My own view… is that the United Kingdom will have to sort of architect a sort of rapprochement, or re-entry into the European Union in one shape or form
Do you agree with him?
Clearly UK should rejoin but the EU is not in any way on a “brink of collapse”.
He claims EU went worse since Brexshit and the UK must rejoin to somehow “save” the EU which is a ridiculous claim. British exceptionalism at its finest.
I’m not sure if he’s claiming that Brexit is the reason for EU troubles, but I dunno because I haven’t listened to the full interview (which is here, but I think you need to be in the UK to listen to it)
Maybe he’s referring to the political troubles in Germany and France - the governments of both countries have collapsed recently
Le Non
Of all the reasons to rejoin the EU, saying it’s about to collapse unless the UK somehow swoops in to aid a bunch of unpopular right wing governments (which is basically the same state the UK is in already) isn’t going to mesh well with people who voted leave on the idea that the UK was artificially propping up the EU.
Fuck’s sake, just admit Brexit was a colossal fuckup and that it fucked the country over and we need to rejoin to save our own arses. They don’t need this shitfest country.
Nick, I agree with you, but I don’t need you on my side.
