The Dutch often have an appreciation of the subtleties of British humour... 06:56 - Jul 18 with 1401 viewsWeWereZombies

Mr Timmermans said while he expected a "Harry Potter-like book of tricks" from ministers, instead they were like Lance Corporal Jones from Dad's Army.

"Time's running out and you don't have a plan. It's like Lance Corporal Jones, you know, 'Don't panic, don't panic!' Running around like idiots."

Boris Johnson recently compared Theresa May to Geoffrey Boycott and himself to Ian Botham.

Both De Pfeffel and Timmerman are soundbiting you, it’s just mind games.

Interesting deflection, shame it's ended up in your own net.

The clarity and maturity of people like Barnier and Timmermans is in stark contrast to those on our own side. It really couldn't be more different to our approach. Ah well.

Poll: Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

True, but Europe has its own set of Lance Corporal Jones's. Think of some of the AfD, perhaps the Kaiser type in the balloon from 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' is apt...

That person from our side was David Davis - the one who turned up to the first meeting with nothing, not even a pen, compared to the Europeans who had multiple thick dossiers.

Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

I think David Davies is an example of what happens if you let.... on 17:20 - Jul 19 with 934 viewsunstableblue

.... leaders who just 'talk it up' rather than actually having realistic methods and tangible analysis.

We have Boris, Farage, and Davies as exemplars of what can happen when you dumb down politics, and you undermine the civil service.

Again we're on a race to the bottom at the moment, and the Leave campaign's factless success has led us to a bad situation.

It was plainly a staged photo - which has been acknowledged.

Our Brexit negotiations have been dismal beyond belief but to believe that we entered a meeting without a pen is daft.
