Boris Johnson 'Chose to Sign up for Brexit in Name Only,' Commentator Says
Conservative MP Daniel Kawczynski has urged Britain’s Prime Minister not to cave into EU demands over the UK’s fishing rights. The comments from Kawczynski follow reports from Brussels which suggested that the EU was anticipating the UK to surrender its fishing waters to ensure that Britain would no longer be subject to any of the EU's regulations.
With more on this story, Sputnik spoke to the political commentator Brian Silvester, in this interview.
Sputnik: With the UK being pressured into giving up its fishing rights… What effect would this have on Brexit?
Brian Silvester: Well, I'm very surprised to hear that this Tory MP has said that because he or she knows full well that Boris has signed us up to Brexit in name only. That's what he agreed to last October and that is what was voted through in January by the new House of Commons.
Boris signed that international treaty in January and so he has signed us up to Brexit in name only, which means that the European Union will still have control over us, now that I find that extremely sad indeed and Boris has let down totally the 17.4 million who voted for Brexit.
He said he was going to get Brexit done and he has done the opposite.
