SURELY the bottom line in this charade of ongoing Brexit negotiations is the situation where Prime Minister Johnson is desperately hoping that the EU negotiators will call a halt to it all, and he will then come out shouting the odds that it is all their fault that negotiations have broken down.
He will then start waving the Union flag as the good guy who was trying his best for Britain.
Hopefully the EU team is well aware of this, and will stay in there to the bitter end and avoid such an outcome.

DOES anyone with more brains than an amoeba, believe a No-Deal Brexit this wasn’t the “grand plan” all along? I know I’ve been saying this since last year. God (or Dominic) alone knows where this is supposed to be leading.
Perhaps, in true Johnsonian style, there is no grand plan and they’re just making it up as they go along, although this is doubtful, as the money men behind this must be intending to make a “killing” on the stock exchange somehow.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
