Have you not clocked yet that the British public want all this to be over? Extending negotiations will just defer the inevitable, whatever that is - deal or no deal.

No deflection on my part Old Boy, my point has clearly eluded you but to reiterate - BoJo's fumbling government seems to be over-stretched. tackling Covid and Brexit so to avoid a bad deal we need to extend. No deal is not an option.
If we leave with no deal this year, we start negotiations in 2022 from a position of weakness and also with no EU goodwill. You've clearly forgotten that Brexit doesn't end with no deal! That actually elongates the process as there will be lots of squabbling and a succession of smaller deals. You let the genie out of the bag in 2016 and it ain't going away. Negotiations with the EU are no part of British life for the forseeable future.
