Andrew yo...Sorry for the rant but I feel better now<br />Andrew you seem to be be under the misapprehension that a negotiation took place. May did exactly what she was instructed to do and a whole lot more. But like all the shower of Sh1t in Westminster they have no comprehension of the British people. It was her intention to make the whole deal so unpalatable that the people would demand that the government revoke. Not only was there no negotiation, her and the team of traitors around her intentionally set about destroying our negotiation position, while giving the pretence that they were upholding the result of the referendum. First announcement Britain will pay 39 billion for no reason( populace screw that get us out) second we will pay more for our nuclear reactors then requested, third of course HS2 will go ahead. Every sensible solution suggested by the Eu rejected end replaced with a solution more detrimental to the British public. Each and every step of betrayal only increased our resolve to leave so the plan backfired. So she sat on her tattered document of abject surrender and only presented it when it was too late for her or anybody else to change it. The EU couldn’t believe their luck when it was almost passed through Parliament. The EU have had no negotiation to do and the worlds media laugh at us. Boris’s proposal is one of theirs but they can now reject with absolute confidence.<br />CU Cummings is absolutely correct but this should have been done day one. As I said from the start, there can not be a successful Uk and an EU. They are not our friends but our competitors.The country should have been on a war footing-from day one. We should have taken the innovative and driven the media from the start. Get the other 27 nations questioning what the benefits of boing in the uk are. The first thing we should have announced on day one was that Britain was no longer responsible for the protection of Europe and the second day, set up trade discussions with Putin. That would have broken the myth about the EU being responsible for peace in Europe and set the tone for the negotiation. Cummings’s biggest problem is Boris because Boris can’t say the things that need to be said without pointing out the absolute betrayal of the country by May and therefore his own party. Which is why Cummings is commenting in the Spectator where he can say what needs to be said.Suffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-5416756834605850032019-10-08T20:48:00.905+01:002019-10-08T20:48:00.905+01:00Djk

Am not sure now they have nearly 3 weeks to get their act together to stop no deal. <br /><br />I still hate no deal, the EU are being shitty but i expect that of a shitty organisation. But there is a path to leaving available and it is a tragedy to me that this is just ignored. <br /><br />No deal will be crap, not as awful as the remainers say, but still crap.

The Surrender Act removed all the undoubted pressure and worry the Irish were feeling.<br /><br />On Dominic Cummings, I think it's generally unwise to reveal your plans to the enemy, including the enemy within. But he has good form on the election-winning front, although I think our elites never thought they could lose, whereas now they will fight dirty.

Deal with us, ...It’s simply a reverse project fear.<br />Deal with us, or deal with it!<br /><br />Cummings wants the Eu to understand that no deal is real. That the Benn act won’t change the government’s mind. And that an election will give a leave supporting parliament the right to walk away and to hell with you.<br /><br />The EU, evidently, believe there will be an extension. And an election. And they hope remain supporting parliament wins. <br />If it doesn’t, they just agree the Boris proposals. The EU, thanks to the surrender act, has no need to negotiate on anything. So they won’t. Until forced to do so.<br /><br />Cummings is trying to force them to see believe that after he wins the next election for Boris, there will be no deal. Just out.<br /><br />Not sure the EU will believe that. Not even sure that i do. But that is the game being played.<br />Bill Quango MPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-83861444140939195802019-10-08T11:41:39.087+01:002019-10-08T11:41:39.087+01:00"...blasting your future negotiating partner ..."...blasting your future negotiating partner like this is very poor strategy."<br /><br />Oh dear, he's insulted the EU.
