He's speaking to an audience of EU fanatics; if he said anything vaguely diplomatic about Brexit he'd probably be lynched "pour encourager les autres".in remarks prepared for delivery to a gathering in Portugal of jurists specialised in EU law.

Agree with your second comment, maybe it's the choice of paper for gammons

Rearranging the Deck Chairs on RMS Brextanic
Everyone is blaming the Government for not coming up with a Brexit strategy. They've made no progress in two years so how useless must they be.
However, when will it dawn on everyone that there simply isn't a Brexit strategy? I guess Theresa already can see that. She's ostensibly nurturing a stay-in-only-worse-off approach but she'll never get away with that. The hard exit (which is what people voted for) is too expensive and disruptive. So all she can do is the classic deathmarch manoeuvre that so many of us project people have seen played out so many times - just keep plodding along and shoving in the invoices until the merde finally hits the fan.
Then blame everybody else."Don't part with your illusions; when they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live" Mark TwainComment

What this is all about is taking the good bits of the 1960's and combining with the good bits of the 2000's unfortunately what is now happening is that it is combining the bad bits of the 1960's with the bad bits of the 2000's.Originally posted by Cirrus View PostEveryone is blaming the Government for not coming up with a Brexit strategy.

The doom and gloom vs reality
People didn’t vote for a hard exit. Yougov polls since Brexit show a majority of Remainers supporting the SM, and Brexiters split.Originally posted by Cirrus View PostEveryone is blaming the Government for not coming up with a Brexit strategy.

But you’re right about there not being a plan.
