The long, tortuous, calamitous process of EUxit from the United Kingdom has revealed the EU to be the slow boiling frog of European politics.
No more so than today with yet another patient warning from leading nationalists in the superstate governed from Westminster, calling on the EU to get its act together.
”It’s time for the EU’s games to cease,” Junker and Barnier, Merkel, Macron and Tusk, were warned in a joint letter by Theresa May (referred to across the channel by various ways of saying Mother) and David Davis (referred to as timber).
The letter, on official House of Commons paper, was left on the luggage rack of a Eurostar carriage, so there was no doubt about the EU getting the message about the British position.
“For too long consensus on rules, as a mechanism for allowing dozens of countries to operate in unison, have stymied the process of EUxit from the United Kingdom,” the warning continued,
“it will simply not be possible, however charitable the spirit at Downing Street, for May to agree the terms of the EU’s departure if they continue to refuse to smash it out over tequila shots with David Davis in the back room of a private member’s club, before shoving all the boring stuff aside and bringing in the lap dancers.”
The warning is a timely one and it is hoped that the EU will finally come to terms with the relative power difference between themselves, a struggling trading bloc, and the might of the British Empire.
