Boris Johnson: UK becomes colony of EU

london - Former foreign minister Boris Johnson fears that the United Kingdom is on its way to becoming a colony of the European Union. He writes this Monday in his letter of resignation to British Prime Minister Theresa May. According to Johnson, his country is 'really on the way to colony status.'

'The dream of a brexit is dying, suffocated by needless doubts,' he says. Johnson states that he has fought hard to give the British people back their right to self-determination and to make Great Britain outside the European economic zone flourish 'as an open, outward looking and global economy. '

After Friday's cabinet compromise on a 'soft brexit', his country is on the way to a 'semi-brexit, with large parts of the economy still being signed to the EU, but with no control from the United Kingdom on that system. 'According to Johnson, Britain will not even be able to make its own laws in that situation.

In his letter of resignation he refers to his own experiences as mayor of London, where he wanted to take measures to improve the safety of cyclists in traffic by increasing the windscreens of truck cabins. This would make cyclists more visible. Johnson wanted to do something about the series of fatal bicycle accidents, in which women were killed. 'But we were told that we had to wait with measures until the European Union had introduced a law. '

Johnson writes that a country like the United Kingdom can not really be called independent 'if we can not introduce laws to save the lives of female cyclists. '
