Mine was really in response to the ridiculous suggestion that people who voted remain want the UK represented by someone who will just roll over and not serve our interests properly.
I think that the person who made that statement would say that any negotiator who achieved an accommodation with the EU which was advantageous to both the UK and the EU was actually one that 'rolled over' and therefore to be condemned.
Those who are influenced by the Clean Global Brexit group thinking want conflict and threat to be the negotiating modus operandi. Frost is being condemned for giving in too easily.
So, while we could both use the same form of words, the underpinning ideas are vastly different.
