I have been known (alleged, ya eejit, alleged!!) to speak what passes for my mind on the odd occasion, but I found Donald's remarks today shocking. Not necessarily the words but the tone in which he delivered them. He sounded frustrated, just another word for angry, with the utter nonsense May & Co are visiting on us yet again.
Does Teresa understand that the offer on the table awaiting her government's/parliament's approval is not up for renegotiation? Does she understand she can't do side deals with Ireland? She either agrees to the current offer or crashes out with all the awful consequences for everyone.
I don't believe Donald's remarks are directed solely at Teresa but probably at the guy, her predecessor, who set us all up and then galloped off to the lucrative world on directorships, ghosted "auto-biographies" and the lecture circuit.
Anyone with an ounce of leadership, foresight or a number of brain cells greater than zero could have sat down with a bunch of advisors and brainstormed about "If A is outcome then we need to do this, if B is the outcome we need to do that, else we need to do something else." That individual or his side-kicks could have handed the tiny decision tree off to the high-paid help to model and war-game and come back in days or weeks with a solid plan. There was no plan, no modelling, no flow-chart just an opening of Pandora's box and no way to stuff the contents back in or find another home for them. As Del Boy used to say "What a bunch of plonkers Rodders!"
I think Donald spoke for me today. Does anyone agree or will I be thrun out with Teresa?
