Climb down begins?
That's an extraordinary statement for a man who seemingly just won a vote

I wish I lived in the same world as Boris,
Where you can just say whatever you want and tell people it's the truth with absolutley zero basis.

And I love how this chump annonces what the EU will do
Thinking that we will oblige like some zombified Smurfs to the voice of our dear leader.

Amazing... anyone would think with this amount of back peddling that the game plan wasn't actually to win.
It's as if he wanted to lose by just a small margin so he could challenge the legitimacy of Cameron's leadership without collapsing the EU. Or something.

Has the story changed since you posted the link?
Can't see the bit where he's pushing to remain in the EU.

this?
Mr Johnson said Britain would always be "part of Europe" and "there will continue to be free trade, and access to the single market".
which we know means accepting pretty much the deal we had before, or the Norwegian model...which means less power than we had for the same output.

Well...
"part of Europe"
You don't have to be a member of the EU to be European.
"there will continue to be free trade, and access to the single market"
That's what the leave side has been arguing all along.
The question is if they can deliver that in the negotiations.
The remain side have argued like you that it cannot be done or may be a worse deal.
Lets see on that.
I still don't see the bit where he's calling to remain in the EU.

it's pretty difficult to see anything
with your head in the sand.
EDIT: "EU citizens living in this country will have their rights fully protected, and the same goes for British citizens living in the EU. British people will still be able to go and work in the EU; to live; to travel; to study; to buy homes and settle down," he said.
that's free movement of people too... so exactly where is the "brexit"?
are you sure you weren't duped into helping boris oust cameron... or you sure you are not just a pawn in a bullington chess match?

Ok.. I'm assuming you've miss read the article and not being intentionally misleading.
"EU citizens living in this country will have their rights fully protected, and the same goes for British citizens living in the EU. "
Do you not read this as talking about people that are already living here and abroad?
"British people will still be able to go and work in the EU; to live; to travel; to study; to buy homes and to settle down."
That's not free movement. You can do all this in other countries that we don't have a political union with.
The rest of the quote goes on to say.
"As the German equivalent of the CBI – the BDI – has very sensibly reminded us, there will continue to be free trade, and access to the single market. "
This was reported last night and is a good sign that we will get the arrangement we were told would not be possible. Unless you're suggesting Germany has lost it's hold over the EU.
"The only change – and it will not come in any great rush – is that the UK will extricate itself from the EU’s extraordinary and opaque system of legislation: the vast and growing corpus of law enacted by a European Court of Justice from which there can be no appeal. This will bring not threats, but golden opportunities for this country – to pass laws and set taxes according to the needs of the UK. "
So.... Brexit.
"Yes, the Government will be able to take back democratic control of immigration policy, with a balanced and humane points-based system to suit the needs of business and industry. "
Brexit, and confirms the 1st point.
Now, who's got their head in the sand having difficulty seeing things?
If anyone is a pawn or being duped I would suggest it was you who seems to have been convinced by this article that we're about to go against the democratic will of the country and remain within the EU.

when I looked earlier there wasn't anything about remaining
but it did contain the phrase, attributed to him, saying
'we should "increase" levels of cooperation with the EU'

Sounds like the BBC has been cherry picking quotes then.
Here's the actual paragraph in his article.
"I cannot stress too much that Britain is part of Europe, and always will be. There will still be intense and intensifying European cooperation and partnership in a huge number of fields: the arts, the sciences, the universities, and on improving the environment. EU citizens living in this country will have their rights fully protected, and the same goes for British citizens living in the EU."
