Aside from the fact that I did place the quote at the opposite extreme to your bizarre attempt to paint Jones’ resignation as a great act of patriotism, what do you say to the claim that Guido’s source in government suggests that Jones is actually just another arch remainer in the upper echelons of the civil service that has finally realised the game is up?
Not really such a bizarre comment of mine when the context was a response to Seph.
Civil servants pride themselves on being apolitical and have worked hard to deliver Brexit, regardlessof their feelings one way or the other. Those I've met have actually been largely pro Brexit due to the career opportunities it's opened up.
Slurring a senior civil servant as a Remainer because he takes a stand on being asked to undermine or potentially break an international treaty is lazy, desperate or probably both.
Let's see how this plays out. It's not a good omen.
