Britain Humiliated Itself by Imploding From a Modern Democracy into a Far Right Wing Country — And the World Is Running Away From It as Fast as It Can.

Rightly, a central tenet of British foreign policy has long been to abide – and to expect others to abide – by international law.

We are stuck in the Tory game of make-believe that everything is coming up roses in an English country garden. The reality is that following Brexit the rest of the world looks at England with a mixture of perplexity, pity, and amused contempt.

Boris Johnson’s rotten regime has not covered itself in glory. / For an un-jaundiced sense of how post-Brexit – sorry Global – Britain is viewed from abroad as the wheels fall off Boris Johnson’s rotten regime, Italy is a good place to start.

Prime minister personifies British hostility to international democratic norms.

Boris Johnson’s plans to shred the Northern Ireland protocol have no basis in law, economics or diplomacy.

Downing Street has briefed the media that the British government is planning legislation purporting to give the UK the power to renege on the legally-binding Northern Ireland Brexit protocol.

Across the world, there is incomprehension at what we have done to ourselves.

It has not even been five months since the end of the Brexit transition period and there have been armed patrol vessels in the Channel.

British government has broken its own solemn legal and political commitments.

We begin this editorial with an apology to you, our faithful readers. In March, we described the Brexit situation, then careening through its third year and nowhere close to resolution, as an “omnishambles.”

How did the UK get in this situation where those overseas see us with a mixture of incredulity and sadness? It’s a story of political deceit and disinformation

As the parliament in Westminster continues its descent into anarchy you could be forgiven for thinking that British politics has reached a state of such utter dysfunction that it may never recover. Thank God then for Scotland which - in an increasingly lunatic world - looks like it will emerge from the morass of Brexit with its dignity intact.

The Brexit vote was driven by false propaganda. Indian media is just as tendentious, with a rabble rousing social media to boot.

‘Global Britain’ now apparently means making silly gestures and pretending to be more powerful than we are, at enormous cost to our economic well-being.

Nowadays, Britain’s words and actions on the world stage are so at odds with its values that one must wonder what has happened to the country. Since the June 2016 Brexit referendum, British foreign policy seems to have all but collapsed — and even to have disowned its past and its governing ideas.
