Boris Johnson tried to pull a stunt with his letter to the EU – 23 signature responses
13.
In sending a letter with a minor flaw in and expecting it to be rejected, the Prime Minister is confusing the EU with an application for Universal Credit.

You: "I can't believe the British Press is falling for this photocopy double letter nonsense."
Me: "Really? Because these are the same people who write dense articles analyzing the political implications of a 93 year old woman's brooch choices."

"Immature man-child has tantrum, refuses to sign own work" should be the headline here pic.twitter.com/DWHq47sgsw

Boris did you send the letter, yes but I didn't sign it, they have no idea who it's from pic.twitter.com/nw5nl5cbnC

“Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, I HAVE IT! I HAVE IT! I HAVE GOT IT!
What if you send the letter… but don’t sign it.”
4D chess, my arse. This is barely the political equivalent of conkers. ~AA

Johnson: “I will not send a letter to the EU asking for an extension.”
Also Johnson: *sends letter, which the EU accepts as valid*
Press and media: “Ooh, Boris isn’t taking any shit, is he? Look, he didn’t even sign it!”
We fucking see you, you pricks.

I love the idea that the EU27 would have had no clue that Johnson didn't want to send that letter, and that he just had to send a second one in case they weren't aware.

Still can’t get my head around the whole “colluding with foreign powers” accusation from No10 at MPs accused of being anti-Brexit..When Boris Johnson asks EU leaders to hold back on granting/talking up idea of new extension, is that colluding with foreign powers too?

Hahahaha!! Suckers!!
You'll notice that none of my previous Tweets – NONE – were actually signed! So it's, like, they don't exist right, and, like, I can do what I want and stuff! AND I had my fingers crossed behind my back all the time!! OWNED!— Stephen McGann (@StephenMcGann) October 20, 2019

The EU: thank you for your extension request.
Boris: Ah, but I didn’t sign it.

Mark Steel reminded us of the most important factor.
The story is he’s had to do the thing he said he’d rather die in a ditch than do. That’s what matters, not pretend defiance. It’s not even proper pretend defiance, he could have written the letter in ear wax or scrawled it in felt pen on a donkey but lacks the imagination.

Not to contradict Mr. Steel, but we’ve heard Boris Johnson’s claims and they’re at least 90 per cent imagination.
