See if you had rational and actually strategic thinkers within the EU they would have long since realised that the Brexit talks were going nowhere and causing public anger - even now you'd expect someone to say something but it simply doesn't do strategy

So instead you're seeing the wondrous sight of huffing and puffing from people who knew that the mandate wouldn't work but left it because to change would require effort.

So now we rush along with things snowballing rapidly.

Allegedly they want to fine us - good luck

And then sanction us - nice one

All whilst asking for help under A5 of NATO

This of course misses the fact that the Unionists now can see the writing on the wall.

This very second they are asking "Why are we in government with SF because no gives a fuck about us"

What we think this suddenly goes away

I mean what's the plan financial sanctions against the UK - the city of London - that place that finances the eurozone debt?

Nice one - I get you

Come on give me a break

What a shambles all round - both sides

But actually more the EU because the British ask at a basic level of you strip off the nice to haves is a basic FTA

But no they want the CFP and effective SM membership in all but name - of course it was going to end badly

Slow handclap

So NATO is on the chopping board as is the Lancaster house accords which affects France deeply

I mean we are supposed to celebrate the tenth anniversary in November - mega lolz

What you really need is some diplomacy in Europe

Sadly that's departed as all leaders especially Germany and France hide behind the European Commission rather than engage with the problem - which sums up the collapse

I mean name one other thing where they refuse to speak about it

It's quite hilarious
