Europe Is Bored With Brexit

Surprise surprise, seems like the journalists noticed that BrExit is really not newsworthy on the continent.

bloomberg.com

vaxiawval: Of course people in general are far from being as much interested in what happens in the EU as we are, and even the brits, well, they failed to understand they were in the EU for 40 years, voted in an orgy of misdirected hate and racism, not informations, and now they probably fail to understand they're getting out.

Nicholas Berry: Seems like this community is still somewhat obsessed by Brexit though. Two recent cartoons, quite well received (relatively speaking) bears that out, particularly when the poster some time ago vowed to only post anything EU positive.

A powerful negative, is grudge. See it a lot here. Also see it at a much higher level, on your side of the English Channel that is.

Of course, once boredom sets in, failure almost surely quickly follows ;-)

HaHa, just look at the next post. No boredom with Brexit here. So predictable.

Nicholas Berry: Of course, trying to be broad minded as ever, EuroNews certainly bears out the post, in so much that there's a lot of other things going on Europe-wise, that dominates its pages.

You do have to scroll a bit to find: http://www.euronews.com/2017/07/14/brexit-ukraine-and-greece-dominate-eu-political-agenda-this-week

Yet, looking at the current on-line Home page of the Telegraph, Brexit hardly gets a look. Lot's of other news to relay it would appear. The Guardian is a little more Brexit interested, but not much more.

Maybe we should all get on with our lives and forget all about it.

Nah, that's never going to happen, bored shitless or otherwise

;-)

The Russian Defence Ministry Presents Evidence They Faked Their Previous MH17 Evidence
It’s now clear that on July 21st 2014, only a few days after 298 were killed in Ukraine, the Russian Defence Ministry presented to the world a series of clearly fabricated evidence and claims, and even the Russian Defence Ministry’s own evidence proves that is the case.

Marc Plagemann: Denke der will seine "News"-Plattform pushen. Und das mit den üblichen Methoden.

Marc Plagemann: +Andreas Kostyrka Völlig richtig - wie gesagt, mit den üblichen Methoden: Angst schüren, den Besorgten nach dem Mund reden, etc.
Kann nicht einschätzen, ob er seine Meinung wiedergibt, oder ob es reines Klickbaiting ist.

Andreas Kostyrka: +Marc Plagemann Naja, ein Hitler fan video ist ziemlich krank.

Faszinierend die Aufzählung der Dinge die Hitler falsch gemacht hat, aber natürlich hat Hitler nur einen Krieg angefangen den er gewinnen konnte, aber dann waren die Vorteile alle plötzlich Nachteile, kopf schüttel

I know, it has to look good, but wouldn't it be easier, if the EC just faxed the dummies the end result, put in the X-es where they need to sign and be done with it?

Every second week the UK accepts some EC position. Spare yourself the humiliation, ask for the finished text, sign it, and enjoy :)

The U.K. acknowledged for the first time on paper that it will have to pay money to the European Union as it withdraws from the bloc, seeking to damp down a row over the country’s so-called Brexit bill.

U.K. Accepts It Must Pay Brexit Bill on Departing European Union

Andreas Kostyrka: +David Wright As a guess, the currency exchange markets should have enough liquidity to convert that, especially considering that the £100bn (or whatever the sum will be) will be split over multiple years.

Andreas Kostyrka: +David Wright Actually, if I remember it right, the EU insists on Euros for payment.
independent.co.uk - European Union demands Britain pay Brexit bill in euros not pounds

David Wright: All negotiation waffle at the moment. Although the fact that they are asking for sterling notes at all means that they are not expecting the UK to go too far wrong economically. Unless they're planning on sending out £10 notes to every EU citizen to use as toilet paper?

How long before the tabloids start to cry "the Europeans are out to punish us!!!!"?

Out is out, and that's something that is rather clear to the continental Europeans.

It might feel like punishment, but it's actually British democracy at it's best punishing the country :)

Two-thirds of Europeans believe EU should take hard line on Brexit – poll.

Sixty-five per cent of those questioned in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Italy Austria, Hungary and Poland said the EU, while trying to maintain a good relationship with Britain, should not compromise on its core principles

vaxiawval: Actually, that's what they're saying since day one after Referendum when EU leaders told them 'it's all right, you voted, be it as you want, even if we are sorry you leave'

The main difference is that nobody in the EU is sorry anymore after this shameful year, which came quite unexpected, at least to me.

We were used to consider Britain sometimes nasty, but a serious, responsible country, or, at least, funny, what we got is neither seriousness nor fine humour, it's the most tedious British Circus Zoo & Clowns Show, worse than Barnum.

Now the only urgency is to get rid of them as fast as possible.

vaxiawval: A remarkable anti-british list but I think you've forgotten one thing +Gilles Bourdin :

Saying that the British Governments, the British Parliament and the British People who voted them were no kids and they knew what they were doing in the last 40 years, is very, very Anti-British.

Andreas Kostyrka: +Gilles Bourdin But that will just make the need to get rid of the British vote in April 2019 so much stronger.

Anything where Whitehall is blackmailing/harassing/blocking the EU will lower the welcome if the UK should decide to cancel BrExit. And it will lower any will to accommodate British requirements in the talks. And last but not least, after they've left, the backlash might be become significant.

To many industries in the UK could grind to a stop if the EU throws the rules book on them.

Flights? Oh, only if you do the maintenance in certified shops, no we don't recognize that British agency you quickly put in place. Let's negotiate about recognizing your agency after we've seen how they work for a year or two.

Radioactive goods, oops, let's negotiate about that when we have managed flights to go again.

Full customs regime. Let the Brits redesign their ports so the lorries can queue.

There are many things that the EU could do to raise the pain significantly for the UK, without even doing anything special, just make no exceptions for the Brits, let them live by the full rules book for 3rd party countries.
