One word to describe the Brexit situation ?

@MarkA Embarrassing.

@MarkA The situation is complicated. I I think it can safely be said that everyone is now looking for the least worst solution, since there is no good one.

Indeed.....

@MarkA Did you really expect to leave a club, & retain the benefits of being a member?
They're not bullying, we're sulking because we're not getting what we want!!
We think we're something special, & were finding out we ain't anymore... 🤷‍♀️

@whowasthatmaskedman yes, I agree, but with Teresa May as the scapegoat for a bunch of spineless, gutless, in-fighting halfwits

@Harriet03 THE EU TOOK MY CANDY ITS NOT FAIR😭

@MarkA The whole thing has really been all about settling a argument within the Tory party!!

@Harriet03 if we had a better deal from the EU we wouldn't be leaving.
My parents didn't vote to join a European Superstate in 1972. They voted to become a symbiotic, mutually beneficial trading partner. Nothing more....

@Harriet03 really?

@MarkA I agree, but we had a veto to stop that transition. Did we use it??? No we didn't, both parties including the coalition.

So, they are ALL culpable then.....

@MarkA I agree. But the politics is only one side. There is also not only the position of the EU economically now, with its bailing out failing members. But also the direction that will lead with the working economies stabilising the rest at their own cost. The interaction of politics and economics is visible in France right now. I see leaving as a way of getting off a sinking ship. But it does mean England will be a lifeboat adrift.

@whowasthatmaskedman Your right it's become to big. They would rather the Eastern countries be in their club, rather than Russias. There all potless!!

@whowasthatmaskedman maybe the powers that be in Britain don't like the idea of bailing out fellow members because of their fiscal ineptitude....maybe it proves that a European Superstate won't work. It's a wake-up call for Europe and they don't like it...I can understand that. They are desperate for us (our money) not to leave. It could spell the end of the financial security for those nations not doing very well financially. Just an idea.

@MarkA Yes. That is an accurate summary of the situation. Just not all of it. There is a massive opportunity for profit by some in a No Deal Brexit as they get to re-write the rule book to suit them. And the immigration factor plays into the hands of some. Plus Angela Merkels looming retirement will change the German position on migration and payments to the EU and the eastern states you mentioned are vulnerable to Russian pressure. There are so many pieces in play its like a break shot on a snooker table.

I'm sure you're right.
Exciting, isnt it?!

@MarkA If you are not an ant on the table, Yes. 😉
