President Jean-Claude Juncker of the European Commission has told British Prime Minister Theresa May that her 27 European Union partner countries will not renegotiate their agreement on Britain's exit from the EU.
Calling it "a carefully balanced compromise", Juncker spokesman Margaritis Schinas said that May "raised various options" for getting around the main sticking point in the Brexit negotiations, the backstop arrangement to avoid checks on the Irish border. May and Juncker are due to meet again ...

In one of his videos he observed that "the European Union is very popular with politicians because it's been very *good* to politicians".
And that's the problem...the movers and shakers in Brussels are scared silly because they see the EU slowly unraveling and they don't want to lose their Mercedes limos,their smoked salmon luncheons or their villas on the Italian Riviera...so they'll do *anything* to keep Britain from leaving or,failing that,they'll do anything to *punish* Britain as a warning to other members.
It pretty much done....zero agreement will occur.
So I’ll predict the next couple of sequences. The UK will start a delay tactic so when 29 March comes...they will be in a 30 to 60 day stall episode. With the EU election in May, it’s going to end up being the number one topic of the election (unfortunately for the EU).
One might suspect that Hungary, Poland, Austria and Czech will quickly line up on final BREXIT day, and start their own trade agreements. The EU will get puffy and tell them to back off....but the four will point out that in their Constitutions...it says they still have control of trade. Norway and the Netherlands will come around to this shortly as well.
And then the US will arrive. It won’t surprise me if Trump takes the USMCA (trade treaty replacing NAFTA), evolves it, and flips it to USUKMCA, and makes them an equal partner.
Watching this you can see clearly the genesis for both world wars. Europe is full of arrogant and sadistic people. They want to see UK suffer.
Bingo!
Just like those that want to gain power by controlling the economy and having first dibs on that cash market socialism as a benefit to the useful idiot masses.
I am sure that Britain joined the EU, way back then, to simply have power in Trade. They did not join the EU to have some other group Sovereign over them in every other aspect of their Governance. Such as ‘Refugee Requirement numbers’. May should have NEVER AGREED in the first place to the Brexit demands of Juncker. Britain wants Governance over itself again and YES the EU will punish them in every way possible. The EU was the start of real Globlism and the Globalists will not easily give up the power they have achieved.
I like the way you think. Add to that, PDJT would do the same for Hungary, Poland, Austria, Czech and any other country that decides to abandon the EU.
The EU was a failure from the beginning, as is the WTO. President Trump is setting the table masterfully for the end of both.
We are going to THANKFULLY return to the days where countries negotiate their own trade rules with each other and get rid of this "world governance" bullshit.
Thank you President Trump!
Which the UK has never accepted, and which the EU has never had any power to enforce, since the UK has never been in the Schengen area, and thus controls its own borders. Hence the 'jungle' camps at Calais etc, of 'migrants' who have made it through the Schengen EU countries but who can't get through the UK border.
It was originally Churchill’s baby, but he quickly walked away from it, at a festival celebrating the idea of one Europe, no less, back in 1951, I believe. The potential ramifications, and popular resistance to it in England, did not escape him for long. It is now up to May to somehow make Brexit happen, and she’s already put her foot into it with a bad exit agreement. I don’t envy her.
Screw You, EU!
The U.K. should suspend purchasing German cars indefinitely.
When Britain joined the EU it did not fully trust the body. That is why they kept the Pound as their currency.
YES! Always knew that was a good move!
Whether or not they accepted the refugee resettlement numbers, London is overwhelmed by the numbers of refugees and the growth of the families. The last time I was over (just a year ago), the ‘tone’ of London was certainly different from a decade ago. Doesn’t feel nearly as ‘safe’ as it felt, even just 2 years ago.
“Europe is full of arrogant and sadistic people.”
The politicians or the people?
That may be so, but if it’s so it’s entirely the responsibility of successive UK governments, who alone have controlled (or not controlled) immigration from anywhere outside the EU. It’s nothing to do with the EU, which is the subject of this article.
Good for the UK. But Mohammed is still the most common boys’ name, despite the channel separating you from the mainland.
So, you don’t think the Brexit vote, directly after the EU ordered Britain to start admitting thousands more refugees, was in response to that EU order? I always figured it was in response, especially when our President (at the time) loudly supported Remain. I also believe most of the Remainers were too young to remember when Britain was totally sovereign, or they just enjoyed the benefit of easy travels and foreign working ability. The Remainers, that is. Also the Globalsts are Remainers, supportive of One World. If there was another vote, do you think the Remainers would win?
