Good. Hard Brexit it is. They've had, what, 4 years to make any meaningful concessions and they spent 3 of those fighting tooth and nail to get literally only everything they wanted.
If your opposing negotiator's position is "kill yourself", then you don't negotiate, you tell them to "come and take it".
I've always been in favour of a trade deal - a good trade deal, that is.
"Surrender Northern Ireland and your territorial waters for the opportunity to be subject to EU regulations while no longer having any say at all in them" is about as far as I can picture from a good deal.
If you're not going to do us the courtesy of offering a workable deal, kindly leave the table so you can attend to your affairs while we attend to ours...
I want to be an EU negotiator now.
"You and what Navy? ... Go ahead, do it faggot."
Keep Calm and Molan Labe
To be fair, the EU's preferred negotiating position is to have the EU on one side of the table, and a negotiating team that the EU has completely co-opted on the other side of the table, in effect leaving it negotiating with itself.
I'm not sure it's actually used to negotiating with people who aren't operating in the EU's interests - given how long it's taken to get trade deals with other nations, I'm not sure I'd be wrong to say that it simply can't do so...
Do you have a loicense for that rhetoric, sonny jim? I thought not, off to the cells...
Yeah, I got you're licence right here.
