For Mr Johnson to fall into any known political category, he would have to have principles attributable to known political denominations. Much like his orange hued idol in the US, however, Mr Johnson is a clown whose political positions osciallate widely.

Be that as it may, I am quietly enjoying watching the scenario unfold in all its brutal efficiency. The UK's attempt at leaving the EU will become a cautionary tale in a very short time. Messrs Johnson and Farage will soon have to learn that the EU is very good at turning plans into action in a very short time, and that their dream of keeping calm and starting negotiations in their own good time has always been that (and, of course, another known lie). The EU will make short shrift of the UK, and it has very many good reasons to do so, including, but not limited to, the lies being spread about it by the Leave campaign.

I think you gentlemen call this "poetic justice"...
Robin - everything you have written so far is nothing more than just another opinion - the fact is no-one knows how the negotiations will pan out but what we do know is that GB buys far more from the EC than it sells - as a political economist does that not tell you that at least we will start off with a stack of bargaining chips? Take a look at what your own contry's car makers have to say on the subject.

I'm afraid I lost a great deal of faith in your arguments when you stated that Nigel Farrage will be held accountable for statements he made - the man was not even part of the official leave campaign. He represents a party that has a single MP - although it's always possible that he could get a seat on a negotiating table - you could say the same for me.
