UK people did not vote for colony status but Brexit deal will result in same: Johnson

Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May and the European Union are stages managing a Brexit deal that will doom the United Kingdom to the status of a colony, former British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said on Tuesday.

"No one is fooled by this theatre. Delay after staged managed delay," Johnson wrote on Twitter. "A deal will be reached and it will mean surrender by the UK.

"We will be doomed to remain in the customs union and under Brussels' regulatory control. People did not vote for colony status," he said. "The future can be bright if only we change course now."
