Re: It's amazing how it sticks
"also offered hope and promise"
Hope maybe, promise - no way. There is almost nothing that was said that has come to pass. I quote "The German car makers and the French Baguette bakers will not allow there to be no deal"
That well no French Baguette lobby that brings in millions of French Sticks on the ferry each morning for the breakfast tables of the UK population - even they couldn't persuade Emmanuel Macron to drop the 'backstop' for the sake of getting a deal.
Project Fantasy I'd call it.
