Just watched the bbc2 programme on Europe 10 years of turmoil

And can't believe the utter hash of it all the tories have made, its all been about their ego's and keeping them in power, its disgusting what they have been allowed to do to this country.

And if we all end up poorer, none of them will go without, they won't be affected like Joe Bloggs

It's just sickening

And remember, the referendum was advisory, this means Brexit is Tory party policy not something they were legally obliged to do.

Absolutely. The EU leaders were very clear they thought this would be a mistake for the British people and for the tory party but of course the tories knew better

It’s fascinating joining the dots in hindsight, when you know the outcome of all theses events. it wasn’t so obvious at the time where it was going to end up.

But yes, Call-me-Dave went to negotiate with the E.U. because he wanted to unify his party and hold on to power. But the E.U. leaders rightly said the U.K. didn’t have a social or economic emergency (ie proper emergency not a “political” one) and politely told him to do one when he threw his toys out of the pram. 27 v 1 - what did he honestly expect?

What is interesting is that TM was Home Secretary and so must have been in on the inner circle of Dave’s discussions. So she’s known all along how difficult it is to get EU27 to agree that we in the U.K. are special and deserving of special treatment, yet ploughed on anyway. Cameron got called out for getting a crap deal pre-referendum, May is getting the same. Just what kind of deal(s) did people think we were going to get?

It's beyond frustrating.
