'MDS' spells it out

Alas, these days my memory isn't all that it used to be which is possibly why I have difficulty remembering the name of the bloke in my shaving mirror every morning.  In my title above, I refer to "MDS" which, regular readers will know, refers to 'My Darling' somebody or other, in this particular case, 'My Darling Sherelle' Jacobs at The Telegraph, but I have that uneasy feeling that there have been several other 'MDSs' over the years but for the life of me I cannot think of their names.  Never mind, this particular 'MDS' is absolutely spot on in her clinical analysis of the fervent, half mad, European bureaucracy.

She compliments B0ris: 

Since becoming PM, he has surprised everyone from paranoid Brexiteers to complacent centrists by forming a serious no-deal Cabinet and bellowing for the “abolition” of the backstop from the despatch box.

Of course, such unpredictability is anathema to homo bureaucratus, that snarling, slow-witted behemoth in Brussels [my emphasis] that Mr Johnson must take on. True to form, the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, responded to our new PM with the contemptuous raising of a single legalistic eyebrow; in a communiqué to EU members, he rejected our PM’s “combative” request for “unacceptable” concessions.

The recent 'change' of the top leadership in the EU apparat was conducted in the sort of undemocratic manner not seen since the old East Germany last changed its head of state, and lives down to her description of them as a "bureaucratic psychopath".  Whether Boris knows it yet I do not know but I definitely think that his 'hitman', Dominic Cummings, does, and he realises that being lumberingly stupid this bureaucratic behemoth will be incapable of subtle and agile negotiating.  Thus, a no deal Brexit is virtually certain.

To repeat a rather crude expression I have used many a time and oft', the Euro-maniacs have always detested us and our history and they will never - ever! - give us even the pickings of their silly noses in order to strike a sensible deal.  So go to it, Boris, and just walk away!

So Sherelle is writing Boris is "[F]orming a serious no-deal Cabinet and bellowing for the “abolition” of the backstop from the despatch box."

Methinks she's to be my MDS too David. But this time David I notice you've not put in your usual, wanting her to have babies and since you've not - stand aside man, I'll take over from here at sending her mailed invitations.

Mayhaps Boris is in possession of 'a better deal' than simply a no deal?

JK, sometimes David probably needs a rest. Only so many "Dufflets" can be allowed in the gene pool.

As for Brexit, Great Britain is a net payer to the system, so why would the EUrats make it easy for them to go?
