Britain leaving the EU means trouble ahead for Germany — and its hardest task will be convincing the Brits to drop a self-defeating ideology, a leading foreign policy expert told The Local.

German business has a lot of vested interest in British markets, explains Josef Janning, head of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) in Berlin.

And that means Germany will have its work cut out negotiating a settlement which gives Britain access to the single market after it leaves the European Union. […]

Being integrated into the single market will mean the UK will have to “swallow the fact that they will have to rubber stamp Brussels legislation” rather than gain the independence promised to them by the Leave campaign. …

History says Germany is an unstable country. Well that and BMW's do.

What is Germany going to do? Are they going to invade them?

All Britain would have to do is to hold out until half-past teatime. Then, the German troops would be in 'overtime' status, and would have to withdraw (no overtime allowed for the Bundeswehr...)

Didn’t the Germans try this with a muscular PR campaign called “the blitz?”

Those stiff-necked Brits weren’t buying in then either.
