Well actually because it is that Eminently Idiotic Brexit representative of the European Parliament who has said that breixt is a failing of the EU project itself. He also says that the EU is now, in the wake of Brexit, having to discuss the need for change with more reality.
He then goes on to witter about how the EU project has gained "popularity". Well now, tell that to the Italians.
He also says:
"Because if an important country like the UK is breaking away from the EU it's difficult to say, 'Oh it's a success, fantastic.'
Really? An Important country? Haven't you and your brethren just spent the last 2 years telling the people of the UK that they are a mildly tolerated pimple on the backside of the EU who, if they are good, will get a few scraps when they leave???
Honestly, if you are going to tell lies at least be consistent about it. Otherwise people will, quite rightly, get annoyed and start ranting..
ALL they had to do was bend to One, just ONE of Cameron's requests. Allowing Cameron to come back and say that the EU could change if we were firm enough about it. Now we hear that they are ALL about CHANGE now the UK is leaving. Why? Well Germany now wants change because if they don't change what Germany drove two years ago their government will fall. Italy wants change because their government might collapse the Euro if pushed hard enough.
The UK? U turn if you want to but this EU is not turning....
If the man thinks he made any friends in the UK with these remarks he either knows nothing about UK politics or he's a cretin.
