2 Border BoJo puts everything @ risk cause white nationalist Brexit bollocks

It is official, we are now so far down the rabbit hole that there is no way out that I can see.

This pretence at a ‘credible’ offer to the EU is rather shrewd and you can see how it may serve in helping to secure a No Deal Brexit that the xenophobic wankers that have hijacked our democracy so desperately want.

Let us consider what the BoJo offer really is…

One. A panacea for those Conservatives who have not yet completely lost their minds/moral compass, who still want to see a deal with the EU and need to be able to pretend that this hooligan in number 10 is doing best to bring home a deal. The offer to the EU does this in a semi credible way.

Two. A bludgeon to hit the EU over the head with when this offer is inevitably rejected and these no deal disruptors need someone to blame for the violence and chaos that will surely erupt after no deal kicks the most vulnerable in our society very hard indeed.

Three. A whip to stir up fear and hatred for those opposed to no deal, i.e. ALL SANE PEOPLE, and the opposition, for failing to back this 2 border bollocks of a deal and shifting the responsibility for a no deal outcome and the anarchy that is inevitable as result onto anyone but them.

Four. A way to stir things up in Ulster. We all know that if civil disruption is going to occur it will be in Northern Ireland and as a child of the troubles this is unforgivable. Suggesting the addition of 2 borders where once there were none will of course lead to rising tensions and we have a tradition of burning shit down when we are unhappy… Oh look – a twofer. Keeping the DUP happy to continue to support the offer AND a potential reason to initiate the Civil Contingencies Act when the riots happen, so they can get around the Benn Act and leave on 31st October all the while pretending they have not broken the law.

We are between a rock and a hard place. This insulting 2 border bollocks is as complex as its impracticable so you can pretty much guarantee most Brexit cheer leaders won't even try to comprehend what it offers. All the hard liners leading the no deal Brexit charge need to be sure of is that when the shit hits the no deal Brexit fan that the average Brexit voter believes that everything that comes next is all the EU and the oppositions fault.

And then the far-right coup will be complete. Rabbit hole indeed…
“Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

Just sayin’.
