Regardless of all this talk right now , the uk is Americas closest ally. If the Brits were to deny the US access to airstrips in Cyprus and all the listening data being collected, they may just change their approach.

you really are a baby and clueless. in the 60s harold wilson wanted to shut the bases down because britain could not afford them and america convinced him to keep them.

Boris Johnson warns Trump US must compromise to get UK trade deal

It’s only getting stronger and stronger and you know why?

Because you people are insufferable idiots to the masses who are getting pushed towards the Holy Trilogy more and more!

I think you are missing the point. If Tusk gives into what the UK wants, pretty soon the remaining 27 would be tempted to leave also and expect to get the same deal as the UK. It is a slippery road to disaster for the EU, which is why Tusk would rather lose some now than lose much much more later. It has nothing to do about being revengeful to the UK. He wants to safeguard the EU and not the UK. U.K. wants to leave, they should have left long time ago already, instead they are sticking around like a bad rash. Poor planning by the UK on Brexit from the beginning with the referendum does not now necessitate emergency on the part of the EU.

Thank you!

You have very eloquently made the point we Brexiteers have been making for years.

The EU is only interested in the EU. It doesn't care about its citizens, they are just the source of the taxes that fund the EU's vanity projects and pay their wages and pensions.

The EU doesn't care if we have to pay more for the food we eat, just as long as the project stays intact...

They don't want a FTA with the UK even though it will damage European industries...

It is all about the EU Project.

Heaven help them if the UK leaves and makes a success of it - all the other members will be asking, "why the hell are we financing this boondoggle?"

Good. The EU needs to give up its ambition of becoming a federal super-state and return to being a trading bloc as originally intended.

Why not go back to the early 20th century?

Nice try, but it won't wash, because you can't separate EU citizens from the EU and vice versa. Each member state joined the EU voluntarily and likewise can leave voluntarily, however, it has rules, benefits and cost as any club does, and if a member wants to leave but only wants the benefits and not the rules and cost, then that member shouldn't expect to be treated better that current members. Hardly surprising, no?

Of course you can and that is one of the key problems with the EU...

Europe is a number of separate sovereign countries that joined a trading bloc.

The EU wants a federal superstate with Brussels controlling everything.

I suspect European Citizens are more closely aligned with the first than the second.

As you said yourself: -

If Tusk gives into what the UK wants, pretty soon the remaining 27 would be tempted to leave also and expect to get the same deal as the UK.

Why would that be if the citizens of Europe wanted what the EU wants...?

You can get your 21st century ideas and shove them up where the sun don't shone yero!

The day will dawn where human kind will need to reset its compass to the way things were and away from where things are headed.

General, I seem to recall a few years back you wrote that 3rd ww isn't that bad !!
You are a first class, or rather I should say
An economy class waiter !! A stupid one at that !! If the UK does come out of the EU , 5 years down the road and the little Englanders will be told by Fuckrage and the Clown as well as the the Daily Expressshit that the reason they are starving is because the EU is asphixiating our economy and we must ....fight the fucking foreigners, teach them a bloody good lesson. Rule Britania..

Do you really believe that Washington DC controls all 50 states in the Federal USA? If you think that is the case, then you would be wrong. Brussels would be no different with the EU.

Anyway, I don't even know why we are having this conversation since the Brexiteers believe the UK can do much better outside the EU, so why is the UK still pushing for a deal with the EU. Be gone already (Uk).
