"Oh shit, I created a fking total senseless mess of brexit, but fear not - I will just say it is of trivial concerns. That will solve it and no one will know the problem was caused by me jumping on each bandwagon where the crowd goes and shout - follow me!"

Hardly suprising.
Johnsons desperation to retain support of his Hardliners in the wake of a No Confidence vote last week that saw over 40% of his own MPs want to be rid of him make another open EU confrontation one of the only tickets he has left.
Whats amusing are the gymnastics of his Brandon Lewis, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, on Sunday morning said "We're doing this because it's the right thing to do for the people of Northern Ireland - the whole community of Northern Ireland. Immediatly thrashed by an Open Letter signed by almost 60% of the NI Assembly MPs representing the majority of citizens and businesses in NI, which described the Bill as "Reckless", and saying that the government's argument that it was acting to protect the Good Friday Agreement was a "grotesque act of political distortion".
Oh Dear Boris.. another Porkie?

Is it legal? Well Liz Truss "The Johnson's" airhead Foreign Secretary asserts it is. And Boris said on Sunday that the Bills breaking of an fully ratiied International Treaty is "trivial". Bizzare given its already led to the resignation of the UKs most senior Legal advisor, that the Counsel to the Treasury was not consulted and is now known to oppose it.
Its attracted a clear but muted reaction from EU, long used to the Johnsons Brexit Circus, and how this latest BS, is just another chapter in the Save BigDog plan to save his increasing unpopular Premiership.,
What did anyone expect?

the funny thing is it's the remoaners that made Johnson happen
