According to him, the EU 'will not move one millimetre' in our negotiations. In other words, he will not accept anything other than the EU's demands in full.
We will be assimilated! Resistance is futile!
So unless we are happy to comply with all of their demands we seem to have no other choice but to walk away as, according to him, further attempts at negotiations will be ignored.
Good for him! Perhaps we can walk away now.
Hi
He is a paid employee of the EU.
We decided to leave with the cry of Brexit means Brexit and No deal is better than a Bad deal from Theresa May.
We then triggered Article 50 giving ourselves two years to leave.
The EU got together.
They developed a plan for what was best for the EU after we left.
That plan was put to the Heads of the EU Countries and they and their respective Governments agreed it.
Meanwhile, back on the ranch, our bunch were still arguing amongst themselves on what sort of Brexit we wanted instead of getting on with the job.
The EU had their Civil Servants beavering away getting everything ready for the UK leaving, ours where left in the dark as to the Government wanted.
No clear direction and important things, basic things, on the to do list, not authorised by our Government.
Time passed, the EU had organised a bidding process for themselves as to which Country would get the bits like the Banking Authority, Medicines Agency etc which would be leaving the UK as we had decided to leave.
Boris, our Foreign Secretary, the second most important post in Government was taunting them, we can have our cake and eat it.
The EU continued putting things in place, there would be no deal on Banking, quite understandable, we would not let the EU control the trading in the £.
The Banks, mostly Foreign Owned, had no alternative but to move HQ to the EU and pay tax there.
Euro Clearing and Euro banking was leaving the UK to be based in the EU.
The UK saves £9 Billion in EU Net Payments, the EU gains £20 Billion in tax receipts.
The EU awaits the start of negotiations after the UK triggers Article 50.
The UK decides to hold a General Election, more time wasted.
The EU continues beavering away at the boring bits.
The UK Government loses it's Majority at the Election.
More delays as the UK Government frantically searches for a partner to give it a Majority to carry out it's version of Brexit.
The EU continues beavering away, vast support mechanisms in place to support their Exporters with the effects of the UK leaving.
Negotiations start, with the EU position perfectly ready and in place, good to go.
The UK does not produce any detailed proposals.
The International Money Markets, on whom we depend for our lifestyle, we need to borrow vast amounts every year respond.
Our Interest Payments go up by £18 Billion a year, twice what we pay the EU.
We publish some of our position papers and head for round two.
The EU says get lost, we are not agreeing to these.
The £ sinks further.
We have a tantrum and say but this is what we want.
The EU does not budge.
We then say we need a transition deal because we are not ready to leave.
The EU says tough, you are playing big boys games, if you want one you will pay through the nose for it.
We shout, but that is not fair.
The EU says it was your decision to leave, so pay up or shut up.
