    The EU continually blames the UK. They are not interested in negotiating. Only in making sure the UK is worse off. I just hope the Italians do the decent thing and stick it to the EU.
    Why? To be quite honest if I had the means and connections to send my boy to Eton or Harrow then I would do.

    They don't all turn out to be pompous twats!

    I realise you’re not interested in that, because any time you are asked about what is going on, the response is always “it’s the EU’s fault, boohoo, the EU isn’t playing fair” and when asked for evidence that the UK is trying to negotiate, or evidence that the EU is deliberately avoiding negotiations, the response is silence.

    Because I have a brain, unlike you, I don't have to be there to realise that the two teams are not "negotiating" on a basis of equality, but with the UK team as the supplicant.
    If that's not plainly obvious to you by now, it's because you're slack-jawed dumbkopf of cosmic proportions.

    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.

    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

    Does it have a 'healthy middle class' of consumer citizens, who spend and consume?
