The day the UK realizes that the European Union is not about economics, but politics and a shared vision of the world/society, will be a national epiphany. I would tend to disregard anything the UK says when associated with the word “economics” (or “bloc”). Go beyond mercantilism.

Here we have another Brit crying and blaming the EU for the consequences of their Brexshit. Including the tabloid language about "Brussels" being the bogeyman. I'm sick to the back teeth of them, and I am a staunch Brexiter as an EU citizen.

How the "pro-EU" Brits are "making friends" in Europe: by blaming the EU for the consequences of Britain's choices. With every one of these posts I become more staunchly pro-Brexit as an EU citizen.

Nauseating. Sick. Arrogance, entitlement, dishonesty in abundance. Brexit Britain ladies and gentlemen, where the consequences of British actions are the fault of the UK.

There was nothing to stop the British government from letting millions of EU citizens who have been taxpayers in Britain for years to vote on the referendum, but they told us to jog on and 🙏 we would not lose our rights.

Da leggere tutto 📌 “Chi in Italia continua a fare il tifo per Orbán, come Meloni e Salvini, ..Sceglie di stare dalla parte di un autocrate corrotto che lavora per la Russia non solo contro l’Ucraina, ma anche contro l’Europa e gli interessi strategici dell’Italia.” open.substack.com/pub/fabiosab...

Nine years ago OTD the UK triggered art. 50 TFEU. Probably the best day ever for the EU. Thanks to Michel Barnier and his team for driving such a hard bargain in the following negotiations.

@andrewhesselden.bsky.social You left the EU and excluded yourselves from the Single Market which is the largest competitive labour market in Europe. And now you’re lecturing us about being afraid of competition? bsky.app/profile/andr...

Can't we use this to say: look, EU rules don't allow us to kick a country out of the EU but then EU rules were never written for a member state that works with our enemy so we're kicking you out and then we strangle you economically in ways that make the impact in Greece of the euro crisis a picnic?

70 Jahre nach dem ungarischen Volksaufstand und dessen blutiger Niederschlagung durch die Sowjetunion. Was bewegt die Magyaren, sich wieder in Russlands Klammergriff zu begeben? Orbans Machtgier, Verrat & Korruption, ein schrilles Alarmsignal für Deutschland und die EU.

And that was only the last part of it. How much do you think other Europeans appreciated listening to gobshites like Farage belittle our nations? de Gaulle was always right about the UK. I'm just glad it meant we got to join & finally break our economic & cultural dependency on them.

Caveat emptor. The UK was never a reluctant European, it was always a conditional one. Brexit cleared the air; the EU now integrates without British exceptionalism as ballast. Re-entanglement risks reintroducing the old frictions. Distance has its virtues.

“Britain will not rejoin EU or set up customs union, Starmer’s top negotiator warns” Er.. …what sort of negotiation is this? (Ed) www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

2/2 The BBC refers fondly that the 232,000 US immigrants in UK are expats and wow, what traditions they celebrate! Have you ever seen the BBC treating any European community in UK in this way? No. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nah if they don’t reduce tuition cost then they are simply not to be included. We should promote internal EU youth movement instead. That promotes cohesion. They don’t hold any cards at all. The status quo on touring benefits us. Why would we give that away?

As always, it is not productive for EU to put pressure on UK: UK is in its own world, oblivious to anything outside. UK politicians will utter some words, but they simply do not register what others are saying. Its best to end the Reset and try again a few years later.
