It remains the option that is a condition to start trade negotiations with the EU. Simple comme toujour.
All Office Boy, Barnier has done is say "no" to everything and tried to bind us to a treaty that would reduce the UK to a colony of the EU.
Thats the problem when negotiating with what is nothing more than glorified civil servants. They have nothing to lose ... if this goes legs up big style it won't be them paying out the debt, bailing out your industry or pumping welfare cash around the EU. It will be Germany... the country already paying in the most from people who are already fed up with 50%+ taxes, expensive food and rip off clothes. They are already turning to the populist parties and have had enough of Merkels immigration disaster they are still paying out for. Walk around Frankfurt - where are the banks ? Where are the financial corporate giants that were supposed to be fleeing London that your unelected masters lied to you about ? Is the reality coming any clearer ? Where is the UK manufacturing plants moving back to the EU ? Where is the USA trade deal that we were supposed to be at the back of the queue while we waited for the EU to get the deal of the century ? - instead you've got a trade war with the USA, higher tariffs on steel, soon to be 25%+ tariffs on German cars and trying to put together an EU army of French malicia and Spanish farmers because you can't afford your NATO contributions.
But you can't get rid of these overpaid, unelected civil servants... you can't even change them and you won't be able to come running back to us for help. You will have shafted, humiliated and offended your biggest single market outside the EU and the country that buys the most of your German cars. The country that has protected your communities for over 100 years, liberated you from 2 world wars and paid trillions into your countries, into your failing banks, your flatlining economy and failed currency.
Just remember that the next time you want to take more cheap shots at our country. In the meantime, I'll keep printing out your childish drivel and sticking them on the office wall, so we can read them over and over again to reassure ourselves that because of people like you, Brexit was the best decision we made for the past 45 years or so.
