QUOTE (newres @ Jul 9 2018, 05:45 AM) Yes; might as well come out with our hands up now. Really frightening bit comes next. Presumably the likes of Rees-Mogg and Johnson come in as 'serious contenders'. So, little wonder the pundits are bigging up the football either way it goes, national attention will be deflected.....triples all round.

In my opinion, David Davis couldn't negotiate his away out of a paper bag so I'm not that fussed to see the back of him. The new guy, Dominic Raab, looks quite intelligent from his CV so hopefully this might be an improvement.

Brexiteers are deluded in thinking we just need to be tougher and we’ll get what we want. A bit like raising our voices and speaking slowly so the foreigners understand.

I am very much a Remainer but if we have to carry on with this madness that is Brexit then we should at least try to get the best deal possible. If I had my way then we would end this farce by having a second referendum and then simply carry on with the status quo as a result. However, I can't see that happening because the ideological zealots who originally championed Brexit are not pragmatic enough to accept the reality of the hardship that it is going to cause economically.

It might be madness, but the EU has some massive problems and is not interested in reform, we should announce that we are simply walking away and will only pay that which is due. Sometimes it is worth sacrificing the short term for sake of the long term.

Sometimes it is worth sacrificing the short term for sake of the long term. Totally agree. And it's been the issue for years. Right now, the negotiating philosophy of the EU executive defies logic. Yes, there would be some short term pain, but we'd have a far better future trading with people who might be unpleasant, but at least are honest.
