‘Thanks, goodbye and good riddance’ — EU’s parting words to UK

The EU’s final words to the UK as it departed the union after nearly half a century were “thank you, goodbye, and good riddance”.

The misspoken farewell, spoken by the Croatian ambassador to her UK counterpart Tim Barrow last week, perhaps sums up 47 years of the Britons being lost in translation in Brussels.

Irena Andrassy, the Croatian ambassador, was chairing the UK’s final meeting of EU envoys as a member state because her country holds the six-month EU presidency. She assumed “good riddance” was akin to “good luck”, said diplomats present in the room.
