@ majorp : i am confused at to what you are refering to when you say we are locked into. When you wrote " Now we are locked into something, that it appears is difficult to get out of.", I took what you refer to us being locked into as being the new draft withdrawal agreement and the NI border problem. Is this correct? OR did you mean our actual EU membership?
All i can say is roll on 11pm 29th March 2019 i have a big box of fireworks ready and waiting.

The question as I see it. What are the others thinking if there was a no deal and would they let it happen. I don't think so, as most of them have more to lose than we do. Who are we talking too in the negotiations, is it the EU as a whole or individual countries leaders or both?
