What could go wrong?

[albaqwerty]

may the fourth will be with them

[Jackdaw33]

I am filled with hope. David Davis is a star appointment.

[gulliver1]

It already has gone wrong, giving johnson a cabinet post, May must be of her rocker!

[dannyk13]

If he messes up she will just sack him.No problem

[gulliver1]

GOOD!

[Ninefingers]

Read between the lines, Boris makes this work of he gets sacked, simple - end of political career

[ToraToraTora]

you know him personally then gulliver? Or could this be another chapter if your usual drivel?

[Old_Geezer]

Unsure what all the fuss is about. The trio seem committed 'leavers' and the question is just what they prioritise to get agreed for after we leave. There is no problem with getting exit wrong, that's fairly straight forward. There is always compromise with creating new arrangements; just as long as they know that the reasons why we left is not for negotiation. It seems less likely they wouldn't, now we know who the appointments are.

I am not convinced Boris is a true Brexiteer.

He is now.

[gulliver1]

Gosh ttt you sound just like Boris, rude and arragant ,you seem to have studied his life style .

[Jackdaw33]

About time gulliver went on his travels.

[gulliver1]

NO JD, Its Boris who is going on his travels, do try and keep up.

[ToraToraTora]

gulliver err no, I try not to judge people that I have never met using the titbits that my brainwashing school teachers hammered into me.

It's not to much of a stretch of the imagination to see Boris as Sancho Panza. But which of the other two is Don Quixote, and what role for the third?
All three will be tilting at windmills.

Regarding negotiations and "what we get", it is very possible that EU negotiators have long since heard the story that has been doing the rounds abroad for decades. It is told as a description of a nation's character.

"Some men in a harbour saw a man fall overboard some distance off-shore. One leapt into his boat and headed out to save the unfortunate soul in the drink. The rest watched as the boat reached the man, the one aboard it was clearly in communication with the head in the water but the fellow in the water kept swimming away. Ultimately the boat headed back to shore. On arrival back in the harbour he explained the guy out there refused to come into the boat "I kept asking him to give me his hand and he refused" said the would-be saviour in frustration.

One of those at the harbour asked if he knew which nationality the victim was - English was the reply. The former leapt into the boat and headed back to the head in the water and as the others watched on, within seconds of reaching the man the boat was on its way back with him on board.

When they came to shore the others wanted to know how the second saviour had done it. "Simple", he said. "I told him to take my hand and he immediately grabbed it".

I then heard a far more succinct piece of advice that conveys the very same sentiment: Count your fingers after shaking an Englishman's hand.

The negotiations may not be quick or straight forward.

I don't think Liam Fox and David Davis like each other very much, to put it mildly. So that can't help ....

[ichkeria]

Mr Davis has made a cracking start, tweeting lots of predictions about the individual deals EU countries will do with Britain, seemingly forgetting that they can't do independent deals with non EU countries.

I have said on a tandem thread(rhyming as well) that Boris is preferred in the tent pissing out, rather than outside the tent pissing in.
