BREXIT: No Light at the End of the Tunnel

There is a famous tunnel under the famous channel that connects the UK and the EU. On Thursday, there was a light at the EU end of the tunnel. But on the UK side we still have total darkness…



New Brexit round was opened on October 14th, with the Queen’s Speech. In the last installment of Brexit saga, we left Boris Johnson with the new “cunning plan” which stretched out all the hair on the head of Nigel Farage. A “new deal“? It’s a Treaty!

But before we turn to Boris Johnson and his new agreement with EU, just one more note about the “Queen’s Speech”. It is actually a speech provided by government (it is delivered by the Queen from the throne of the House of Lords, but it is written by ministers), aimed to highlight priorities in its policy.

In the first paragraph of the Speech, it is said:

My Government’s priority has always been to secure the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union on 31 October. My Government intends to work towards a new partnership with the European Union, based on free trade and friendly cooperation [European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill].

And so, on Thursday, at the press conference in Brussels, Jean-Claude Juncker announced: “We have a deal. There’s no need for any kind of prolongation.”

Bright light at the EU end of the tunnel. Done deal, right? End of Saga?

Wrong again!



Boris Johnson still has to push his deal through the House of Commons, and there already is a majority assessment that his “cunning plan” (which Baldrick would envy) is even worse than Theresa May’s record-breaking bad plan. DUP is not satistfied, Sinn Fein is not satisfied, Jeremy Corbyn is not satisfied, Nicola Sturgeon is not satisfied, and the worst of all, “people’s voice” Nigel Farage is not satisfied.

So, on Saturday (tomorrow), instead of a historical session in the House of Commons, we can expect one more hysterical session. MPs will reject the plan, and what then?

  • You don’t want to allow no-deal Brexit, Juncker said “no need for any kind of prolongation”, so new general elections?
  • We don’t want to allow no-deal Brexit, Juncker said “no need for any kind of prolongation”, so no Brexit
  • We cannot agree, so we’ll ask the people again in referendum — until they vote no-Brexit

Now, if those three options seem to you like an attempt to exhaust the Brexit voters, you are probably right. And you would also be right if you think that no-deal Brexit is missing from the list of options. All of that could bring the British Island to a revolt like has never been seen since 1640.

And while Nigel Farage will almost certainly rise in the course of events, once again George Galloway can explain the situation with a simple and understandable language:

So, what do you think? Is Boris Johnson another “stable genius” with a “cunning plan” to extort no-deal Brexit, or another bureaucratic clown with the aim to make a betrayal of democracy fun and acceptable? Let’s hope Julian Assange won’t be forgotten when the fuss starts.

Don’t forget Julian Assange!
