    Does anyone else get the impression that the Bureaucrats of Brussels are calling the shots, and that we're beginning to come across as 'ever so 'umble' obsequious supplicants? Just who the hell do these jumped-up unelected pipsqueaks think they are, ffs! They couldn't do a damn thing if we just got the hell out this afternoon. Winston Churchill would turn in his grave.

    Brits fought to keep your freedom from the German empire and then their children just hand it over.

    I'm afraid that just about sums it up. When populations have become infantilised by puerile entertainment (thanks a bunch ITV and BBC!), and obsessed with mindless sport - which is nothing less than tribalism thence nationalism in disguise - is usually how it happens: Think 'the fall of the Roman Empire'? How the mighty are fallen!

    Brussels is not the German Empire.

    The EU is not the German Empire.

    And show us how sports and entertainment led to the creation of the EU.

    Mein Gott! :)

    This is nothing to do with the EU. In fact the EU is an insignificant bagatelle compared with what it is about.

    yeah.....We Will Survive.....with many apologies to Gloria Gaynor......

    Christ we are afraid
    we are petrified
    At the dozy bastards
    dealing on the British side
    can’t we just shove it up their arse?
    Get the phuck out of this farce?
    They’re not strong!
    They can’t even get along!

    We voted out, we had to pick
    You took our cash and grinned whilst all us brits
    just gobble EU dick
    We shouldn’t take your crappy deal.
    We should squeeze you till you squeal!
    Lets’ just hope that when we leave
    we’re not still under the commissions heel!

    So let’s just go!
    walk out the door
    just take our freedom
    'cause we’re not shackled anymore
    you’ve screwed us over since the treaty of Versailles
    you thought we’d crumble
    you thought we lay down and die
    so its goodbye
    we will survive
    now we can make our own trade deals our economy won’t dive.
    We’ve had enough of this charade
    we’ve got quality goods to trade
    and we’ll survive
    WE will survive (bye bye)

    its been a slow day.....:)

    No deal please.
    No deal. No transition.
    And no more talking about it either.
    Shut up.

    The quieter you are, the more they will offer you.
    Just don't open your mouths.

    Not that we are going to accept anything they offer anyway.
    The more you talk, the weaker you are. And we are going to get rid of you next election you prats.
    So do yourself a favour. S T F U.
    Keep your heads down. Shut up, agree to nothing and pray no one murders you for your trouble.
    Talking to the EU = unemployment.

    You have no mandate to make deals with the EU. you have never had a mandate to make a deal with the EU, and you still don't.

    You do have a mandate to run the government. So do so or be sacked for not doing so.

    Reese Mogg. Take the job. Leader of UKIP.
    David Davis. Drink more. Turn up to negotiations blind drunk. Drunker than that EU guy. Insult everyone. Go back to your hotel room. Do it all again tomorrow. If you can be bothered to show up at all.
    Nigel Farage. Escort David Davis to meetings. Via the pub. See that he drinks. Don't allow him the luxury of coherent sentences.
    Mrs May. Grow a pair. Get pictures taken of yourself next to British tanks in Germany. When Mrs Merkel says "what does Britain want?", you say. "Nothing, we're OK thanks."

    London told Brussel that this isn't workable and will likely walk away with WTO terms.

    I'm not making this up, also, this is new and uncharted for the EU.

    The UK wants to be treated like it's not in the EU.

    Tell them to **** off.

    What are they going to do, stomp one of their little feet at you and tell you you're making them very cross?

    Pull out the Holy Hand Grenade?

    Tell them to piss off. It's your country.

    They are going to threaten us.
    The current threat is that they will ground all UK aircraft and refuse them landing in the EU. Plus sanctions. Plus create a border between Southern and Northern Ireland.

    The problem is, it's not part of the British psyche to submit.
    We're just a bit emotionally immature like that. Sorry, Johnny Foreigner.
    Blitz spirit and all that.

    They are basically talking their way into a cruise missile strike. They are just too self important to see it coming.

    It turns out of course that only Mrs Merkal was consulted on this approach and that the other 26 nations of the EU are rather displeased by it.
    Germany want's it's revenge, but the rest of the EU like money.

    Merkal says she will serve a full term. Which is politician speak for she's about to lose power. AFD are on the rise, they are trade only EU in principle same as the Brits. Things might be changing in Germany real soon. One can but hope.

    Well if it were up to me I would; trouble is that it's in the gift of the fools who presume to rule over us. and laughingly think of themselves and 'a government'. But as is said - A country gets the government it deserves.

    Why not?

    It's either your country or it isn't.

    It isn't.
    We just live here.

    Millions of us live in this country and none of us own it.
    We all have our little bits of the country perhaps but none of us lay claim to all of it.
    The government of our country belongs to the Queen. It does as it pleases and we are subjected to it's will.

    That's a pretty good description; I can't argue with that.

    Is it better where you live then?

    Do you kid yourself you own the government?
    That it does what you tell them?

    Do you look at the grand office of state and think "hey I own that, I am a citisen". Look at that Eiffel Tower, it's mine.
    Because being a citisen is a double edged sword, you own the state but the state owns you in return.
    Pfft to Republics.

    Me, I'm just little old me. I own my own mini state of Baff. It's very small indeed but it is mine. I live free.
    The Queen owns her government which for the most part is entirely unrelated to me. I don't imagine myself in charge of anything that I am not.
    I just consider it a more honest way of thinking about it.

    I don't own this country and it's government doesn't give a **** what I think.
    Show me a country to live where that isn't true. I don't think you can.
