Because of negotiating training 101; The other side needs to know that you are prepared to walk away from the deal. Your barging power is severely weakened without that option. Remainers know that but they see an option to force a soft (almost melted) Brexit.


Didn't one of your best mates write a book on deal making... Donald... something or other? Might be worth you getting a copy... they're probably going pretty cheap in the UK

Agree with all your comments. The Lords are proving their worth as a robust check and balance to a Ukip-emulating Parliament.

Wonder how long it'll be before some shining wit comes along and says it's due to education standards...

It's not as simple as that, certainly not for us anyway, tariffs are easy to negotiate or absorb, services much harder to include in trade deals

Don't worry Den, nothing we discuss on this forum will have the slightest impact on the outcome of Brexit. Besides, we have discussed everything at length, more than once, so a bit of humour now and then isn't a bad thing is it?

Some might say that humour is used to build bridges and I know the rift between Leave and Remain is something that concerns you so a laff might be just what the Doctor ordered eh? As others have said a laff is all that it is

Mine is the personification of a withered and forgotten spirit trapped inside cable forum and who is desperate to escape. Yours looks pretty much the same to me .
I'll change it soon though; change is good .
