Speaking to LBC Radio, Brexiteer James claimed the UK Government had betrayed the 17.4 million Britons who voted for Brexit in the June 2016 Referendum by agreeing to a backstop that could


see the UK shackled to the EU until December 2021. The radio caller argued the latest document put forward by Theresa May and David Davis outlining the details of the Brexit backstop was the


final victory for Remainers trying to reverse Britons decision.  He said: “I feel we have been betrayed, 17.4 million of us have been betrayed. “We haven’t got our foot out the door, we


won’t get our foot out the door until 2021, presumably. “And that won’t be a cast in stone because I will tell this now to Theresa May and all you Remoaners out there, the joy you taste


right now will turn to acid in your mouth. “We may not have our chance now, but the 17.4 million of us, we will have our chance. “Brexit is over, you can say that. Free movement of people


will continue until 2021. “The European Court will continue until 2021. We should have left.” As the call progressed, James got himself so worked up, he had to end the call. He continued: “I


am so angry, Remainers have your wish, you can keep us in the EU, I do not care anymore. “I have lost interest. “I will pay the government of the day back in 2021 when we go to the polls.


“I am so angry Shelagh, I am going to end the call.” On Thursday, after a series of tussles between Prime Minister Theresa May and her Brexit Secretary David Davis, Downing Street published


the Brexit backstop with an aspirational time limit in order to keep Brexiteers happy. The document read: “The UK is clear that the temporary customs arrangement, should it be needed, should


be time-limited, and that it will be only in place until the future customs arrangement can be introduced. "The UK is clear that the future customs arrangement needs to deliver on the


commitments made in relation to Northern Ireland. "The UK expects the future arrangement to be in place by the end of December 2021 at the latest. There is a range of options for how a


time limit could be delivered, which the UK will propose and discuss with the EU.” The document was published just hours after Theresa May held crunch talks with David Davis to ward off a


resignation over her plans for a “backstop” customs system for Northern Ireland. Her discussions with Mr Davis, in her parliamentary office, are understood to have lasted more than 30


minutes. Her spokeswoman said Mrs May expects Mr Davis to still be in his post by the end of the day. She said: "She had constructive discussions with the Brexit secretary this morning


and she also met other cabinet ministers.”
