Boris is all of the need Minister of foreign Affairs a history lesson, ambush in Salzburg, the art of listening, and what this has to do with respect?

He gave his Best and the crowd on the edge of the Tory party rally in Birmingham, eating out of his Hand. Boris Johnson can speak like a world champion and his claim to the office of the Prime Minister to underline, he had combed and even his hair. In the fight against Theresa may’s “outrageous” Chequers proposal. Is this your attempt to be in the customs Union and the internal market, half in and half out of the EU heads of government summit in Salzburg already had pieces torn. But Boris beat more on this long-dead horse.

“He is not pragmatic, he is not a compromise, and offers no security”, he thundered against the Mays Plan. And if we are “half-in and half-out, we will extend only to this poisoned and boring” argument. The latter, at least, a good description of the Brexit dispute under the Tories. In addition, the Chequers proposal was “undemocratic” and not what the people had voted. Would-be populists like BJ lay particularly fond of the will of the voters.

A second Referendum would be disastrous, and the trust in politics would undermine. Obviously, you should give “the people” never have a Chance to change your mind. So what are the candidates proposing for 10 Downing Street instead, except for the construction of a bridge between the UK and Northern Ireland, of course? He wants a Canada plus, plus, plus the agreement with the EU, which offers virtually all the benefits of membership. It would not be a free trade agreement with all sorts of other good deeds that the EU has to offer in the Form of more. But it looks on paper and sounds like a fighter in the Assembly.

It is in the EU, in fact, as bad as in the Soviet Gulag?

The foreign Minister needs a history lesson

When Jeremy Hunt took over the Ministry of foreign Affairs in London, he tried to make a more serious impression than his known unrestrained predecessor. Boris Johnson had compared, among other things, the mild French President Francois Hollande, once with a Nazi prison guard. But Hunt only needed a speech to the Tory party conference to expose themselves as a brother in the spirit. He tried to the amount due to the Brexit jitters and comparing the EU to a Soviet prison, its inmates prevents. What a man does everything for his leadership ambitions.

The incident shows that the new foreign Minister, has either a Problem with recent history, or from the ambition into madness. It would be helpful if Hunt would open in his office every once in a history book, etched by an EU spokesman. Some of the Eastern European representatives were less reticent. The Latvian Ambassador, Baiba Brazic about said, Soviet domination have ruined the lives of three generations in their country. The EU have brought prosperity, equality, growth and respect. And the former top British diplomat Lord Ricketts called hunt’s remarks “nonsense, a British foreign Minister, unworthy”.

What it is only in the collective soul of the Tories, that drives you to insult your negotiating partners in the EU before the end to the utmost, and to irritate? This seems more like a Chapter from the manual “How to lose friends and people repels”.

The Salzburg Idyll, not helped in the understanding between the EU and GB

An ambush at dinner?

After the big crash at the Salzburg summit ten days ago, a clamor arose in the British press. There had been an ambush at the dinner of the heads of government, the against May’s allies. They have acted like Bullies, were immobile and had slapped May, it said. And the “Sun”, with her gift for outstanding Filth, “EU-rats” on its front page. Rats may not be lovable, but they are survival artists. Unlike lemmings, plunge unconscious into the abyss and has always been as stupid were.

And then there were a lot of incantations from the “spirit of Dunkirk” and other great historical hour of the Kingdom. Such as Churchill in the 2. World war, vowed that they would fight the Germans, “on the beaches”. Some of the Brexiteers are simply in the wrong war movie.

Why to listen only never someone?

None of this had to happen, if Theresa May, Ambassador and adviser to read the European Newspapers, European heads of government or Brexit-could have listened negotiator, Michel Barnier. Emmanuel Macron, the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, or the Dutch Prime Minister, for example, have never left any doubt that they would not damage the single market to the benefit of the British.

The Brussels correspondent of the “Independent” resulted in eight official opinions between February and the fatal Salzburg summit, where EU high representative Mays Chequers-Plan impracticable. “The four freedoms are indivisible, continuing with the cake-philosophy, need to be further negotiated, and no partial participation in the internal market, customs proposals are illegal”. What is there not to understand?

Theresa May: Hear and be heard…

What does that have to do with “respect”?

After their return from Salzburg, Theresa May was at home in front of the microphones with two Union Jack flags in the Background. The defiant opinion was delayed because there was a power outage. No symbolism, of course.

But then clutched Jan to her console and said that it could not be put under pressure. The EU should show more respect and to make a counter-proposal Chequers. You can’t just say “no” and there is no other solution to offer. Can you already, because from the beginning, the Norway Model, or a Canada-were agreements on the table.

And this really was the British Prime Minister, who demanded as a Teenage Gangster in his area on the stage of “respect”? Your worst threat is a granite hard Brexit. This is called the Branch cut on which one sits. Yet again May repeated, unmoved: There are Chequers or a “wild Brexit”. On Twitter, jokes about the Titanic, suddenly appeared.

Your an “immovable iceberg” fatal: the Titanic

@Nick Rhodes: “the captain of The Titanic holds a sharp speech, and complained of the inflexibility of the iceberg. He assured the passengers that he will still continue”.

Full speed ahead, Prime Minister!
