It's absolutely correct.

I understand that some of the more right wing on this forum oppose discussion on certain topics, but it's an absolutely dangerous step in the fascist direction if you simply cannot query a Government policy being viable in the midst of what is likely to be the biggest global economic slump since the Great Depression.

You simply don't understand it at all.

Governments will always trot out such lines because they provide reassurance when the public requires it. Tens of thousands of people are working on both in the background. Again, implementing a trade deal is much wider than negotiating one - one that will affect almost every Civil Service department.
My God, jfman! Nobody minds a debate, and questions being put forward about deliverability. But what gets my goat is those who simply say that stuff can't be done. It can.

Anyway, you will absolutely contradict everything I say on this subject, so I'm going to leave it there. I think people on this forum are sick and tired of this deliberately contrived bickering. I think everyone understands our respective positions on this. Time to give them a much deserved break.
