It's nice that you've stopped pretending that Brexit is going to be a success and progressed to looking for someone to blame. We metropolitan elite types have been saying for a while that when the cretins reached this stage, they would blame the EUSSR and saboteurs, rather than themselves and the disaster capitalists. But well done anyway for starting to moving on.

Is Verhofstadt a cretin, (since he is blaming the EU for Brexit)?

Where have I blamed anyone for the failure of Brexit (despite it not happening yet)?

Let's see if you evade those questions...

[WTFH]

Except he did not blame the EU for Brexit. Perhaps you were misquoting/paraphrasing/lying to make it seem like you had a valid point?

He said that the Brexit decision was a failure of the EU.
He also said that it has made the EU move forward to debate reform.

He did not say "the EU is to blame for Brexit"
How could he? As you rightly say, Brexit has not happened yet.
It's only 2 years since Article 50 was due to be invoked, so let's wait until the great day that Brexit becomes a reality.

[WTFH]

Here's what Verhofstadt said:

I still look to the Brexit decision as a failure of the EU, because if an important country like the UK is breaking away from the EU it's difficult to say, 'Oh it's a success, fantastic.'
I don't look at the outcome of the referendum in that way - I think it's a failure.
What we have seen in the continent - if I may say so - is that after Brexit, the European project regained popularity. In the sense of, 'Okay - maybe there are a lot of things that don't work very well in the EU, but to break away, maybe that's not the right solution.'
So in that sense, since Brexit there has been more debate on reform of the EU than we ever got before. That's caused by Brexit.
But I still find the fact that Britain is going out of the EU a bad thing for Europe, for Britain, and I think for everybody.

I have no interest in answering your questions until you admit that you were wrong over the misspelling accusation.

I see your point and accept, no he didn't lay blame of the decision at the EU, making my 1st question redundant.

Your comments on the 2nd question, show that Old Smeg wouldn't be able to point out an example.

Thought you closed the case and moved on?

Weren't those, your last comments on that matter (until this reopening obvs)?

Anyway, WTFH has done the needful now, you are surplus to requirements.

The case is closed, but you have to earn the right to have your questions answered. And you can only do so by admitting you were wrong.

Let's see, maybe it's your decision to claim someone else said it, when they factually did not.

he is blaming the EU for Brexit

...So you are putting your words into their mouth.
