British PM Johnson to EU: 'We're Packing our Bags and Walking Out' in 25 Days

[PJMedia] If European Union leaders thought there would be any flagging or hesitation from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson when the Brexit deadline loomed, they were sadly mistaken.
Johnson penned an op-ed in The Sun and The Daily Express that explicitly threatened a British exit from the EU with or without a formal agreement by October 31.
Politico:
"After decades of campaigning, three years of arguments and seemingly endless months of pointless delay, it is now just 25 days until the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union comes to an end. We will be packing our bags and walking out on October 31. The only question is whether Brussels cheerily waves us off with a mutually agreeable deal, or whether we will be forced to head off on our own," he wrote.
The EU is perfectly aware of Johnson's political troubles -- both in his own party and with the opposition. But Johnson's threat should now impress on the EU the seriousness of the situation. Part of the calculus used by the EU was always that the Brits would get cold feet and keep delaying their exit until a change in political leadership brought them back to their senses.
That's not going to happen now. No court will grant Brexit opponents a stay. It's too late for a referendum. Johnson is pulling out on the 31st, end of story.
