Nothing left to lose

Once you've given the other side left nothing left to lose, you've lost.

It's a basic martial art principle. It's a matter of how much one side can deploy against the other.

If the other side has nothing to lose, they'll throw everything they have, holding nothing back. Whereas, you have to have something to protect, to continue your existence.

It doesn't matter how much one side has, it matters how much they can use.

This gave us our very country - England grave us nothing to lose. The fascists are going to do the same - give us nothing to lose.

We're going to win. It's just a matter of time and effort.

Fight. We have nothing to lose.
