French Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire said Friday that Brexit advocates must choose between accepting the deal negotiated by London and Brussels for leaving the EU or risk “economic disaster” and blasted “a number of lying politicians in Britain”.
“The choice now faced by British political leaders who have advocated Brexit is to renounce their absurd political promise or face economic disaster, with the British people the main victims,” Le Maire said at a Paris forum on reforming the World Trade Organization.
“What does Brexit demonstrate? It shows that leaving the common European market has an exorbitant economic cost,” he said.
“There are a number of lying and irresponsible politicians in Britain who told the British people that Brexit would turn out to be a golden tomorrow,” he added.
Le Maire’s comments came as British Prime Minister Theresa May battles to salvage her draft Brexit deal and her own political future. …

I’d tell him to frick off and look at joining a free trade union with the US.
Lemming, march off the cliffs or you will die...
And people laughed at me when I said you Cant rule out another European war.
Well, they laugh at me for lots of reasons but that’s just one :)
not saying it will happen or even will happen soon but the tension is there.
Of course there’s the 10 percent muslim factor that would play a role now
i’d assume Germany would pay muslims in Britain to cause terrorist activity
That’s not very neighborly.
Britain needs a Trump.
It was the British (and colonies) that fought on alone for over a year against the Hun while you f’in’ gorfs quickly raised the white flag and surrendered! With the Yanks into the fray after Pearl Harbour, it was the Allies, primarily the English speaking peoples, who saved your sorry asses!
You want to surrender again, this time to the mohamedans and their Eurabia? Go ahead! While there is still a remnant remaining of the British Lion, they WILL Brexit AND succeed! Now, go f-yourself, you commie weasel, Le Maire!
At least the Europeans have proved that they can have a serious conflict among themselves without killing millions of people, as in past centuries.
But they haven’t yet proved that they can resolve conflicts like Brexit in a reasonable period of time so they don’t drag on for years on end and make a mess out of everything.
Why can’t the British just leave Europe? They left India. They left Africa. Just do it.
Actually, it’s thanks to the USA that no such conflict has happened. Let them have a EU-wide military and guess what happens to those who dissent.
Leaving this “empire” as Le Maire (and Barroso, 11 years ago) calls it is a different kettle of fish. This empire is controlled by someone else and not Britain itself.
Hitler threatened Britain also.
Don’t worry, the French will surrender before the first shot is fired.
The EU: such a good deal you’ll accept it, or else.
Britain has paid the cowardly French in blood many times. Maybe they need to remember that and why they still have a country.
well said
We know that the communists and fascists became the globalists, so it shouldn’t surprise us that they are using the same tools as Hitler
Nuts!
Ah yes. Threats from the Yurps. Brilliant strategy. Its worked out so well for them in the past when they’ve issued threats to try to get the Brits to cave in.
