that our politicians come to their senses and pull together, not put us in Alice’s Wonderland.

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice said to Boris, as she stepped down off the plane from outside England.

"Oh, you can’t help that," said Boris: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."

"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.

"You must be," said Boris, "or you wouldn’t have come here to England.” Then Boris chuckled to himself, while those around him, wearing their white coats, looked on in amusement.
