If you read the context my post it is not defeatist. I am not the one advocating taking the ball and going home because people are 'mean to us'. This is the relationship people voted for, a adversarial one where both sides will seek to leverage their power to get the best deal they can. The EU have the article 50 deadline and the size of their economy on their side.

If people don't have the stomach for this when what will happen when it comes to the US who will certainly attempt to leverage the size of their economy to exact the most concessions from us possible? Do we just pack up and go home then too?
