Why is it that nothing is surprising in what is said here? The EU pays 1% of its GDP to have the power make deals that are in its interest. Why would anybody have given upon that investment?
The difference between demands of the exceptionals and offers of equals has to be understood plus full acceptance of the present staus of NI. No full membership for a long time until the phantom pain of a lost empire of England has been treated fully. And understanding of what the EU is and what its values really are abd why they are existing would do some good as well. Englanders don’t have a clue about the EU, not even thrir representatives.
It still fascinates me how out-of-touch British society is with understanding what the EU completely entails. First, you have to stop using the term, ‘ex-pat,’ though.
Catalonia votes out from Spain then Catalonia will never be part of the EU. Last time they lost 3000 biggest businesses including two of the biggest banks La Caixa and Banco Sabadell. They left because they didn’t want to end up outside of the EU. Catalonians massively damaged their economy. Now Catalonia is not a place to invest.
They were but they have screwed the economy themselves and shooting their own foot with the Ruzzian sponsored independence 💩 they damaged the economy even more.
The EU accepted it long before the British government did. And many in the UK still don't seem to accept that the UK has left, and pretend that brexit isn't done yet.
A vote from people who didnt understand the EU and the complexity of the world! And some fall for the lies of the leave campaign. Making your own laws (how did that go?), better trade deals (and this?), fewer immigrants (oh, and this?), Fishermen and farmers are better off (this?), more money for the NHS (this?), more housing (men, I am tired of writing, this!?)
What the EU empire lost. The list below is just some of the things the eu is desperately going to miss- This is what the EU empire loses- Privileged access to the 6th largest economy in the world The worlds number one financial centre EU’s number one trading partner One half of The EU’s two UN big five seats EU’s most capable armed forces, by far. One of the EU’s two nuclear armed powers. The world’s number one soft power. EU’s most creative and inventive member. World leading film industry, 23% global box office take. EU’s largest diplomatic network. EU’s largest tech hub. The world’s no,1 city for fintec investment EU,s only member of the five “eyes”. EU’s most capable intelligence services. EU’s largest job creating economy 4 of the global top 10 universities. EU has none. EU,s second largest net contributor, £15 billion annually. The world’s third largest food exporter EU’s largest maker of satellites. Our guaranteed IMF, world trade, G7, 8 or 20 agreement. The EU’s second largest foreign aid budget. Any last remaining, minute amount of credible democratic legitimacy. Lots and lots of free fish Number of noble prize winners Uk 2nd in Olympic medal chart. And much ,much more besides. Instead the eu fantasy of becoming an empire of global clout it leaves just a worn out husk of a barren organisation. At least one European country should be a genuine democracy, thank goodness it will once again Britain.
The British psyche cannot contend with the fact its no longer an empire the idea a medium sized economy could isolate itself on the geopolitical stage and expect growth let alone its neighbors and other nations submitting to its stipulations. Why should you be the one to benefit? i hope you realize if your a brexiter the decline of British influence was your choice and your children and children's children well face the consequences of your hubris
All a delusion. Perhaps listen to one of the many talks on YT to UK based think tanks by Peter Foster Editor of the FT (a conservative sober paper) talking about his book ‘Brexit What Went Wrong’. The UK has from long ago not been a great power, in fact the empire started ending post WW1 and definitely post WW2 and now as a lone middling power with a shrinking economy (4% reduction in GDP by 4 yrs according to the OBR) and it has continued shrinking. You display a fatal misunderstanding of the UK’s place in the world. World trade is and always has been a jungle where the big gorillas make the rules. Today the big gorillas are the US and China and the EU. The UK is now a rule taker if it wants to trade.
The UK tried the old imperial divide and conquer techniques but it didn't work. The EU stayed strong , very proud of the EU -well done
Very funny.
I agree. We have to erect a statue for the BoZo 🤡 He managed to unite the Europe 🎉 Besides our 🇪🇺 pigeons needs more toilets 🚽 🎉

Its a good conversation but the audio mixing is horrific

I thought Catalonia was better off economically than the rest of Spain !?
They were but they have screwed the economy themselves and shooting their own foot with the Ruzzian sponsored independence 💩 they damaged the economy even more.
Catalonians screwed their own economy
I've always said that it would take a least 10 years for the EU to except the UK democratic vote to leave!
The EU accepted it long before the British government did. And many in the UK still don't seem to accept that the UK has left, and pretend that brexit isn't done yet.
And the EU managed to accept it in a couple of months.

And your point is? Once again, sentiment about past history does not prepare you for today’s reality.

And that's a win for ... whom?
