Hardly the only one of us to be saying I can't be arsed with doing the job properly, at least it doesn't stand out in this cabinet.

Once they got away with that lie, they could get away with practically everything.
It was a fest of "believe everything you want."..and why not.

Brexit came from the same source and Well (hatred of foriegners etc) as the hatred of the poor sick and unemployed...
The later gave them taxcuts and allowed them not to pay for the global financial crisis, and shift the blame onto the most vulnerable in society, and Brexit will allow them to capitalise on the impending financial disaster.
So well done peeps, your hatred, anger and resentment of other people, has been used against you, to full effect, and by every charlatain with half a clue.

What part of “Parody Boris Johnson” gave it away. Although the article is valid so not really that much of a piss take as opposed to largely accurate.

Brexit: Anger over government's failure to get Norway fishing deal

Fishing crews have been "disastrously let down" by the government's failure to reach a deal with Norway, UK Fisheries chief executive has said.

UK fleets will not have access to Norway's sub-Arctic seas, following the breakdown of UK-Norway negotiations. One trawler, which catches 10% of fish sold in chip shops, will be tied up for a year following the collapse in talks.

The government said it had offered a "fair deal" but the two sides were "too far apart" to agree a deal this year.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said fishing communities had been "betrayed by the prime minister".

The UK's departure from the EU means it is no longer part of the European Common Fisheries Policy and instead negotiates with Norway directly over fishing catches.
...
Speaking to BBC Radio 4, Jane Sandell chief executive of UK Fisheries, said the failure to reach an agreement would mean her firm having only 40% of the fishing opportunities of previous years. She also criticised the government for failing "to deliver on all of the deals we previously had through the EU with third countries"

What they didn't understand was that the Tories were flat-out lying to them, didn't give a shit about them, had relentlessly mischaracterised the reality of the existing deals, and were prepared to sacrifice them in an instant.

I am pretty torn on this one as growing up on the coast in the South West I'm well aware of how important it is to these people and their livelihoods. I don't want to see it disappear, especially as our waters are great for fishing - which is why we sold off so much access in the first place. But our fishing is also largely moribund; it's a largely low-tech industry run by people who live in the past and use equipment from decades ago, up against bigger, better funded, better equipped foreign alternatives. It's an industry that should exist in this country, and should thrive. I just don't see how it continues in its current form.
