German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Tuesday that the EU could survive a Brexit and warned Britain the union would not tolerate “cherry-picking” in upcoming negotiations on their future relations.

“The EU is strong enough to withstand Britain’s withdrawal,” she told the German parliament ahead of a crisis summit of the 28 member states in Brussels. […]

“We will ensure there are no negotiations based on the principle of cherry-picking,” she said to applause. “There must be and will be a noticeable difference between whether a country wants to be a member of the European Union family or not.”

It would be a tough pill to swallow, but Britain should stop all trade with the EU, and wait for them to come begging, hat in hand.

Angela, they say you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

But some, like yourself, say shit attracts more than either.

I’m sure another country would pick up some of the slack and trade with Britain.

The true nature of the EU is being exposed.

Also, note the recent Left narrative, that the Brexit voters were deceived and regret their vote.

The Left never admits defeat.

Germany loses as they export way more to the UK than they import.

The UK should immediately start increasing trade to Russia.

Why are Germans still putting up with this Stasi hag?

Dump her. She’s a traitorous running dog for the EU and Muslims.

What Napoleon attempted 200 years ago, and Germany in the mid 20th century, Merkel is attempting now.

That swings both ways. The EU and Germany can’t cherry pick terms either.

If it were up to me, I’d have the Royal Marines occupy the Berlaymont Building. Don’t know how navigable the Zenne river is, but I’d send some sort of vessels from the Royal Navy there too.

HAHAHA... OR THE GERMAN EQUIVALENT.

Being independent mean Britain can cherry pick everything.

Socialists suck at trade
