Bye bye EU, says Boris, we're out of here in 25 days.

Unless the UK and EU really are playing high-stakes poker and there will be a true winner at the end of the Brexit drama, both sides are going to lose. There is no deal in the making. Or to put it another way, there is a no-deal in the making. It is impossible to believe that the EU leaders and negotiators will suddenly decide that some form of border checks, whether in a warehouse or on a boat or up a tree will be ok for Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. It's such a red line for them that they will NEVER agree. They will only sign up to a deal with Boris Johnson if he deletes all reference to checks on the island of Ireland. And Boris can't do that, otherwise it means Northern Ireland will remain in the EU and the rest of the UK will be outside it. So there can't be a deal by October 19 or 20 or 30 or 31. So then the UK leaves without any deal of any kind and the first thing that will happen is there will have to be checks on trade in the island of Ireland!!! Boris says there won't be border checks as such but there will have to be exactly the same sort of checks that are currently in the Boris proposal because the UK as a whole will no longer be part of the EU. Doesn't everyone in this farce realise that? It seems not because the EU negotiators are continuing to say the same thing over and over again. No to border checks, no to border checks, no to border checks. Why? Because it will undermine the Good Friday Agreement, bring back terrorism and be totally contrary to the great EU founding philosophy or no borders. Really!! Terrorism which by the way hasn't gone anyway, will engulf the island once again if there is no deal!!! Really? I doubt it or I sincerely hope I can doubt it. So, after listening to Michel Barnier and others today, I no longer believe that the EU is playing the greatest brinkmanship game in history, and that at three minutes to midnight on October 30, the EU leaders will say ok ok ok you win, we'll sign the bl...y deal. Why would they accept defeat? They can't accept defeat. So, as Boris put it today, we're packing our bags and preparing to leave. Pathetically, both sides are blaming each other for the failure to reach a deal. But we the simple voters know who is to blame. The whole bl...dy shower on each side of the English Channel. Well, David Cameron first, then everyone else involved in the Brexit debacle. Now with the clock ticking I do believe Boris WILL take us out of the EU on October 31 and we will all suffer the consequences.
