General Discussion
We've wasted over four years trying to negotiate with someone who doesn't really want to negotiate. We should've walked in 2016.
And hasn't Bojo also said something about a No Deal scenario showing a lack of statemanship? (feel sure there's a quote somewhere - if I can find it I'll post it). Addendum: Found it! Seems that BoJo is saying that if there is No Deal then it will not just be the EU's fault but that of the UK's as well. “Like you, I’ve looked carefully at no deal, I’ve assessed its consequences both for ...
It's irrelevant, what matters is the outcome of the negotiations over the next four days. but as the EU has today hit the panic button to start contingency plans for no agreement being reached, that looks the likely conclusion.

I have simple rules for myself: never write anything online that I would not say to someone face to face. think before I write and never write in ...
Who knows, 1263? But with a little effort and good will............
"I must say, that it would be nice to think that there was a forum for serious, intelligent discussion and debate" - maybe there is but this isn't it and never will be...
@Epicurus & @Don Pearson And there was I beginning to think "Can I be arsed anymore?". Praise indeed. Lovely to see both of you making your rare postings on this site. I for one would love to see you post more not least because I do feel a little 'lonely' on here sometimes.
