The EU won't negotiate until you have thrown yourself off the cliff. Its like handing in your notice before finding a new job, only the stupid would do it if there was a better alternative.
Is it any wonder the UK are busy trying to get agreements without the EU or triggering A50?“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

People need to understand that Article 50 was designed to give the EU all the cards. It was the 'Button that should never be pushed' We really need to do quite a lot work before pushing it, and not listen to nut jobs like IDS who are trying to rush it.Comment

Originally posted by GB9 View PostI agree. It is in the interests of both sides to have a sensible outcome. Unfortunately we have the likes of the Swedes with their veiled threats. It's like your wife leaving you but you still trying to tell her what she can do. She doesn't card what you think any more. The EU has to grasp that very quickly.Comment

You really are far far away in la-la land, aren't you?
It's going to be a very rude shock for many, when they learn what little clout a country with 3% of world GDP has
I blame poor maths teaching at school.
You can't really talk about complex issues without a basic grasp of proportions, ratios - basically O-level mathsComment

...and there's still no sign of "article 50". Looks like it now won't be the beginning of next year, the new "unofficial date" is April.

If there's no Brexit, there'll be rioting on the streets as all the old fools with one CSE come out on their zimmers waving their walking sticks, ranting puce-faced, before keeling over and dying.
Let's just get it over with.Comment

Originally posted by sirja View PostI really don't see how the UK can invoke article 50 before late next year. David Davies department will not even be up and running till the end of year. Then there's the whole process of developing what exactly 'Brexit' really means for the UK. What are the red lines?, what is Plan B should the negotiations not work? Then of course we've got the whole issue of the French and German elections. Maybe we could get a commitment right at the start of the process to extend it for another 2 years(Highly unlikely)
