Hulk or no Hulk

In the news today in case you don't read the Guardian:'In a withering joke, Verhofstadt said that “instead of playing the angry Hulk”, Johnson should play “the caring nanny of the film of Mrs Doubtfire” – to better protect 4.5 million citizens facing the huge uncertainty of a no-deal Brexit.Picking up on one key concern for the EU, Verhofstadt said the European parliament would never accept an agreement that would give the UK “all the advantages of free trade”, without aligning with European standards on social rights, environment and health.'

"Verhofstadt said the European parliament would never accept an agreement that would give the UK “all the advantages of free trade”, without aligning with European standards on social rights, environment and health.'"Precisely, and it's staggering that it's necessary for him to have to state this obvious objection: how many times does the EU have to say that we can't have the benefits of membership without, er, the actual membership? In other words, we can't have our cake and eat it. But Johnson still doesn't - or won't - get it. Really, you have to despair at such blind stupidity/ignorance of how things work.
