It's certainly true that acting in unison is much easier since Brexit.

And you're right, this is hard on the UK, but when/if it joins, it will hopefully understand and furhter propel this direction of travel.

…..and now we have one of these alerts ‼️

No mention of wind

It’s been ridiculous here in València for the last few weeks, not much rain, clear skies yet a 50km/h south westerly wind all the time with periods where we get gusts up to 100km/h

Make it stop!!!!

Personally I would start with the Sherry, then the Bass, Guinness and finishing with the Port

I’m not a fan of these rationalisations of Ratcliffe’s outburst. 5D chess this isn’t. He’s an unabashed old-fashioned nativist cunt.

Hardly needs to be said, but Brexit is the *polar opposite* of finishing the single market or uniting to face down threats from outside our continent.

Let Britain into EU’s ‘Made in Europe’ club, UK finance minister says The proposal would see minimum levels of European-made content mandated in public contracts.

Do we have our begging bowl out or is it just ‘cake and eat it’ again?

Brexit has probably meant that making these necessary changes and advancements is easier for Europe

The real tragedy for Britons is that Europe is changing rapidly and we are no longer involved

Something many of the “rejoin” and “we just want our FoM back” crowd will be completely unaware of

Do British citizens WANT to become what the US is now (& getting worse every day?)
I’ll bet if I put together a panel of American (& other totalitarian) experts who watched our undoing in real time & put them on a panel or in a documentary, it would likely shock some minds awake.

The implosion of the Wales rugby team: What’s really going on

The picture seems to sum up why Wales lost so heavily

It looks like we sent the U16 squad to Twickenham

I have all my streaming services on a Chromecast with Google TV

The homepage comes up with loads of suggestions for Films and Series on the different platforms that I never realised existed and would never have found otherwise

At €4.99 a month Prime is just about worth having

And if you think the 2 or 3 years of disruption when it was being built was bad, it will be nothing compared to the decade or more it would take to build a tram network

They’ve run out of yellow boxes to complain about

No

My glass is usually half full, but unfortunately I don’t see that as being any different to the “reset” position

They desperately want to find a way to hack the SM without committing too much, while continuing to believe there are unicorns over the horizon

As an American now in EU, have to say y’all sound so much like 🇺🇸 did just before Nov 2024.
Putin is thrilled about your blaming, infighting & lack of unity. So is Trump.
Farage wants what Trump wants - to destroy democracy, the UK economy & European unity.
Stunned that more 🇬🇧 don’t see it.

Epstein had great AC

At least have a big flag if you must have one

Those all look a bit cheap and tacky……or maybe it was deliberate

It is quite funny how obsessed Humpty is with the “blame” game over Brexit

But he is very obsessed about a few other things too

Ultimately if WE want to join the EU again WE have to elect a Government that wants to be a part of Europe, and WE have failed to do that since at least 2010 maybe 2005

Getting a guaranteed 4 1/8 % until 2031 isn’t to be sniffed at

It was Livingstone’s fault

I was perfectly happy getting the overground from Raynes Park, then he decided to slash the fares on London Transport and I just love a bargain

Commuting into the city on the Northern Line from Morden made me into who I am today

Unless the UK can accept responsibility for Brexit - an attack on the European unity by UK voters, don't forget - articulate and develop a proper pro-Europeanism, there is no real solution. The Brexiters will have won.

Blaming the "conspiracy" simply gives an excuse for the British electorate not to change its attitude to Europe.

Brexit happened by playing on nostalgia, exceptionalism, jealousy and straight-up Europhobia.

That there was manipulation doesn't hide the fact that these ugly sentiments are there.

a man singing into a microphone with the words " i won 't do " written below him Alt: a man singing into a microphone with the words " i won 't do " written below him

Exactly this. And UK pro-Europeans play into their hands by blaming Europe for Brexit outcomes, by making the relationship transactional, by saying they'd do anything for Europe, but they won't do that.

Make the bloody case, hard, and win the argument.

is most likely hindering any chance of doing something about it

We have to take the responsibility

We can’t just expect someone else to sort out the problem

There are undoubtedly far too many people who refuse to accept collective responsibility for what has happened

In Sport you win as a team and lose as a team (even if it was the skinny kid on the wing who missed the tackle)

Constantly trying to find someone else to blame for Brexit won’t help and
