This Sounds More Like It?

Bullish May draws plan for ‘no deal’ and prepares to spend billions on new border controls to keep British trade flowing if Brussels talks fail

A dose of reality finally. There will be no deal, ask pretty much any leaver. One of the reasons many voted to leave was because they were fed up with the bullying and intransigent EU. Add to that all the 26 Nations will need to approve and a desire to punish us it and it's common sense that we will end up walking away.

Better to spend money shoring up our borders than pay for Junkers bar bill.

some people think a weaker pound is a good thing. More tourists come here because it's cheaper/ fewer Brits go abroad because it's dearer. Good for exporters, bad for importers. Depends who you are.

> they have far more to lose

Do they?

The people doing their negotiating are Michel Barnier, Didier Seeuws and Guy Verhofstadt ... what are they trying to achieve? And therefore what do they stand to lose?

I'm glad to be recognised as a fair minded individual.

No one has put themselves in a weak position. Power groups of multiple nations are always likely to be able to behave unreasonably to single nations whom they wish to make unreasonable demands of. The world may have bigger problems, but the world has no problem being aware of more than one occurance at a time. The actions of countries and of power blocks won't go unnoticed.
