Let me guess, were the ministers in question Iain Duncan Smith, Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Priti Patel..?

Jeez, if only there was some hint as to what might have been their motive for such an action...

no, european ministers, Polish PM and another were saying they wouldnt accept changes before they had even finished the conference.

Bloody Worthing!
Donald Tusk has not so much poured cold water over May's latest package of proposals as to hold them under an iceberg.

Is this just a playing hard-ball negotiating posture or are we heading for a Canada deal at best? When oh when are those German car manufactures we heard so much about from the Leaves prior to the referendum going to stop this silliness?? They will, won't they? Won't they?

The EU should be blamed. Cameron went to the EU looking for a deal before the referendum, they gave him nothing. That was the cue for me and many others to tick the box to Leave. We could see the EU wasn't going to change back then....

Right, so you are saying that if Cameron had been given an additional concession on, say, free movement then you would have voted Remain? (Actually, that is pretty much exactly what you’re implying.)

Taking cars as an example

The Germans ship about 25k cars a month to the UK but we export 120k mostly to Europe

The German factories would take a hit with tariffs and we'd have to pay more, but our factories very existence would be at risk

Clever stuff. But what you are forgetting my friend is that soon all of our car companies will re-locate to the EU and they'll sell EVEN MORE to us. So then we'll really have them over a barrel. Let's see who is laughing then...............

Who wants to focus on car assembly anyway when we can focus on tourism

I hadn't seen that, but that's neither being a snide nor an unsuccessful attempt to be funny, that's just an abusive post, well done.

Which one haven't you seen, the liar or the f***wit and I'll try and find it for you :thumbsup:

And we could go on all day about reforming from the inside by being a member, but that doesn't work either. The EU will never listen and the way the EU treats one of it's biggest contributors is an absolute disgrace.

I'm sure at the end some deal will be done, but it won't really be what I voted for. I could moan about this for years, but there is absolutely no point.
What's important to me is we get some Unity back in this country again so everyone is happy, agreed.

Dream on about that, because it's not a split down the middle. The referendum gave the two extremes in British politics a rare chance to unite *against* the middle. The extreme left of Labour and the extreme right of the Tories have always been fellow-travellers on the anti-EU bus, and with Farage blowing his anti-immigrant dog-whistle at every opportunity, it got the Leave vote over the line - just.

The middle - moderate Labour/Tories and those in between, including a significant majority of MPs - is very much united in thinking that Brexit is the stupidest thing we have ever done, and will only be confirmed in that belief as the months and years go on and the full, catastrophic scale of our mistake becomes apparent.

The country won’t be united again for years.

The whole things a mess.

Ah of course, your spurious claim that near the end of his tenure Wilkins had been absent from the training ground for three or more consecutive weeks, the insinuation was that it was more than just 'man flu', he had just gone AWOL and the players hadn't seen nor heard from him throughout that period.

Frankly I was surprised then less so now that you were unable to decipher how I might know that he had a viral infection and was only away from team affairs intermittedly throughout a period of illness, why would I care other than knowing that what was being said was untrue.
