If someone thinks that a post on Cable Forum somehow reflects the mentality of the country and that the EU would even be bothered if it did reflect the mentality of the country cannot be repudiated by valid arguments.

It's an example the wider mentality that pervades. To deny that is quite ridiculous, along with the notion that the EU hasn't constantly been given the impression by people with that sort of mentality, that the UK might give in, if the EU holds out. Why else do you think the EU(ie France and Germany) came up with new demands that went against the Political Declaration.
So nobody whatsoever has tried desperately tried to block Brexit?

We should have walked away a long time ago, until they ended their ridiculous new demands. Nothing can happen until the EU gives up on those demands.
If the EU was even remotely interested in getting a reasonable deal, then one could easily have been found, but no, they had to be difficult and awkward.
