The Woke will be upset by the Prime Minister’s focus on winding up the French, which is reason enough to pursue the policy. Old Lord Frosty is more than less of a man enough to do it. Johnson was right to choose him for the job. Stick a cocked hat on Frost’s head and he could be mistaken for Captain Jack Aubrey. As long as we pursue the madman policy in any international, or domestic negotiation we will always have surprise on our side.
Great Britons will feel justly reassured by the discrimination against our great rivals across the Channel. The French only have themselves to blame for the bizarre decision around who can visit without quarantine on Blighty’s noble shores.
If Macron had chosen to leave the EU with the UK and form a union of free trading, sovereign nations they would have found in us ready allies. A new La Belle Époque awaited, but sadly Macron was not willing to embrace it. So here we are, blaming the French. Only tennis is more quintessentially English.
The outdated idea of working closely with our European neighbours as friends, family even, will need to be pulled out of the English mind root and branch. The PM must push on! It is not enough to irritate, he must inflame! It is clear what the policy aim is. It is the same as it has always been with Brexit. Divide and conquer. Just imagine now how the other EU countries must be laughing at the French as Johnson issues daft instruction after daft instruction against them?
Bravo Boris! Three cheers for Frost! When negotiating with adults it is genius to act like a child. No one expects it.
We have divided and conquered ourselves at home, but the job of Brexit will only be done for its international conspirators when we have divided and conquered Europe also. It is our patriotic duty to dwell in the sweltering halls of Boris Johnson’s 18th century mind palace.
When faced with a choice of working closely or being a jackass Global Britons can be reassured that their PM will always choose the greater of two weevils.
