Britain unveils new Brexit plan with warning over no deal
2019-10-04
[DAWN] Britannia on Wednesday unveiled its own Brexit plan for keeping the Irish border open, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson
...pro-Brexit British prime minister, succeeding no-Brexit Theresa May. BoJo is noted as much for his sparkling personality and his hair as for his Conservative policies....
warning the only alternative was leaving the Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
an Union on Oct 31 without any deal.

After earlier saying that this was his "final" offer made 29 days before the Brexit deadline, Johnson wrote in a letter to European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker that London’s long-awaited proposal was "a reasonable compromise".

Central to the plan is the removal of the so-called "backstop" to prevent the return of customs posts between EU member Ireland and the British province of Northern Ireland once the UK ends its 46-year involvement in the European project.

That plan would effectively keep Britannia in a temporary customs union with the EU, which Brexit-backing critics argued would force London to abide by the bloc’s rules indefinitely and nullify the 2016 EU referendum’s results.

Johnson told Juncker that the EU plan was "a bridge to nowhere". "A new way forward must be found," he wrote.

After a phone call later on Wednesday, Juncker warned Johnson there were "problematic points" in Britannia’s new proposal, but said EU negotiators would "examine the legal text objectively".
