    US has gone out of its way in this meeting to praise the EU and stress its importance to US.
    In other words, US resources will now be focused on the EU.
    JUnior diplomats can be diverted to the backwater that is the UK, soon to be Little Britain, when Scotland leaves, which is now inevitable.
    Would that be these talks... UK will not abandon EU friends, says Boris Johnson - BBC News

    Mr Johnson is meeting fellow EU foreign ministers for talks.
    Foreign ministers will discuss the Nice attack and the abortive coup in Turkey, but have stressed there will be no formal discussions about Britain's EU exit.

    Mr Johnson's journey to the talks - which will also be attended by US secretary of state John Kerry - was delayed after his plane had to make an emergency landing.

      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Killing is way over the top. Most would settle for deportation to Brussels.

          [Merged]Brexit bad news

          Brexit plunges UK economy to worst level since 2009, data suggests - BBC News

          "Britain's decision to leave the EU has led to a "dramatic deterioration" in economic activity, not seen since the aftermath of the financial crisis.
          Data from Markit's Purchasing Manager's Index, or PMI, shows a fall to 47.7 in July, the lowest level since April in 2009. A reading below 50 indicates contraction.
          Both manufacturing and service sectors saw a decline in output and orders.
          However, exports picked up, driven by the weakening of the pound.
          The report surveyed more than 650 services companies, from sectors including transport, business services, computing and restaurants.
          Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, said the downturn has been "most commonly attributed in one way or another to 'Brexit'."
          "Given the record slump in service sector business expectations, the suggestion is that there is further pain to come in the short-term at least."
          Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said the figures provided the "first major evidence that the UK is entering a sharp downturn".
          Although he added that the "confidence shock from the Leave vote might wear off over the coming months".
          Neil Wilson, markets analyst at ETX Capital, said he thought the UK was "heading for a recession again", and that the data would almost certainly prompt the Bank of England to roll out further stimulus.
          The pound has fallen in response to the publication of the data."

              What a surprise, not.
              Wait for the contract market to shrink sharply.

                  Brexiters are generally too thick to take the plum roles wherever they are.

                    Let kick the can down the road again.
