I apologise

I thought exactly that after I hit send - that I've overstepped the line

I didn't delete fast enough.

I won't delete now because I own my mistakes

I hope you can forgive this

What's next ? "After the UK gets out of the tyranny Eutvusion, we need to ban the teaching of all foreign languages in UK schools "?

They are beyond absurd

“[US Senators] come to me and say this: ‘We’re giving you all the support to achieve victory’,” Netanyahu said in a video message. “‘But there’s one thing we cannot accept. We cannot handle images of starvation.’”

'Images of starvation" - no Bibi , bad optics

Beyond disgusting

Ah Ok - yes of course - the 20 year fixed price has deal to China

What a bargain that turned out to be - for the buyer of course

The #Brexit delusions continue.

Rachel Reeves: "Britain now is the place to put investment and do business, because we’ve got preferential deals with the biggest economies"

Or - here's just a stray thought - you could do invest/ do business with a country actually INSIDE the EU...

How ironic.
I thought it was Brexit that was going to do that?
Now it turns out its achieved by moving a mm or 2 closer to Europe.
Absurd.
And so very very British

PS - on Twitter you occasionally posted links to your reports for ARD. Could you please do that a bit more here? I really enjoyed the ones I have seen.

Oh OK - so he approved the export of all eastern states gas without a domestic reserver, but it took a decade or so for the infrastructue to be built to allow it to happen?

"give me the puppy for seven months, and I will give you the skateboarding dog"
:) thanks for shareing this Father, it is beautiful

They seemed so all-powerful to the Brexiteers at the time.
Now they are in deep, deep trouble

This is so absurd.
Am I correct that this situation arose from that deal Julia Gillard did with the mining giants just after she replaced Rudd and immediatly abolished the resourses super profit tax?

I will never forget the sight of trolleys full of champagne being wheeled in once it was signed.

Congratulations.
It really fits with your whole person of being a slightly quirky Anglophile living on a canal boat in London.
The UK is lucky to have you, being able to present an excellent reportage of the country to the German-speaking world.
Bravo Annette!

I think once you have been independent, its very hard to then simply align your output to the interests of someone/something else. I have a friend who started his own business when he was 19 and succeeded. He told me he just couldn't imagine working for anyone else anymore.

...yet !

I've never met you, but based on your output, you have something very special to offer any organisation. Barring some major incendent, you are not going to lose this capcity any time soon. I am really sure you are going to go a long way, it's only a question of which way / which field.

Absolutely agree esp on the endless excuses made for Labour.

The delusion of rejoiners who believed in their very own sunlit uplands "once we GTTO" was incredible.

Humility does not come easily to any country which was once an Empire - eg UK, Russia, Turkey.
So I'm not holding my breath

Theresa May coudln't learn the essential lesson.
Every time she tacked towards the hard brexiters, they reacted by saying it was not nearly enough.
Had she stood up to them early on, she could have got something through - maybe by the referendum I suggested above, maybe another way.

Basically a lot of links which might as well be
"Can we have our cake and eat it too?"
Leading to page which says "Well, legally, no, but in practice, politcally, yes"

I just don't think people who want the UK to join get it.
Saying "we're back, but not via A49" isn't going to cut it.

Yes, exactly, we will never know what was possible, because it was simply never tried.

The Tory party was in thrall to those for whom too much Brexit was never enough.

"It's all over now, baby blue" as the saying goes.

In that two year negotiation period, the EU was open to all concepts, including staying in the CU or the SM.

Agree the UK could never vote its way back into those, but at that time it hadn't even left, just started the process.

What is the mood like in the UK now?
Are people just sort of over it all?
Has the phrase "Brexit Betrayal" lost the impact it had during the interminable Theresa May negotiations?

The conservative partying being the insurgent party is a contradiction in terms. Look at the name.

Agree.
More deeply, I think there isn't really a defined role for referendums in the UK.
They seem to be used by the government of the day to maintain the status quo, not as a genuine attempt to make informed policy.
The Brexit referendum was the same, but it blew up in the government's face.

Oh no - you're re-writing history there!
That was the brilliant intellectual, Mr Michael Gove.
Credit where credit's due!

And especially not to do a "Hard Brexit"
The way this was presented again and again as "The Will of The People" was ridiculous.

I suspect many of the 1/3 who didn't vote for whatever reason assumed remain would win. Moreover those people would be highly motivated to vote in a referendum which would lead to a softer Brexit.
It's all speculation now, the opportunity is gone forever.

TBH I don't think many outside Victoria give him a second thought.

Again, no engagement with the facts.
Just incredible anger from you.
I don't get it.

You never answer the points I make: vaccinate mandates were more wide-reaching in NZ, the border closure lasted all the way till July 2022.
You just throw insults at me.
I simply don't get your reaction.
