Listening to the Euro stuff on the news as I sit here

And there's all this stuff about how the EU officials are insisting
that
we do this and insisting that we do that

and I can't help but come to the conclusion that much of what they are
doing is simply "shooting the messenger"

I'm concluding they are doing *exactly* what 'we' would have done if the
positions were reversed.

And you really can't say you weren't warned.

You have to be Turnip to behave like a c**t and expect others to be
gentlemen towards you.

I'm sure that a lot of us who voted Leave did so in the hope that the
other countries might come up with a better offer for us to stay in.

If that were to happen that offer would have to come from the council of
ministers, who don't meet until next Monday.

Now, that may be very unlikely to happen but I do think that it should
be given the opportunity


I would argue that it is not possible to make a sensible decision about
leaving the EU until you know the terms and conditions of any future trade
and other agreements.

But it impossible to ever know that.

The EU are unlikely to offer what we might think of as favourable terms as
they do not wish to encourage others to leave.

Yes, but there is no need for favourable terms.

It appears, from what I heard on the radio, that we don't even have enough
experienced staff to run the negotiations properly.

Don’t need any negotiations, Britain out of the EU is free to trade
with the EU under the WTO rules, just like all of the US, Canada,
India, China, Taiwan, Australia, Korea etc etc do fine.
