    BREXIT LIVE: 'Special place in hell for Brexiteers' Tusk LOSES IT in vicious attack on UK
    DONALD Tusk completely lost it over Brexit today when the EU chief revealed he questions whether there is a "special place in hell" for Brexiteers in a fiery speech."

    How is it possible for me to loathe so much a man whom I've never even met?

    Hell hath no fury like a pen-pusher who can't get his own way.

    ...an interesting turn of phrase. I've always wondered at this myopic blinkered approach to the EU discussions from both the remainers and leavers point of view. We’re locked in a struggle with the EU Commission...a secretariat, not with the representatives of each country or their industrial leaders or their countries representatives...its with a secretariat. Some nebulous Machiavellian political project which is famously not accountable to its member states and has no economy of its own to worry about (and not even a nation state!!). It needs bringing down so we can trade sensibly with Germany with France and all the others - what do they imagine Britain is engaged in if not trying to free ourselves from that?

    Seriously mate ...

    Conversely, in the past two years, the same way has been spewing poison and bile against the EU from the Brexit clowns ... so "quid pro quo" only now?

    But as I said several times in the forum, meanwhile, Brexit and how it will happen on March 29, does not matter to me. I just want it to happen ... but woe when in the UK the economy crashes and the unemployment numbers go up and somebody from the Brexit clowns starts howling and blaming the EU!
    There would be only one guilt side - the Brexit Clowns and particularly those who demand a "no deal Brexit"!

    I find it funny not only the Monty Python Show in the British Parliament, but also that the EU has repeatedly said that you can not talk about the border question in Ireland ... but without renegotiating the agreement itself. But nobody realizes that in the UK ...
    And it is funny, therefore, that until today from the UK comes from all political corners only a list of things that you British do not want. When does the UK come up with a clear statement of majority what you British do want?

    If it wasn't for Tusk I'd change my mind and say let's stay in? lol We're never going to agree on this in a million years mate, but I still like you. We've always had a mutual respect for one another haven't we.
