This is some kind of wind up surely? Britain tells the EU to do one, and now you twist that around as though we're fighting Nazis on the bloody beaches. You've gone to the David Davis school of utter delusion.
If only Sadiq Khan had a British name, then we could know that he has British interests at heart.He doesn't trust the London mayor either. Not that there's a pattern

So what you are saying is he is just like Farage, Johnson, Gove etc.?
Yup dirty filthy tory up to his neck in corruption and abusing his position as an MP.
Pushing the hard Brexit plan - whilst taking up another paid role working for Thomas Kaplan, a man whose main interest is cashing in on the rise in costs for mineral assets (gold, platinum, silver) that always tend to rise in value following political and economic strife or catastrophes.
In effect they are vultures.

Almost everyone has vested interests unfortunately and have to answer or appease certain individuals/groups. It's all compromises and that is why what seems the easiest solution to a problem cannot be taken.

I cannot abide Kawczynski, a good old British name, causing trouble between the UK and the EU for political reasons.

“German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday offered a way to break the deadlock over the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union, calling for a creative compromise to allay concerns over the future of Irish border arrangements.
The United Kingdom is due under British and European law to leave the EU in just 53 days yet Prime Minister Theresa May wants last-minute changes to a divorce deal agreed with the EU last November to win over members of parliament in the British parliament.
May is seeking legally binding changes to the deal to replace the Northern Irish backstop, an insurance policy that aims to prevent the reintroduction of a hard border between EU-member Ireland and the British province of Northern Ireland.
While Merkel said she did not want the so-called Withdrawal Agreement renegotiated, she added that difficult questions could be resolved with creativity, the strongest hint to date that the EU's most powerful leader could be prepared to compromise.
"There are definitely options for preserving the integrity of the single market even when Northern Ireland isn't part of it because it is part of Britain while at the same time meeting the desire to have, if possible, no border controls," Merkel said.
"To solve this point you have to be creative and listen to each other, and such discussions can and must be conducted," Merkel said at a news conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo.
Merkel said the Irish backstop issue could be solved as part of a discussion over a separate agreement on the future relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom, offering May a potential way out of the deadlock.
Merkel's stance on Brexit is driven by an eagerness to preserve the integrity of the EU and its internal market, which are crucial to Germany's post-war identity and prosperity, while also keeping Britain close to the bloc even after it leaves.
Keen to avoid the economic disruption a no-deal Brexit would bring to Germany's economy, which slowed sharply last year, Merkel also values Britain as a like-minded partner and wants to keep its security expertise close at hand.
"We can still use the time to perhaps reach an agreement if everyone shows good will," Merkel said.

Nor do I trust Jeremy Corbyn, perhaps there is a pattern......
I shall de-code that for you, Peter.
Frau Merkel is saying “Let’s find a different name for the Backstop”.
You’re welcome

Thank you, I thought it meant we need to put Varadkar back in his box otherwise the German economy gets screwed.....
It won't get screwed, that's just project fear. (I think that's how it works)
