So Boris 'Trust me' Johnson has ditched the workers rights pledge and the environmental pledge from the withdrawal agreement. Quell surprise as they say. Some people never learn.
Either do the morons who voted for them. Given that they have the intellectual capacity of a toothpaste lid (especially those on here), you would think workers’ rights would resonate with them.
I think it really does boil down to people thinking it won't be them that gets shat on so sod it. Let someone else pick up the tab. In response to that I'm reminded of Martin Neimoller's old prose poem...
"First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me"

You can’t blame those fooled into voting for these scumbags. And insulting th m isn’t going to win them back either.

1. Yes you can - stupidity is not a virtue
2. Only Blairite centrist figures can win them back.
