Re: I wish to god ? this government
Both sides are playing poker, keep your hand covered.
But some one will in the end have to give in, EU has the most to lose so in my opinion UK still has a winning hand.
One upmanship is also at play here so neither side will want to lose face .

Re: I wish to god ? this government
At last some one has got it right.
Banksy that well know street artist has sold his painting for $18 million.
What painting you may well ask.
Painted back in about 2016 when Brexit was first on the agenda it depicts the parliament full of apes conducting the business of the day.
The best depiction of any parliament I have ever seen, feel a bit sorry for the apes though, not their fault.
