Sill never been into a Londis though.

"We have seen Chancellor Merkel's comments today. She says the UK has 'illusions' about the process and that the 27 member states of the European Union agree.
"We can see how tough those negotiations are going to be at times," she said.
"Yet our opponents are already seeking to disrupt those negotiations, at the same time as 27 other European countries line up to oppose us.
"That approach can only mean one thing, uncertainty and instability, bringing grave risk to our growing economy with higher taxes, fewer jobs, more waste and more debt.
"So we need the strongest possible hand, the strongest possible mandate and the strongest possible leadership as we go into those talks."

I honestly don't think we will. Our dick government is going to just stand there shouting GIVE US EVERYTHING like children and the timer will run out.

There is absolutely no incentive for the EU to give the UK exactly what it wants. That's not bullying or picking on us, it's just what happens when you leave a union.
I'm sure the Tory hierarchy know that but they're in an impossible position. They have fully accepted Brexit, they know what that will mean but they also know they'll have to placate the hordes of Leave voters who were sold the lie that somehow we will be better off.
May's hope is that she wins big in the election and that they can somehow either make everyone believe it's all the EU's fault or that somehow they get decent trade deals before 2022. I'm betting that she'll just blame the EU for being bullies and that the masses will be pulled along with the nationalist anti-EU sentiment.
