Is Boris Johnson Making Britain Great Again? There is a shifting political movement, not only in America but now too in the United Kingdom. On Thursday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson and President of the EU Commission Jean-Claude Juncker held a press conference to discuss the BREXIT deal.
Jean-Claude Juncker opened with the following: “This is a fair and balanced agreement. It is a testament to our commitment to finding solutions. It provides certainty where BREXIT creates uncertainty. It protects the rights of our citizens, and it protects peace and security on the island of Ireland. The deal is not about us; the deal is about people and peace.“

Prime Minister Boris Johnson went on to share this: “This deal represents a very good deal both for the EU and the UK. It’s a reasonable, fair outcome and reflects the large amount of work that’s been undertaken by both sides. It is important to protect the peace process on the island of Ireland and Northern Ireland. And of course, for us in the UK, it means that we can deliver a real BREXIT that achieves our objectives. And it means that the UK leaves the EU whole and entire on October 31st.”
“It means that Northern Ireland and every other part of the UK can take part not just in free trade deals, offering our tariffs and exporting our goods around the world. But it also means that we can make together as a single United Kingdom decisions about our future, about our laws, our borders, our money, and how we want to run the UK. And those decisions will be taken in the UK by elected representatives of the people of the UK. And I hope very much now, speaking of elected representatives, that my fellow MPs in Westminster do now come together to get BREXIT done, to get this excellent deal over the line, and to deliver BREXIT without any more delay so that we can focus on the priorities of the British people, improving our health service, investing in more police, lifting up the living wage and many other things.”
“Now is the moment to get BREXIT done, and then together to work on building our future, which I think can be incredibly positive for both the UK and the EU.”

Johnson concluded: “We’ve been at this now for three-and-a-half years and it hasn’t always been an easy experience for the UK. It’s been long, it’s been painful, it’s been divisive. And now is the moment for us as a country to come together, now is the moment for our parliamentarians to come together and get this done to begin building a new and progressive partnership with our EU friends and with whom, of course, we share so many priorities.”

President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker also said: “Where there is a will, there is a deal. We have one! It’s a fair and balanced agreement for the EU and the UK and it is a testament to our commitment to find solutions.”
“I believe it is high time to complete the withdrawal process and move on, as swiftly as possible, to the negotiation on the European Union’s future partnership with the United Kingdom,” he added.

Jean-Claude Juncker is clearly on board to help Boris Johnson deliver the new BREXIT deal by October 31st:

Boris Johnson’s movement is fully centered on the people of the UK taking back control of their country:

We’ve got a great new deal that takes back control — now Parliament should get Brexit done on Saturday so we can move on to other priorities like the cost of living, the NHS, violent crime and our environment #GetBrexitDone #TakeBackControl pic.twitter.com/etNQNeIfgw

In watching the political environment in Britain over the past year, it has been overwhelmingly similar to watching the political environment in America over the past four-plus years. The will of the people, whether in America or Great Britain, seems to be very clearly an anti-globalist movement. Since Boris Johnson took office in July, it is apparent that he’s delivering so far on his version of “Promises Made, Promises Kept” for the people of the UK to take back control of their country.
From July, 2019: Boris Johnson’s Rise Is Another Sign Of Global Political Transformation:
Brexit in Britain, like Trump in America, sparked a political realignment, with the capital pitted against the countryside; the elites ensconced in the very largest metro areas versus small-town traditionalists and beleaguered mining and manufacturing centers. London (and Scotland) voted 60 percent against Brexit, the rest of England 57 percent in favor.
By endorsing Brexit, the Eton and Oxford graduate Johnson opted for the countryside, just as Trump did, even when riding down an escalator on Fifth Avenue. Globalist elites responded with scorn — until the votes were counted. Then, far from taking defeat in sportsmanlike stride, they went to work trying to undermine the legitimacy of the result and reverse it by all means.
The voters on the winning side were old people and racists resisting the future, they claimed, manipulated by crafty Russians. In America, they bogged down the Trump administration by blocking appointments and promoting lengthy probes of far-fetched charges. In Britain, the unelected civil servants on whom Prime Minister Theresa May relied worked with unelected EU leaders to block Brexit.
Some establishment types may really believe that Trump is Hitler and that Brexit will plunge Britain into another Great Depression. Most of them drip with contempt for ordinary citizens and, astonishingly, seem to think it entirely healthy and consistent with democracy to overturn the decision of the voters. They are sure they are better than ordinary people.
Those attitudes are unjustified. Johnson’s three top Cabinet appointees are of Muslim, Hindu and Jewish ancestry: Nationalism doesn’t mean white supremacy. He is looking for advice not from unelected civil servants but, reportedly, from Dominic Commings, mastermind of the 2016 Leave campaign, who has repeatedly out-strategized them.
Politically, Johnson’s in no position to break his promise to deliver Brexit by Oct. 31, with or without an EU agreement. He brushes aside establishment predictions of economic disaster — all wrong so far — and talks of what his “amazing country” will do once freed of undemocratic EU ukases, like its member states’ ban on genetically modified crops. Power is shifting. How far, we shall see.
From what I’ve seen so far, Johnson is helping to make the UK Great Again and this opinion seems to be held by the majority of the people of Great Britain.
