I do not have a problem at all with Boris's deal and I certainly don't have an issue with 'no deal' which remainers have tried their best to make look like some kind of monster.
Your negotiating strategy is like the one in Blazing Saddles where the Sheriff of Rock Ridge rides into town and negotiates with the people of the town not to shoot him.

Boris may be a comedian but he’s no Mel Brooks. And he wouldn’t get the reprieve the Sheriff did in the movie.
