I agreed with pretty well everything you wrote until you referred to (the Eu I assumed) our natural allies. We have very few ‘natural allies‘ in Europe.....
Pete, we disrespected everyone by confirming our intent to knowingly break international agreements.
Johnson would readily understand the long established concept of Dictum Mewm Pactum better than most who didn’t benefit from an Eton education (My word is my bond)
Most specifically and directly we disrespected the EU, but also the US and indirectly anyone else currently thinking of doing a deal with us.
If we have few natural allies in Europe, I think that perhaps says more about us than them.
All that now remains is for Johnson to emulate his childish egotistical twin across the Atlantic, by implementing some of his new found power in the form of a direct and obvious snub to the EU.
This lot are far from finished in making us look stupid on the world stage. They are unfortunately, collectively unencumbered by intellect.
