Well said, Rods Albs. 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Could Mr Rods and Mr Nickbat be one and the same?

Nah....just kidding.

[Kevin Wood]

I suspect EU big business will allow the Brussels technocrats blather on about their fundamental principals and how there's no reverse gear, how we can't order a round then leave the pub, etc.. right down to the wire, then they will apply serious pressure on governments on both sides of the channel for a compromise and something will be sorted out pretty much in spite of the EU.

Having such an inept government, and an equally clueless opposition, is doing us no favours at all, however.

Why don,t our weak and ineffective government just tell Barnier that he,s getting nowt and be done with it.

Why don,t our weak and ineffective government just tell Barnier that he,s getting nowt and be done with it.

Because the one universal truth about politicians is that they are all self serving roaches.

There are enough brexit sceptic Conservative MPs that to walk away now would trigger the breakdown of Weak n Wobbly's government, they've also been so ineffectual since may that it would trigger an election they couldn't be certain of winning.  Particularly as they would likely be leaderless at that point.

So, we go through the motions.

A bit like a plumber clearing a manhole?

Stemo, have a gold star!

I was hoping someone would go with "swimming on Blackpool beach". But close enough!

Ploughing through all the shite is what it must feel like when negotiating with Barnier and Co. Don’t think I’d last five minutes with them, but at least we’d be out in no time

Well we have found more money. I wonder just where HM gov will find the astronomical figure (whatever it actually is).

I signed a petition today for just walk away.

I also would like to know if in the event of a no deal, does the Uk still have to pay that money?

I also had to smile , only today Hungary has used up all of its so many year EU development grants (we , the citizens' money) and wants another 5 billion euros. Where is that going to come from? the EU money tree?  

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I will be happy enough if they sign up to a huge amount of money, to be paid in relatively small instalments over a very long period of time.
The whole thing is bound to fall apart in the not too distant future, so we would end up paying three fifths of far call. 

[Sir Tigger KC]

If Hungary decided to leave the EU, would the EU honour all of it's commitments and carry on paying them for X amount of years? 

Or would they just say "Bye then!"   

[Varche]

Yes of course.
