"I'll squeam and I'll squeam" might work on holidays with your parents, but in the real world, they're laughing at her when she leaves the room.  She is not gaining any respect; she is achieving nothing positive with them.

 

 Let's hear what your negotiating position would be when faced with a union of countries that want to make an example of you as a deterrent to anybody else thinking of jeapordising the future of the EU. Perhaps with a guitar and an upside down cap laid out in front?

For @Andrew I think it was.

I can see what you're saying but 'no deal' is likely to be far worse than a bad deal.

 

The EU will know this when the time comes, as will we. No deal would hurt us far more than them. She's threatening to chop our leg off in order to take out one of their toes.

Didn't watch it but word is the Corbynista did quite well. If he fails here he can take over Venezuela.

It's gonna be a full out war man. They will be looking to break us. Send the SAS in now and get it over with.

She's got no intention of it and things will get sticky if they call her bluff. They've got us over a barrel either way but the ability to "take out one of their toes" is pretty much the only leverage she has so needs to at least posture towards that

You know, I actually think that might be one of the better negotiating strategies.

Suppose so. What a grim state of affairs though.

I'd rate him at about a 7.435.

 

I just wish he'd say "yes I would drone the shit out of some terrorist threat cunt under the right circumstances".

 

May made him look like a superstar though.

Aye, agreed

I mean Millwall could take Luxembourg and The Headhuters end could deal wiv Estonia or Latvia or some other non-country.

So you can figure out she has no intention, but you don't think they can?  Do you see the problem?

 

They're laughing at Trump too, but he has the advantage of being completely fucking insane.  That would be leverage.

Yeah there are moments when you want him to commit to something or other that is a hot button for the electorate and he never quite does it. His mindset is basically that of a 80's social worker. The recent suits are pukka mind and he's done something with his hair.

So true.

[Meenzer 14083]

Small Mercies Dept. but at least now we know May won't be fighting the 2022 GE, there's no way the Tories will let her tarnish their brand like this for five more years regardless of what happens with Brexit.

 

(There we go, fate duly tempted. See you in here in five years for the vilification. )

[Park Life 70]

Has to be said tho him and Labour are on the comeback and big time. We need one more scandal.

Yes I see the problem, they have us over a barrel either way like I said. You still haven't offered an alternative negotiating stance though

[Park Life 70]

Trump is going to bankrupt the EU with this NATO back-pay thing he's made up.

Don't make threats you clearly can't backup.  As you've said, they've got her over a barrel either way, so why lose face with a move with no value?

 

Do suggest leverage if you actually have it.  Otherwise, you just have to do the best deal you can do, without being soft as shite.

 

You do understand that negotiation isn't actually like Gordon Gekko in Wall Street?  Certainly not in the EU.

Well this is the thing isn't it? We are literally fucked in these negotiations with May in charge. We need a powerful charismatic leader to schmooze a sub optimal  deal (the best we can get), yet here we have this pathetic "difficult  woman" thinking this self proclaimed character is a virtue. Pure self mutilation stuff this.

I can assure you they are shitting it as well.

Honestly, Corbyn is your best option.  Not sure how he fares on the "not being soft as shite" criteria though.

The IQ's on our side are quite low by the look of things. God I'd love to be in those negotiations.

Think Basil Fawlty could do a job.
