Another Pearl Harbour,but this time with an ultimatum ?

Big business Japanese allies of the Gurdina are quoted in the main story on the website in an Oriental Operation Osore:

Japan says next British PM must not lead UK out of EU without deal 

We see the return of an old favourite -- JIT stocking-- here as well:

“There are a few Japanese auto manufacturers operating in the United Kingdom and some parts are coming from continental Europe, and right now they have very smooth operations....“Their stock for each part is only for a few hours, but if there is [a] no-deal Brexit and if they have to go through actual custom[s] inspection, physically, those operations may not be able to continue. And many companies are worried about [the] implications, because they don’t know what’s going to happen.

Meanwhile, staunch defender of the Union M Kettle is, well, banging on and on:

If Boris Johnson becomes prime minister, Britain will be sleepwalking towards the break-up of the United Kingdom. The minority who want this to happen [including ScotNats?] are rubbing their hands at the prospect. The separate minority who say they don’t care if it happens [after years of ScotNattery?] seem beyond reasoned debate at present

Kettle pauses the thumping for a paragraph:

This is a problem with very deep and entangled historical roots. It embraces the centuries-long uneasy relationship between Britain and Ireland, and the increasingly confrontational modern one between Britain and Scotland. It highlights the failure of successive constitutional settlements to give a particular voice to Englishness.  

But it soon gest focused again:

Of the original contenders, probably only Rory Stewart possesses what one could call an intuitive understanding of Scotland and the union. This week’s offer by Jeremy Hunt to include Davidson in any Brexit negotiating team is a rare recognition that the union is genuinely at stake in the Brexit battle., [while Johnson is quoted as hostile] “Allowing the Scots to make their own laws, while free-riding on English taxpayers … is simply unjust,” he once wrote. He said in 2012 that public expenditure in London was of greater value to the country than public expenditure in Strathclyde – and says that when the Scottish government overspends “they will come cap in hand to Uncle Sugar in London. And when they do, I propose that we tell them to hop it.”

I suspect that the Gruan would be horrified at the popularity of those views too, and has no idea that it has probably increased Johnson's support by quoting them  Scottish unicorns are left unchallenged:

The SNP’s offer in 2019 is more separatist than in 2014. Back then, it said it wanted to keep the pound and maintain customs and market alignment with the UK. Now, post-Brexit, it feels confident enough to reject those links.

And there are hints of an old Tory campaign slogan:

If a future Corbyn government finds itself dependent on the nationalists, it seems certain that he would give the SNP the independence referendum it seeks – and might even support its yes campaign.

I never thought I would say this about a Murdoch owned newspaper, but the Times has a much more useful, informative and balanced piece on the pros and cons of 'no deal' . If only we could have had this earlier!
