The thing is sweetie pie, I am reserving judgement on the basis that nobody knows what it is the Dave has actually achieved. We don't know what his 'demands' were, although they were probably specifically designed to **** Sarkastic off, we have no way of knowing what the terms thrown back at him were - other than his telling us they were 'not in our interests', and without the gift of foresight, nobody knows what the 26 might now draw up, nor what the consequences for either side might be. We are all dancing in the dark, and can't even be sure what the damned tune is.
Although the press are crowing over this 'victory', more and more 'experts' are seeming to question whether this action was a good or bad idea. As my wife says, the silence of the CBI is deafening.
