Andrew's point that the EU is playing by the rules is a very thin copout and as i said if it's the rules then again the UK is doing nothing wrong as at this time we are still a member state and bound by the same rules.

Your right it was unfair to call you dishonest, however I'm not so sure it's a copout, I don't know for sure but I'd suggest the reason the EU want to play it straight down the line is because it plays into our hands if they don't, imo our best strategy is divide and conquer, to get these little countries self interest piqued, it's the sort of diplomacy we used to be famous for and kept an empire going for generations when others relied more on subjugation. It's been a long time since we conducted affairs like that, we've let the EU do if for us for decades, perhaps we're not up to that level anymore and perhaps Mrs May knows it. Why do you think the EU won't play ball?
