Anyway back on topic. Johnson is playing down the idea of continuing to make EU payments: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38200112
It's not clear because by definition overpaying to the EU would be paying too much but if we pay the correct amount that seems fine  |
So it looks like a swing toward soft brexit. Just to remind everyone, that means everything stays exactly the same as it is now but we leave in name only and lose both our representation in the European Parliament and our national veto.
In layman's terms, this is a bit like giving everyone in the pub the finger and announcing you're leaving, then sulking on your own in the beer garden drinking whatever the regulars deign to send out to you.
So certainly less insane than hard brexit as it may not cause economic self-immolation (probably just some severe burns), but a very high level of stupidity nonetheless.
