How did the British tremble for their prime minister? Boris Johnson (55) was in the St. Thomas Hospital in London as a corona infected person for a week and even had to be supplied with oxygen for three days in the intensive care unit. His successor on Downing Street has already been discussed.
–
Now the curly head is back. He has recovered very well at the Checkers country estate in the company of his fiancee Carrie Symonds (32), who is only slightly ill with corona. They should become parents in summer.
–
No corona loosening yet
On Monday he took over government affairs again and the first thing to do was to prematurely relax the exit restrictions. “I understand your impatience,” he said. A second wave of diseases must be prevented. The strict rules apply until May 7th.
–
So far, over 20,000 people have died of corona in the UK – probably because of the fact that Johnson had slept through the pandemic and was only woken up when he was affected.
–
Not a penny too much to the EU
Anyone who thinks that the Corona pandemic knocked Brexit out of his head is wrong. As planned, Johnson wants to have defined future cooperation with the EU by the end of the year. Until then, a transitional regulation will apply, which will come into force after the resignation on January 31. Without a contract there is a hard break.
–
Johnson could easily reduce the pace as part of the Europe-wide corona lockdown and extend this transition period by two years. Such a thing does not occur to him even in the greatest crisis since World War II. Every penny more in the EU coffers would be one too many for him.
–
He already had his people continue to fight at a video conference with Brussels on April 20. The next one-week rounds of negotiations are announced on May 11 and June 1. The disagreements can hardly be overcome.
–
EU has other concerns
Hitzkopf Johnson will remain stubborn, no concessions are expected from Brussels. The German EU ambassador Michael Clauss (59) warns that the corona crisis will displace all other important issues: «From now on, the focus will be on the ability of the European institutions to act, crisis management, exit and reconstruction – possibly maintaining the EU integration per se.”
–
At the moment everything is tantamount to replacing the British without a free trade agreement. Neither a serious illness nor a baby seem to be able to stop Turbo-Johnson.
