Boris Johnson’s latest column for the Telegraph is a marvellous specimen of an emergent school of political thought: Bloody Brilliant Brexit Britishism. Here’s a snippet:
And that gives us a chance not just to do new trade deals, but to think of ourselves once again as a truly global Britain using our unique voice — humane, compassionate, principled — to do good around the world, and to exploit growth markets to the full. link
How splendid. Here’s another cracking example of the genre: Priti Patel‘s got some cracking news, just wait til you hear this, guys!
We are already seeing our friends in the Anglosphere sending us positive messages on future trade deals, and it is clear that the US wants us at the front of the queue rather than the back…As a beacon of global free trade and enterprise, we should go into our negotiations with the EU with confidence that we can achieve fair terms of withdrawal. link
Cool! What are you all worrying about, you idiots, we’re a beacon! We’ve got confidence! And, and and and, we’ve got some amazingly positive messages, and — holy shit! — have you seen how big these imaginary trade deals are?!...
While post-Brexit Britain burns, Boris Johnson leads the British cheerleaders in their "Bloody Brilliant Brexit Britishism". If I was young and living in Britain might be getting ready to pack up and leave because cheerleading is not substance.
