Edited by matt_himself (30 Mar 2017 8.29pm) I don't think you understand - and am not surprised that you don't - but nothing has started at all until yesterday. Up till now we have had nine months of nothing but chest puffing and a falling pound. I hope it works out since, unlike the owners of the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph and the Sun, I live here. But I am not confident. I just hope the Brexiters are right and the people who voted remain like me are wrong. Otherwise its another press supported error of judgement - like the Iraq war but one that actually hurts us instead of the civilians of Iraq...and Syria and Libya. Maybe we have it coming.

The last nine months have not been 'chest puffing and a falling pound'. Government has been assessing its move. EU has been assessing its move. Business has been assessing its move.

EU leaders say the UK must first agree its (the EU) exit terms before talks can move on to future ties. Looks like we are holding all the aces, folks. No one has said 'we hold all the aces'. What people have said is, that despite Remainers attempts to state otherwise, the EU doesn't hold all the cards in these negotiations. Britain does have a strong hand. There will be a vision and there will be compromise. Given the rather shaky nature of the Eurozone economy, the EU is not seeking a deal, or no deal, that would destabilise it. Equally, the government wants trade, security and migration deals. It is in the interest of both sides to do a deal and I believe they will. It will be less than membership of the EU but crucially give us back an element of control lost for 14 years to unelected commissioners in Brussels and allow us to embrace the World.
