I am but there was a referendum and my side lost. and the houses of parliament have fought tooth and nail to disregard that vote and it's a massive logjam that needs dealing with to allow other legislation to be dealt with,.
plus of course it will drive the pinkos and lovies in the paroxysms of rage.
The Benn Act was the better destination that Grieve believed in. It saved Britain from a shock exit. It also trapped Boris Johnson. And it was highly unlikely to have figured in Cummings’s game-plan. “Suddenly,” as Ken Clarke put it, “the tactics changed”, and it may not have been Cummings who changed them.
Johnson, said Clarke, was now “desperate for a deal. He’d go for anything. That’s why in the end there was no proper negotiating. It was all settled by a one-to-one meeting between him and Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar [held in Cheshire 10 October]. An hour and a half. On their own. They shook hands and did the deal.”
“Now Varadkar was able to do that,” Clarke continued, “confident the [EU] 28 would be all right, because what he shook hands on was what the EU had already agreed to offer Theresa May 12 or 18 months before. It was quite obvious from what Johnson said afterwards that he hadn’t understood what he was agreeing to. He had not recognised it as the original EU proposal. He still refuses to accept that he signed up to a customs union down the Irish Sea.”
