That's the first positive thing you've said in this thread!

If things continue to get tighter, they're already rehearsing their lines. Expect to hear:
- The corrupt elitist EU's is punishing us for wanting our sovereignty back. That's why we need to have nothing to do with the sinking ship.
- Everyone should have voted Conservative to give Theresa the authority she needs. It's those traitors who voted for the roll-over Labour and Lib Dem parties who lost us the negotiations, not the crack SAS team of David Davis et al.
- It's a very small price for the next generation to pay so that they're not part of the United States of Europe dominated by the new EU member state of Turkey.
- Get over it remoaners. If you're so unhappy here, why not move to your beloved Brussels?
- We always said it wouldn't be pain free. This is just a temporary ten-year adjustment hiccup.
- These higher prices/lower growth/shops closing down would have happened anyway.
The British economy is doing pretty well, despite the pure negativity of remoaners.

As for the €100bn , I have yet to hear anyone justify that stupid figure. If the EU negotiators continue to press for that, we should say we are expecting the €100bn to be offset by our claim against them for €200bn.

Maybe then we can start to get real and discuss actuals.
