      Just curious from an American here -

      Why should the EU have treated the UK better during brexit? It was clear at the time that they were weakening Europe and themselves on the back of things like immigrant fear stoked by far right and Russian propaganda.

      The people of the UK that voted leave or didn’t bother to vote fucked themselves didn’t they?

        They shouldn’t. The “No” campaign ran flat-out lies about what Britain would be able to get out of negotiations, claiming we “hold all the cards”. We did not.

          Curiously, this “reality” of yours doesn’t mention any of the metric ton of lies told by Farage, Johnson, etc. For example, that bus claiming millions of pounds would go to the NHS after Brexit. You correctly state People are hurt by conservative policies, however Brits keep voting for them. You could have voted for Corbyn - you chose not to. Instead of keeping to ask for a special deal, after special deal after special deal as Britain did before, and during Brexit, just negotiate like normal people.

          what’s the alternative to nuke sharing? Germany builds its own arsenal and you have no stake or say in it whatsoever. Does that sound more appealing to you?

              I am not the slightest bit interested in the majority of your post, it is irrelevant.

              Thanks for exposing your utter ignorance right in your 1st sentence.

              Edit - and you downvote this too. Somebody beat me to it so you were already downvoted before I read this.

              Im not sure if you are just trolling for downvotes or if you really believe the crazy ignorant BS you post. If it’s the latter do get some help.
