Donald Tusk’s response to May’s latest speech

[vetran]

Try this experiment , go buy 30 packets of sausages from a wholesaler like Costco then walk into Sainsbury's and start selling them to their customers who are walking down the meat isle.

You will find that Sainsbury's will completely violate your rights of free market access by marching you off their premises. Feel free to write to your MP and explain how pathetic Sainsbury's are and that they will be the losers by punishing you with their ridiculous trade rules.

By the way you will be much better off not doing this in the future because who would want to deal with Sainsbury's when they are acting in such a childish way.

Almost works, except of course Sainsbury's want to sell you a large amount of different goods. They also want to rule over who and what happens in your house. So its more like sharing a market stall with a lodger who thinks he is in charge.

We can choose to expel the lodger and set out our own stall in competition if we do that the lodger will lose sales and a bitter rivalry will start.

why are remoaners so crap at analogies?

Its like a Golf Club, Round of Drinkies, Divorce from a crazy ex, a day at Sainsburys some petulant twits protecting their dream of the EUSSR.

Except in this case the UK is the lodger

Scathing repsonse to May's speech by leading EU MEP

Too much cake and eating I'm afraid.

Reacting after the Prime Minister’s third major speech on leaving the EU, Guy Verhofstadt said he hoped that “serious proposals have been put in the post” by the Prime Minister, as Ms May’s plans received a frosty reception in Brussels.

Too much self preservation methinks.

I'm still waiting for a smart Brexit poster to show me the flaws in what I said earlier about the 5 tests. Looks like Guy Verhofstadt may have read my summary and put it into his own words.

Theresa, we don't want sound bites, we don't want pithy slogans, we don't want tests that aren't tests, we want to know what the government's plans are, we want to know how the government intends to deliver their plans in the next 13 months, we want to know why, after 21 months of prevaricating, the UK government is no closer to negotiating a deal.

It’s a pretty pathetic response from Guy.

Immediate dismissal with condescending put downs.

How do you negotiate with that?

yep they are both Bollocks so yes I imagine he copied your homework.

They are playing for time and hoping we crash out so they can say - "look that is what happens when you decide to leave Mother Brussels"

Barnier’s response is much better:

I welcome PM @theresa_may speech. Clarity about #UK leaving Single Market and Customs Union & recognition of trade-offs will inform #EUCO guidelines re: future FTA.
