I agree that he will say a lot just to get a reaction.

It seems like she can only do one thing at a time. Becomes fixated and stuck on that. Until something shinier and more catastrophic offers itself. Interesting read.
If she’s so obsessed with maintaining the Union (uk) how is she so blind and deaf to the clamour in both NI and Scotland who voted remain?

Angela Merkel is in Dublin today. Varadkar brought people from the border counties to tell her their stories about how we can’t go back to a hard border.
Angela grew up in Eastern Germany on the wrong side of the wall. As if she needs to be told about hard borders. I don’t know whether it’s effective or eyeroll diplomacy

Does the EU have an exit plan? Do they know what they are going to do with UKer's working in the EU? Do they have a transition plan? Are they working towards protecting EUer's working in the UK? The EU seems almost as unprepared as the UK.

The EU are prepared up to the hilt and beyond.
Read this. It’s long but shows clearly how well prepped and competent the Eu has been and how appalling and arrogant the uk have been
Might be the definitive piece on brexit

It’s a good read.
Also. Eu have confirmed no visa required for uk citizens.
Uk are hammering down on free movement and closing up shop.
They’re bascislly Fucking everything up for their own people.

Merkels speech in Dublin today was definitely significant that the most powerful person in Europe sees Ireland as one country and analogous to her own country, despite the current legal position of NI: 'I personally come after all from a country that for many, many years was divided.... so I know only too well what it means once borders are banished... and that one needs do everything to bring about peaceful cooperation...'
Sit down Britain. The adults are talking now.

Again, speaking from a position of relative ignorance, but "How the fuck was an organization of over two dozen nations more organized than one single nation?"

Mairead mcGuinness is Vice President of the European Parliament. Tipped to be the next president. Why she lowered herself to this I don’t know but just press play.

You’d have to take a deep dive into Britain and it’s make up for that.
Imperial delusions and hangover. Remember, they ruled most of the world up until relatively recently. But despite that no longer being the case, they still do in their minds culturally.
In this current situation
‘Why aren’t these bloody paddies and Gerry’s rolling over when we tell them to!’ Effectively.
Or look up the lyrics to Rule Britannia for a shorter cliff notes version
