You're right but I'm afraid to say it's a typical stance of stick your hand in the sand and hope for the best. I flagged this up weeks ago and was met with the same self assured responses that it was a separate issue. Even I'm shocked how quickly this is now on the agenda only 8 hours after the leave announcement was made! Trust me - this is now up for grabs and I don't think we're in the driving seat with the negotiations that will follow and if I was on the French side I'd have exactly the same position. I hope it doesn't change but if it does then what an extraordinary own goal scored by the UK right at the start and I'd love to see the new government square this off with the UK particularly the good people of Kent!
