So far, the impression I get is that the EU leaders still live under the belief that we are small enough to be bossed around. They are likely to keep on dictating to us in the belief that they can call all the shots.
I see the rest of this year as a waste of both our time and our money. I'm afraid it won't happen, but we should just tell them, "OK, if a year isn't enough time for you to come to some agreement, we'll walk away now and leave you to it."
No more payments, no need for any more discussion. We'll just trade with the world under WTO rules.
It's simple: we, as customers, will buy what we want from whoever will sell us it at the cheapest, or at least the best and most acceptable cost.
I think I am probably like most people: I don't like being dictated to.
