Of course I know the EU's equivalent of Whitehall scrutinise what we say and do- possibly even MN!

But if you had their ear, what would you say?

I do understand that there is no complete, overriding consensus within the EU 'Parliament'!

But imagine you are addressing the EU MEPs.

What would you like to feel they should know?

I apologise for our appalling politicians that I am truly ashamed of. Please come to our rescue as it is clearly beyond their capabilities. Having said that it was very obvious right from the start this would be an utter disaster and regrettably you have all been dragged into this mess as well. SOS the UK.

Dear Brussels, Please put us out of our misery, don't agree to an extension. Thanking you in advance. Love and Hugs Time4chocolate.

TheCaddyisaBaddie · 05/09/2019 23:12

I would say 'oh look at what's happening over there' and do my best to distract them because, let's face it, none of us know what's happening over here.

madroid · 05/09/2019 23:16

Please do not agree to another extension. The uncertainty is so damaging to businesses and we are already seeing the damage to our economy starting.

Let's just leave and then have a transition where civil servants sort out how to do it without causing chaos

Over and out (soon I hope)

zebrasdontwearbras · 05/09/2019 23:16

Dear Brussels,

Can I come and live with you please?

Yours, Zebras x

I am beyond ashamed of how those in government have spent the past three years.

I am proud that so many of our MPs are working so tirelessly (at their own significant detriment) to try and salvage this though - ad prevent us from crashing out without a deal.

I'm a firm believer that there is no better deal with the EU than the one we have now - as full EU members. Exiting with a withdrawal agreement and a deal would be detrimental to us, and crashing out no deal would be disastrous to the UK.

Kummerspeck · 05/09/2019 23:19

Can you please just tell us you've watched our politicians with utter disgust, don't want us to stay and please tell us to bugger off!
You don't need this uncertainty any more than we do

zebrasdontwearbras · 05/09/2019 23:27

I think the EU look at us with a mixture of pity, and utter incredulity that our top politicians, our government, have acted so unbelievably incompetently.

What did David Davies do for 2 years? What do the UK actually want? We never bothered to make it clear to them - too busy faffing, lying to Parliamentary Committees and infighting.

whyamidoingthis · 05/09/2019 23:29

@madroid - Let's just leave and then have a transition where civil servants sort out how to do it without causing chaos

Leaving with no deal means no transition period so it will be straight into chaos.

As an Irish person, I want to thank Brussels for standing firm with us, even though it would have been easier not to.

zebrasdontwearbras · 05/09/2019 23:32

Right - plus - Civil servants who are being bellowed at by Dom Cummings? Not ideal.

Stilltalkstotrees · 05/09/2019 23:33

Let's just leave and then have a transition where civil servants sort out how to do it without causing chaos

You can’t work out how to do something after you’ve done it Confused

Dear Brussels

Please can I have my European citizenship for Christmas? I promise to at least attempt to talk the language of the country I holiday and work in.

Please say you'll let Scotland in if they apply separately.

Thanks for giving a shit about Ireland and NI. No one here seems to.

Sorry UK politicians are shit (although some are showing backbone!)

Thanks merci grazie danke and goodbye.

BlackeyedGruesome · 06/09/2019 01:10

Je suis désolée parce que je n'ecris pas le français très bien.

Aidez-nous s'il vous plaît. N'oubliez pas les "6 million" qui voudraient rester dans l'Union Européenne, les pauvres, les malades.

La paix en Irlande est très importante, protégez la paix.

Et Boris? Il est fou.

MysteryTripAgain · 06/09/2019 04:54

Dear Brussels

As an individual I prefer that UK leaves the EU with a deal as opposed to leaving without a deal.

If law is passed that prevents UK from leaving the EU without a deal, does the EU agree to extend Article 50 permanently and incur the costs of uncertainty forever as referenced by Mr Barnier in March 2019?

Or will EU become tired of incurring costs and not agree to a permanent extension to Article 50, effectively forcing the UK to leave with out a deal? If so how does that avoid a border being installed between ROI and NI in accordance with EU law?

We are being held hostage by lying, wealthy disaster capitalists and following a trajectory towards a far-right govt. send help.

Alicewond · 06/09/2019 05:03

Dear Brussels

Please just refuse to extend and kick us out. Most of our mp’s are weak and scared. They refuse to stand by a vote wishing to divorce you. Now they fight, throw ran tantrums and refuse to let us leave despite our majority wishes. So we are left being bullied, told we didn’t really mean this, we must have been misled and mistaken. We want to leave, let us go. This messy divorce is causing everyone pain and constant boring newspaper headlines. Your sincerely boredofbrexit

AgentProvocateur · 06/09/2019 05:06

Dear Brussels,
Please can Scotland get in separately if the U.K. crashes out?

Merci.

MysteryTripAgain · 06/09/2019 05:22

Please can Scotland get in separately if the U.K. crashes out??

Another border to be built.

MyOtherProfile · 06/09/2019 05:34

Dear Brussels
So sorry. Please can we just forget the last 3 years and carry on with how things were before, and our nice friendly relationship that we used to have? We promise never to mention it again.

bellinisurge · 06/09/2019 05:36

Dear Brussels,
Stand up for Ireland.
And, I'm very sorry

Mummyoflittledragon · 06/09/2019 05:57

Dear Brussels
Please find a loophole to cancel article 50 your end. Thank you. MOLD

FenellaMaxwell · 06/09/2019 06:23

Dear Brussels

If this shit show does go through, once the idiots behind Leave finally realise what a colossal fucking fuck up they’ve made, please remember that lots of us still love you, and is there any chance we could just do like Ross from Friends and pretend we were on a break??

eurochick · 06/09/2019 07:11

Dear Brussels,

Please help us to an easy way out of this shitshow. This is embarrassing

And once this is over, please realise that whilst a lot of EU citizens support economic union, the "ever closer union" dream of Eurocrats is not popular outside your bubble, and I don't mean just in the U.K. Ploughing on is likely to lead to a fracturing of the union, to the detriment of all within it.

Merci beaucoup.

MysteryTripAgain · 06/09/2019 07:11

Good thread this:

Dear Brussels,

Can you please take the lead and suggest an NI only backstop as a solution to the current impasse as that option not yet been tested in UK parliament?

Yours faithfully

Boris

RuggerHug · 06/09/2019 08:01

Dear Brussels.

Thanks for sticking with us and putting the effort into understanding us so we won't be completely fucked by them next door. Now the world knows what we've been dealing with for over 800 years. Keep up the good work!

Love, ROI.
