Yep! That's what it looks like and I see it more simply as a lotta wealthy people trying to force their political will on a number of other wealthy people who have a set agenda to "make it happen" at any cost and some of them would poss even "kill" to "get their way. This deal is still gonna hit the UK economy "big time" and is not gonna improve our current economic position within the EU. Also this is only an agreement that is not legislatively binding yet! Lastly, has anyone else noticed the sudden "change"in tone of the Tory press - amazing when one considers all the extreme Brexit shit they uttered for a long, long time - a bunch of scumbags driven by instructions from above, no doubt!!! Up here in Scotland I describe them and their crass activities as "propagandists" whose sole function is to promote the status quo , the union; the Scotsman is a classic example of this shit and it is ironic that they and other associated "rags" have been in financial crisis and looks like their pension funds will be "downgraded" but not plundered lol!!! IMO time is fast approaching to push on with Scot Indy 2 and separate from these people and this crap British govt - GET A MOVE ON NICOLA AND START ALIGNING WITH THE BROADER SCOT INDY MOVEMENT!!!
