Those scheming betrayers also left Australia out of the transport plan for EU members.

How much lead paint do you need to eat to see the loaded language in these headlines and think “yeah - seems legit.”

That’s Switzerland. (not a member of the EU)

Imagine speaking with such authority whilst simultaneously lacking such a basic understanding of Europe.

Which 70 cretins upvoted this arse water?

So the EU isn’t allowed to cooperate with a country (that’s at least part of the single market and contiguous continent), because they saw no value in including Britain, and that was a scheming betrayal?

What point are you failing to make here?

I don’t think that they’re refusing to cooperate. I think they’re looking after their own members and why wouldn’t they? Are you suggesting that they give the same benefits to member states as non-member states? If so, why wouldn’t everyone leave?

Are you going to adress that you don’t know the difference between Austria and Switzerland or am I just getting suckered in to feeding the troll? Coz if you’re trolling then you’re actually very funny but I’m probably too autistic to tell.

This is from the Daily Express, which is a paper that’s full of these sort of ragebait, horseshit headlines.

Notably it was the first major paper to back Brexit. They should be delighted about this. Fucking mould-ridden wankstains.

If they identified themselves by hating anti-EU pieces, I imagine it’s hard do stop.

Wasn’t the UK govt also complaining about their tax money going into funding EU projects like this?

No one said they didn’t want these kind of projects. They just didn’t want to have to pay for them.

I lived in Britain during the Leave campaign and it was all about getting the benefits without the responsabilities or costs.

In fact, the sequence of political events that lead to the Leave Referendum was Britain in the EU trying to have less and less obligations whilst keeping the benefits of Membership to the point that eventually, when the UK demanded “otherwise we have a Referedum on Leave” to not to have to abide by Freedom Of Movement into their country whilst keeping all the rest including Freedom Of Movement for Britons into other EU countries, the rest of the EU said “No!”. After this, David Cammeron was under huge pressure to do the Referendum “to show the EU” and the rest is History.

The La-La-Land fantasism of the Leave side was always unbelievable, with everything from genuine expections of, post leave, having “Same Rights as Members With No Obligations”, to after Brexit “Other EU Nations will Follow Us Out”.

I would say that by this point it’s clear that whatever Britain is “showing the EU” isn’t quite what was in Leaver fantasies.

I’m definitely just a dumb American but I love how apparently “What is Brexit” was the biggest UK web search the day it got approved.
