So, according to Mr Barnier ""Brexit is like climbing a mountain. We need vigilance, determination and patience"
So, who would the principal players be cast as mountaineers (although some may not be with us, but thats not stopped idle conjecture before)?
Boris - Dougal Haston - devil may care attitude, lax safety and errr dangerous
Mr Barnier - Chris Bonnington - pragmatic, cautious, siege tactic style approach for the long haul
Angela Merkel - Alison Hargreaves - tough, willing to be brave but also stick to their principals
Leo Varadkar - Reinhold Messner - team player who is susceptible to break out on their own
Hmm, who else
British public - errrr, over to you guys
