The EU export more to us than we do to them.

That's true, but if it all stops we take the full hit while they share it between the 27 member nations. It would hurt each of them a bit, but it would hurt us a lot. They could cope with the impact a lot easier than we could.

I think he's suggesting the old bag hasn't negotiated a very good deal, and, of course, he's right.

Would you like your wife being called an old bag. Didn’t think so. Well put point lol.

How's it going over there with sticking it to the EU? I'll be over in March so be sure to get the pound nice and low for me, ok?

I think a few like Spain might suffer a bit more than us. Germany and France could easily play hard ball on this though.

I think it would certainly create cracks in the EU stance though.

True story...

Staff at a branch of sofa store DFS in West London have been celebrating today after Theresa May and David Davis paid the full ticket price of £1999 for a six-seater leather corner suite with recliners

According to sources at the scene, they also paid the full asking price of £400 for three-years’ Scotchguard cover without attempting to knock them down

One sales assistant said: ‘They just walked in, pointed at a suite and said ‘that one please’ as we need a new one for the Cabinet Meeting Room – they weren’t even that bothered about potentially not getting it before Christmas.

’‘We’ve checked our records and it’s official – they have become the first people to pay the full ticket price for one of our sofas, and they ended up paying cash because they failed the credit check for the five-year payment plan.’

‘I even managed to slip in a bottle of suede cleaner at the end for another twenty quid – you can’t even use it on leather.’

... any historians/seniors on here see any parallels with the Munich Agreement - Hitler/Chamberlain et al? The German National Socialists(read EU Socialist dictatorship) want territorial expansion and was intent on taking the Czechs as a first stage. A fake agreement is devised (but don't tell the Czechs - read Northern Ireland). Chamberlain (read May) comes home waving his piece of paper (read Brexit Stage 1). Some people actually believe there will be peace (read an amicable exit from the EU). Ha ...

After the vote tonight, apparently not too well!

The traitors will not win. We voted out and out we go...4 vote majority against....and the Guardian calls it humiliating..says it all.

Of course it's humiliating - Teresa May has to go to Brussels tomorrow with the rest of the EU knowing she can't even convince her own party, let alone them. I love the way you describe a 52/48% vote as a definitive victory, yet claim 309/305 is nothing. Ironically the delightful Ms Soubry (who you voted for) is one of the "traitors"!
