It is always interesting for me at least, to check out the reaction in Europe to the farce that we have seen around the vote and afterwards. A Guardian journalist (HERE) makes some observations that we don’t see in the British media. Among them are the insults we have hurled at the EU over the past few months (this week they were called a tyranny!) which are never going to help smooth the way.
He also talks about the blackmail that Cameron used, threatening to support leave unless he got some concessions. The article now points out the boot is on the other foot and it is the EU who will now be threatening to give us leave.
And as for the EU needing the UK more than the other way round he asks who is begging us to stay to avoid damaging the EU? Nobody. The pound is down against the euro rather than the opposite. Companies are talking about moving into the EU not out of it.
Amazingly, David Davis actually thinks the cards are stacked in our favour! He must have banged his head just before uttering these words in the House of Commons yesterday. If not he’s delusional.
