We all know cobblers when we see them. We all knew deep down that there were those in our midst who would NEVER accept a formal parting of the ways with the EU, didn’t we? We shouldn’t be surprised that Two-Tier Free-Gear Keir is plotting a long-term UK sellout into EU vassalage.
After he won the election of July 4, we got flashes of Two-Tier’s true colours when he referenced a “reset” of UK-EU relations. Immediately upon assuming office, he beat feet to Berlin and to hobnob with the European power base. This was then enthusiastically followed by arch-Euronut maintaining the shmooze momentum on his charm offensive in various EU member state capitals.
Then of course there was the gathering at Blenheim Palace, all, I’ll wager, a stage-managed effort to massage the narrative in paving the way for an eventual return to the European fold.
It’s not hard to see how this will unfold. Start off with a general policy position of a relations reset, add the other ingredients slowly while the pot simmers by talking up defence and security issues etc. The ultimate objective, the coveted prize will then get sprung at a precisely choregraphed moment with the suggestion that since we’re working this closely with Brussels it makes sense to rejoin the EU.
All the claptrap about more significance on the world stage with the UK being at the centre of European affairs, reinstatement of single market and common customs union membership being articulated to con the British electorate once more. Do you believe it?
Oh, this lot deny it, of course; they explicitly state that there is no question of rejoining the single market and signing up to free movement, yet that is precisely where all this faux diplomacy and deception is leading.
Today Two-Tier does a channel hop, vowing to “put the years behind us” ahead of a meeting with European Commission president , European Council chief Charles Michel and the European Parliament’s Roberta Metsola. He apparently wants to “establish a more pragmatic and mature relationship with the ”. What the bleep does that mean?
In advance of his visit, Two-Tier said: “The UK is undeniably stronger when it works in lockstep with its closest international partners. This has never been more important – with war, conflict and insecurity all knocking on Europe’s door. We will only be able to tackle these challenges by putting our collective weight behind them, which is why I am so determined to put the years behind us and establish a more pragmatic and mature relationship with the . Better co-operation with the EU will deliver the benefits the British people deserve – securing our borders, keeping us safe and boosting economic growth.”
Such expansive word salad, such conviction, and such passion, and so misguided too! But it’s all a feint; It’s a false flag, and dare I say, it’s all a load of porkies too, Possums. Look closely at what Two-Tier said. We’re undeniably stronger when working in lockstep with our international partners……Translation, anyone?
Closer cooperation with the EU will deliver better and deserving benefits to Brits (here’s the kicker) SECURING OUR BORDERS AND KEEPING US SAFE……Did you spit out your coffee with that one? I very nearly did. Since Labour came to power barely three months ago more than eleven thousand uninvited people have entered our country illegally across the channel. This despite a pledge to go after the people-smuggling gans in a more robust approach.
We don’t need to cozy up to the EU to police our borders, AND we don’t need to appear weak in the face of Spanish fury over the future of Gibraltar either, to take another example. The very idea of having a European border official ask me what the purpose of my visit to Gibraltar might be having arrived on a domestic UK flight I personally find deeply offensive.
Two-Tier is the Artful Dodger of his times. He won’t give you a straight answer, he won’t stand on a point of principle and consistently maintain it either. Why? Because he’s too busy keeping an eye on the wind direction, or at least he was in opposition.
Now of course he’s got the top job, and his priorities have switched to ramming his agenda down everyone’s throat, taxing and spending at his TUC paymasters bidding. Then, as evidenced today, he’s off to Brussels to eat a sumptuous lunch with those miscreants from the , lapping more gravy into the bargain.
See the writing on the wall, read the runes, Possums. It’s not that hard, honest!
