[William Treseder]

Tedn't law. Tedn't right. Tedn't just. Tedn't sense. Tedn't friendly.

Drinking again ?

Drinking again ?

I just like the quote.

Although I do actually agree with the point you are making. The UK government has hardly covered itself in glory in its... strategy for Brexit but the zeal with which the EU has attacked the notion of leaving rather highlights one of the reasons people actually wanted out in the first place. If the EU institutions really did consider national governments to be sovereign they have been pretty negligent in constructing the EU as it stands today, where extraction is impossible to navigate and very little assistance given (in fact the opposite).

Can you give examples of this zeal? In my view the EU have been very prosaic and consistent in their position
