I suppose the idea now is to spin it positive. To make it look as if it's a good thing. That it's the best deal that the UK Government can get. To seem as if the will of the people is being carried out. To show that a project timescale has been met.
* Key Point: The EU won't have given the UK anything better than its members get. It will be worse. On principle.
* Old Key Point: The will of the people was based upon lies from both sides of the argument.
* Emerging Key Point quietly understated: The offshore funding of the leave campaign could have been illegal.
Now we get five hundred pages hiding a fudge dressed up in fancy words.
Pushing border management into a long term transition. Backstop Plus. One for attorney-general Geoffrey Cox to
Chuck in a few words about "Control" but behind almost anarchic scenes there's whipfuls of impure moral suasion.
Carrot or stick? Who gets a peerage? What indiscretions won't be revealed? Come on down to Number 10 for your customised arrangement.
Ironically, the 'Rights of Englishmen' is being breached.
The new deal says there'll be money paid out to the EU and rule by the EU over UK matters without representation. I almost find myself agreeing with the Bojo the Clown on this.
Back in 1776 in the USA, the colonists wanted a local, representative government, for judicial matters and taxation. They even had a revolution against George III to settle it.
Now the UK gets Control. But it's a political control of the agenda. Rise of the maybots.
We get so-called exit options for the UK dictated by the government. They are a false choice. The over-stressed May (if she survives) will continue to be dogmatically deaf and blind to all arguments. Lock us into something with no gameplan for what happens starting 1st April.
Instead, stay in and re-elect some proper MEPs to replace the well-expensed tobacco and beer saboteurs. It's getting too much like the end of Fight Club.
