"Hopefully"...? Are many Brits still not tired of these self-deceptions and illusions?


Don'T mean to be personally hostile, Jim, please don'T take it as that. I just underline what it really is about - damaging Britain as severly as possible. A precedent that will scare away any other people dreaming of leaving the empire. A hard lesson beeing taught that is never to be forgotten.



They even tolerate a certain ammount of self-damage to the eU, even if it is in total higher than for Britain. The eU, so they reason, can digest such damage easier than Britain. That Britain is being made to suffer from all this - this is utmost priority. It always was.


I told that from all beginning on, two years ago. I said there cannot be a soft Brexit. The British tradition of liberty and freedom is very different from continetal Europe'S potlical reaosning, which is based on state authoritarianism and socialist planning, disguised as "social responsibility" and "solidarity". Two worlds collide here, and Britain - was a net contributor to the EU. Why could anyone assume the majorit yof net receivers would any of their blacmailed paymasters volunarily leave so easily, when the ticks live of their prey's blood?
