Anti-Brexit campaigners are suffering from a shortage of “I Told You So”s, as “Project Fear” rapidly swings into “Operation I Told You So”, as the UK under our likely new Prime Minister Boris “Yes, Mr President” Johnson shows his understanding of GATT Article 24 matches… Well. Pretty much his actual knowledge of anything, really.
Worried Remain campaigners have placed a large emergency order of “I Told You So”s with a German precision engineering firm, but the liklihood is that a hard Brexit will result in them being stuck in Rotterdam in a customs queue.
Nigel Farage thundered “We should be investing in British “I Told You So”s and not these tainted EU ones: I never said Brexit would be a success, but by God, it will be a BRITISH not-success!”
Ironically Mr Farage’s ability to complete his rant with a self-satisfied “I told you so” was curtailed because…well…
Johnson, when challenged if he knew that “I Told You So” imports would be restricted, said, as he said regarding his knowledge of Article 24, paragraph 5(c)… “No”…
Your Correspondent hates to say it but… Oh damn. I can’t. Because…well…
Bloody Brexit.
