Nobody Voted for me and my Ex Colleagues.

Our job, which I took very seriously, was to deliver on the detail.

Boris and Co do not understand, May was a nightmare.

Merkel and Macron run rings round our Politicians.

I took it as personal insult if a French or German Civil Servant beat me.

They have the backing, often simply lacking here.

It is hugely frustrating.

No No and No

Barnier is not an elected leader and neither are the commission. We should only be dealing with elected leaders.

Apparently someone in england interpreted the text as applicable on those marble figures. But it works in every way of course. The dutch could give back the royal charles they took as bounty.

The political declaration, formulated with the UK, signed by boris said:

field for open and fair competition, as set out in Section XIV of this Part.

Not withdrawn, apparently the UK still didn't want a canada style deal in december. And now, suddenly, they do? Think before you ink!

Hi

I do think before I ink.

Beware of people like me.

Very reluctant but committed Leavers.

We wanted to Leave on the best possible terms, minimal damage to both the EU and the UK.

We are now very upset with the attitude of the EU.

Your choice, not ours and we know exactly how to hurt you.

It is not what we wanted, but so be it.

Do not underestimate people like me.

We will not be threatened and we will be your biggest nightmare.

A very sad position to be in, but such is life.

I am rational and decent and wish the EU No Harm.

However we are where we are.

We will cut off your access to GCHQ.

It will take the EU at least 10 years to replicate it, at vast expense.

Enjoy your Terrorist Attacks.

Nah, you can keep them. In 2017 you had 122 terrorist incidents, in 2016 you had 104 (more than 50 deaths total). Netherlands 1 and 6, respectively. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numb...nts_by_country
