Lol why would the UK need to follow in Yugoslavia’s footsteps?
Have you read article 50? Do you know what a customs union is? This isn’t jail or the Russian mob, countries have the right to depart if they want without “pissing off the whole of Europe” ,
As well as Europe being angry for two years they’ve also made it as difficult as possible for the UK to leave and used the international media to trash them? So who would want to stick around for that behaviour ??
Hey, what did UK expect, that EU will reward it and give it all sorts of benefits for leaving? It is only natural that EU will protect its interests. Personally, I would not grant the UK customs union. It only wants benefits of the EU but non of the obligations. I hope it doesn't happen.
The EU did not try to make it hard to leave for you, but to protect itself from UK's disruptivness.
It’s not disruptive to exit a union which has clauses that give rights to exit the union. This is available to all countries and what is “mob politics” is having the EU drag a country through bad press for three years because they want to leave. You might think that’s the appropriate way to behave, well it’s not. Sure being fair and accepting the UK into the single market will be lovely. But don’t think if that option is taken away that there are no more options on the table. It’s very easy to get more business when you change your tax tariffs and become a tax haven, lots of businesses would love to take advantage of lower taxes and relocate for that purpose. Liechenstein , Iceland , Switzerland and Norway are not in the EU and they pay into the single market. Liechtenstein is the 8th richest country in the world and have you seen how successful the Swiss are in business?
The EUs attitude is very clear now, we can see it for what it is through this experience of pettiness and threats of economic isolation. The UK will power through long term without a deal and open itself up to global trade
dream on, uk is divided its a society in which the rich scam the poor, without the EU there is nothing protecting them,
In any vote there’s a divide , Yugoslavia is a war torn mess, that accepted Being occupied by Germany in WW2 it would take a lot more than a referendum to end up like Yugoslavia loooooool.
Are you deluded , do you think we’re going to have British refugees running from the UK and dividing into 6 parts, shooting each other up on the news because of leaving a customs union . Get real .
oh no eu is not as divided as uk now, brexit destroyed eu opposition in europe, and created anti uk opposition in uk
in uk mps are resigning in a row the government stopped working and ran into a trust crisis.
many consider brexit the end of uk (from great britain to little england)
and thats all correct because there cant be a peaceful coexistance between EU and UK,
the problem is UK wants to leech of EU, EU seeks to integrate its environment. the british arrogance is responsible for the downfall of the once powerful throne in england. that had during its prime never relly a lot to do with "britishness" actually.
you have the broken government and the weak negotiation situation not the EU, that has a population backing it to go much more thougher on the leechers that run central bank scam society.
thank god the eastern europeans and other continental europeans a realising the fraud and scam the uk is and leaving it.
here this is from the uk news outlet:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/fall-immigration-brexit-cost-uk-finances-billions-global-futures-a8448261.htmluk is a big leecher in europe and historically was, it took advantage of eastern european labour to enrich itself, thank good they lost with brexit all their trust and are becoming yemen now
with those eastern europeans returning home their countries will get much wealthier,
brexitiers that wanted to controll immigration will end up with mass flooding of indians and africans due to trade deal agreements that they cant get with mutual benefits anymore.
