Listening to the Euro stuff on the news as I sit here

And there's all this stuff about how the EU officials are insisting that
we do this and insisting that we do that

and I can't help but come to the conclusion that much of what they are
doing is simply "shooting the messenger"

I'm concluding they are doing *exactly* what 'we' would have done if the
positions were reversed.

And you really can't say you weren't warned.

You have to be Turnip to behave like a c**t and expect others to be
gentlemen towards you.

I'm sure that a lot of us who voted Leave did so in the hope that the other
countries might come up with a better offer for us to stay in.

If that were to happen that offer would have to come from the council of
ministers, who don't meet until next Monday.

Now, that may be very unlikely to happen but I do think that it should be
given the opportunity

So on that basis, I think that it is completely unacceptable for the
unelected, unaccountable, jumped up, EU administrator to say "go and get out
now!" before he can have possibly be advised as to the feelings of the
complete cohort of ministers.

Speaking as a remainer, I'd think that an understandable but very
risky tactic. However the Brits aren't the only ones capable of risky
tactics. I agree with Dave that Europe would say if you've got to go,
go now. The prospect of the process being about to start now, and not
when the Brits feel like it is probably loosening a few bowels amongst
the Brexit leadership and might make them more willing to grab at a
face-saving better offer when it is put to them by the council of
ministers, maybe as early as next week. Remember the Irish and the
Lisbon Treaty?


I dont think there is any mechanism by which the EU can eject a member
state is there?


But then with incompetent ****s like Shulze and Druncker, they probably
have never even read the EU treaties at all.

The left in the UK, and the EU are revealing themselves for what they
a nasty incompetent bigoted power grabbers and gravy train riders.
