It's all being done for the best of reasons though. All those thoroughly open-minded, magnanimous in defeat, folk are just trying to help the majority who voted for Bexit - FACT - see the gross error of our ways and we should thank them. They know we're making a big mistake and that what the UK really needed was to stay in the EU and be gradually subsumed into the EU amoeba. Only in this manner, under the glorious leadership of the Brussels elite can the UK survive as a first world nation...
Meanwhile back in the real world, Tusk's warning that the talks would be 'confrontational at times' is the reality but I wonder what the reaction of the usual suspects like Farron would have been had the PM chosen to use those words in her letter. Aggressive, arrogant, bullying, intimidatory maybe?...

You are correct. As Andrew pointed out, if Remain had won and then started moves to replace the Pound with Euro for example, they would be outraged.
The problem is that they are afraid that some of the more extreme Brexit scenarios may be taken away from them during the next 2 years.

Let's not forget that they also said we could remain in the single market too, ie have our cake and eat it.
Most people I know were marginal about the EU and came down reluctantly on one side or the neither. Few were madly pro-EU and few were madly leaving. The saw the strengths and weaknesses of the EU but didn't want to do anything drastic.

Nope, we're out of the single market. Trying to negotiate a free trade deal. There is a difference.

Agreed, but the single market is what David Davis promised.

As you say, unlike a few extremists, there wasn't extreme hatred of the EU on the part of the vast majority of the country.
Most people are pragmatic and if there is a deal that favours retaining some of the previous arrangements and this is demonstrably in the best interests of the country then this is more than likely what will happen.
The PM need to resist the calls from the right wing zealots and keep an open mind ..

The EU is clearing delaying any trade deal talks until the terms of the divorce are agreed:

The EU has outlined its strategy for Brexit negotiations, suggesting talks on a trade deal could begin once "sufficient progress" is made on a separation settlement with the UK.

Agreed but it seems that "Trade deal talks could begin once 'sufficient progress' is made" on the divorce settlement:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017...eu-watch-live/
This headline from the above is also interesting?
Quote:
EU will ban UK from cutting tax or scrapping regulation
Angela Merkel will insist that the U.K. rules out tax dumping as part of any trade deal struck during Brexit negotiations, a senior official from the German economy ministry has said.
"We don't want to erect barriers to trade, but we need fair dealings," German Deputy Economy Minister Matthias Machnig said in a Bloomberg Television interview.
He said:
We can only conclude a fair trade agreement with advantages for both sides if there are reasonable framework conditions in the areas of tax, regulation and the like.
A race to the bottom in tax and regulation matters would make trade relations difficult.

The issue will always be with any trading partners including of course the EU - the better the trade deal, the more things like movement of people and equality of taxation and regulations are required.
