    It's not the "Remoaners" who need to relax and get over it. It's clear there will be a Brino deal.

    Fury as EU demand fishing rights

    It's the Brexiteers who need to stop "getting in a fury".

    I'm alright Jack

      Haven't you notice people constantly posting 'Narnia'? Don't you get what they mean?

      They mean there are no other countries we can trade with. There are no other products or services we can magic up. Exiting EU trade relationships just means we have to repalce them. Not only does everyone think it will be a big struggle to replicate them, a lot of people fear we'll be bullied (eg India labour access, Australasian/America low grade agricultural products etc).

      So yes mate - you lost your pay packet. But, hey ho, you gamblers are used to that. Water off a duck's back.
      Look again with the histrionics - the UK has a population of approx 60 million the vast majority of whom have money to spend.

      No country in the world is going to turn it's back on the UK market - and it is in the EU's interests to keep as many trade deals with the UK as possible - for the benefit of the population of the EU who benefit from those trade deals.

      Or do you think the EU will turn it's back on the UK out of spite regardless of the impact it will have on the average man on the EU street?

        From the perspective of the EU with its population of 500 million 60 million is pretty small.

        Would the UK make big compromises to conclude a trade deal with a country of 6 million ?

        probably not

        The UK will cave and do a deal with the EU on their terms.

        I'm alright Jack

          2018 Figures: 66 Million out of 512 Million EU citizens. (So 446 Million EU citizens after we leave, a 12% loss)

          Is the 6 million country a net recipient or a net beneficiary of EU funds?
          Does it have a 'healthy middle class' of consumer citizens, who spend and consume?

            None of that matters if the country in question is incapable of making a deal - even though Liam Fox said it would be the “easiest thing in human history” and David Davis said it would be “easy”. Over two years later, it is clear that what you voted for is either a lie, not easy, or they are not capable.

            Which one is it?
            …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

              They exaggerated and it is not easy.

              The clue is when people start using multiple superlatives in the same sentence, usually.

              Then again, vast numbers of the populace expect politicians to lie (or at least exaggerate/misconstrue), in order to continue their employment, salary & generous expenses.

              Did/do you not?

                I think you miss the point.

                You could say it is easy to walk down Deansgate in Manchester - but if every time you took a step I kicked you in the bollocks it would rapidly become very difficult to walk down Deansgate in Manchester.

                So yes it should have been easy but it seems a very small number EU politicians have decided for the 500 million folk in the EU that they should make it difficult for reasons.

                Reasons which involve words like gravy train, personal greed and not giving a fook about anyone else.

                  So in the negotiations currently underway, who is caving ?

                  Before you answer your question checkout comments by Messrs Davis, Farage, Rees-Mogg and Johnson, to get a true Brexiteer's perspective.

                    You tell me exactly what has been agreed by whom and then, I can answer your question.

                    I am not in the room of the negotiators, so I don't personally know who has agreed what and therefore, who has 'caved' (read compromise, as with all negotiations) on what.

                    Holding my breath for your next reply
