O`Brien tries to explain negotiations in simple terms which bear no relevance to the situation. It is not that simple and you don`t simply walk away and return to the status quo neither do you pull the rug from under your own feet by declaring that you will comply with the opposition wishes before you start. The man is an idiot plain and simple and the following interview with JRM amply demonstrates it. He got more and more frustrated and obnoxious and ended up behaving like a petulant kid.Unfortunately Brexit induced aggression is too often a cover for ignorance, meaningless slogans become proclamations of truth, attempts at informed debate are decried as arrogance, facts are "bullpoo". In my experience I have yet to find an agricultural leaver who will intelligently and unemotionally debate the issues facing our farming industry in the context of a No-Deal Brexit. I leave you with James O'Brian's summing up of the current Government strategy, it would make a good comedy script if this was not so serious.
