What would the excuse be then though? It wouldn’t be Sisus fault so how would it work?
I was joking Zack as I'm sure you know, but to be serious I expect they would respond with we said we won't deal while legals are still ongoing, regardless of who's grassed to the EU. Shifting the blame to someone else - anyone else. Don't blame us, we said no legals, its that bloke Zack you want to be mad at. Perhaps not unlike Lucas and friends, we meant during the existing deal, when that ran out not our fault.
Unless its written down and signed in blood (and sometimes even that doesn't count) all these bleeders make it up as they go along.
