/ 10th anniversary of Brexit
Britain’s heart was never in this “European project”. For decades its politicians ridiculed, undermined and blackmailed their way from summit to summit, treating EU membership as a favour granted to Europeans.
Then, Britain voted to leave. This was unbelievably stupid, especially since it happened on the basis of lies and manipulation.
But imagine a European summit with Nigel Farage at the table. The EU is too important to leave to self-delusional British saboteurs.
The Guardian: Joris Luyendijk, “‘I remember the shock’, ‘It can still be reversed’ – what do Europeans think of Brexit now?”
Also worth reading is “From bendy bananas to £350m for the NHS – how many Brexit promises actually came true?”.
