But she prevaricated. Trying to find a middle path where none existed.<br />Boris at least seems to understand, choose a side, and go hell for leather to achieve it. The early signs are promising. But does he have the stamina and the guts to stick with it.

Other than to set an example to follow the correct channels.<br />That said, if they are not deported, it simply encourages everyone who fancies, to chance it. So it’s a balance. Which the government achieves by the unequal method of pretending to be tough on immigration, while not really bothering about it.<br /><br />Johnson hasn't given an amnesty. All EU citizens have the right to be here today.<br /><br /> The right to be here tomorrow, is tomorrow’s problem. And will be part of any new EU deal. Or, more likely, will not be a part, as free movement is the first red line. One already agreed upon.<br /><br />What point would there be in chasing out zeal citizens, who are already here?<br />The EU could return all uk citizens who live there. <br />I can’t see any value in giving one to two million people a nightmare time, which benefits no one, and achieves nothing.<br /><br /><br />Bill Quango MPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-17405279301357510912019-07-25T14:53:54.502+01:002019-07-25T14:53:54.502+01:00He needs to start with Sedwill ..

But had no burning mission to carry out. No great plan to follow. Just a status quote to maintain.<br /><br />May was suited by upbringing and careers progression, but unsuited by timid temperament. And had only a vague, soggy, centralism of schoolteacher loveliness and equality for all, regardless of ethnicity, status, or, most importantly, gender.<br /><br />Boris is suited by upbringing, a very chequered career progression, and temperament. And has a single issue he must focus on. If he achieves that, his legacy assured, he can, if he so wishes, relax into a Cameroon waltz of dining with other heads of state and putting chippy socialists in their place.<br /><br />Who knows.
