Some interesting statistics: This is what Europe thinks Brexit should look like

Interesting.

Now the negotiating guidelines are locked in, there's little chance of Whitehall playing other EU member states off against each other (not that there was much to begin with). The sea of vagueness in the Queen's speech shows just how little confidence the British govt. feel right now, which is good news for all those seeking a sensible deal. Least there was the hat.

So, the UK foots the bill, there'll be no special deal on the four freedoms, a Turkey-style trade deal is on if the UK is prepared to play ball, and Brexit has nothing to do with defence.

I don't think it tells us anything new. It just confirms that the UK's options are, to say the least, limited.

I just wonder are we at the saving face stage; finding a way out of Brexit with no one for all the British loosing face.

The English child masters in them?

Translate function is obviously missing the point, what is the real English equivalent?

RobM · **#168** by **RobM** » Jun 23, 2017 1:04 pm

Surely a better translation would be something like:

"The English, finally masters at home."

Scot Dutchy · **#169** by **Scot Dutchy** » Jun 23, 2017 1:13 pm

Thanks Rob.
I found it with this translation: At last the English are their own masters.

But we've got our country back & we're getting rid of those pesky EU rules by making them our rules in a Repeal Bill that won't actually repeal anything. Next, we'll repeal all the stuff in the Repeal bill, and turn the UK into a basket-case tax haven where India will choose to off-shore its sweatshops 'cos it's cheaper to run them here. And when the Chunnel has been filled in with the rubble from demolished Polski Skleps and the UK is like an Albania that's really gone to the dogs, hard-line Brexiteers will sit in the corner, grinning maniacally, whilst pleasuring themselves furiously and drooling over a photograph of Nigel Farage. What's not to like?

FFFFFfuuuuuccck Theresa May is toast.

Brexit: May 'blocked unilateral offer for EU citizens' rights' last June

Claim that then home secretary was sole cabinet minister to block move published in editorial in Evening Standard, edited by former chancellor George Osborne

Theresa May was the sole cabinet minister to block a unilateral offer to EU citizens that they could remain in Britain in the days following the referendum, according to an editorial in the London Evening Standard.

The paper, edited by former chancellor George Osborne, reports that David Cameron had prepared an offer to give EU citizens certainty in the days following the referendum result last June.

ronmcd · **#177** by **ronmcd** » Jun 23, 2017 4:07 pm

But speakng at a press conference at the EU council meeting in Brussels, May, when asked about the Standard story, said: “That is not my recollection”

Scot Dutchy · **#178** by **Scot Dutchy** » Jun 23, 2017 4:22 pm

Fake news. She is becoming very Trumphian.

Edit: high-res image version from The Economist:

Assuming the data were gathered by asking people in respective countries, I would think its pretty much irrelevant as it will not be people in respective countries having say and likely having any influence over negotiations.

Brexit is being put on the back burner where it belongs.

Brexit talks 'will not consume EU', Angela Merkel warns Britain

EU leaders dismiss Theresa May’s offer on citizens’ rights as inadequate while summit seeks to focus on terrorism and defence

Does not May realise that there is something called negotiations going on and that is the place to drop this rubbish not at a summit dinner. The woman cant think. Nobody is interested in the wanderings of her mind. She has not got a clue how the EU works. The EU have designated a team to handle it and that is whom she should be communicating with not all the other leaders. They have nothing to bring into the negotiations but that is the problem because of the tory governments inflated view of the UK. On this side of the Channel nobody could not give two fucks about Brexit. The sooner she realises this the better. Insulting the negotiators with these childish actions wont do her or Brexit any good.
