When is an agreement not an agreement?

When the UK government have negotiated it

David Davis has clashed with the Irish government after claiming that the Brexit divorce agreement between Britain and the EU was a “statement of intent” rather than something legally enforceable.
...
Theresa May also appeared to suggest there was still some flexibility in the deal reached at the end of last week, writing to all Tory MPs – ... – to set out the details of the agreement but promising that “nothing is agreed until everything is agreed”.

Let's go back to the beginning shall we?

Under EU law, there is a 14 day cooling off period for financial agreements in a B2C situation.

Good Morning Ireland on RTE radio had a general sense of amazement about how quickly Perfidious Albion had shown its true colours on the border question.

An agreement is not an agreement when made by a Brexiter.

Pre vote, when they thought they'd lose, they said any close vote should lead to a second vote as a close vote couldn't be considered a real victory.

They win a close vote, and they change their mind. The people have spoken, there can't be a second vote, we will get a deal and the remainers will have to like it and lump it. Remainers lost so suck it up. There will be no vote on the deal that is brokered.

We get a deal (or at least the start of a deal) and the self same Brexiters won't suck it up themselves, and Gove, within hours, is talking of having a vote by the people on if they agree with the deal.

Then d1ck hed Davis jumps in with pretty much the same Brexiter tulip.

Seems these wobble eyed loons will never be content. May just needs to get rid of them all and just crack on with a soft Brexit.

EU demands goalposts are moved again and all the toys put back in the pram.

Interesting to watch the reaction of someone who has never been told no before being told no isn't it?

Indeed I imagine the EU will cave in on this point.
