Michael Portillo made the same analogy on last Thursday's This Week programme: Mr Portillo said the European Union “humiliated” Britain in its Withdrawal Agreement which has been ridiculed by both Brexiteer and Remainer politicians. Speaking on BBC This Week, Mr Portillo said: “I think the European Union has made a strategic error, short of marching Mrs May into a railway carriage in ...
Roger Kendrick spoke at the CBI conference where cameras were present, I am absolutely sure he would have made his point even if cameras were not there. The CBI has steadfastly supported Remain, so it was no surprise his comments did not go down well, Treason May was amongst friends. She doesn't do awkward events/interviews.
@Losit You seem befuddled. The ECHR and ECJ are two entirely separate entities. And if all goes well, the ECJ will soon have no power in the UK.
Negotiations on the UK side are being conducted by Olly Robbins who was once Principal Private Secretary to Tony Blair, and while studying at Oxford was president of the Oxford Reform Club, a group promoting a federal EU.

GWR trains run fine during stormy weather, it's just the useless Cross Country rolling stock that can't cope with the waves. Whoever made the decision to commission trains that aren't fit for purpose is to blame.
You're having a laugh. It is the EU that has not negotiated, Brussels considers the EU project to be sacrosanct will not allow anything to undermine that idealogy. It's why after two years we are barely any further forward. The only option is for a no-deal exit, a negotiated withdrawal is impossible. It would help if we had a PM who believes in Brexit.
