and the likely wad of Rothschild/Soros money you likely rode in on.

Both the EU and *slam make it very difficult to leave the fold. East Germany had a wall to keep people in. How many more would leave if it weren’t made so difficult?!

““I am very concerned about how little time we have,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told the French business newspaper Les Echos. “It seems to me that, on both sides, we should seriously consider whether the negotiations are feasible in such a short time.” […]”

They had three years. Now they are worried about time?

Boris Johnson would be more than happy to do a no-deal Brexit.

I guess the EU is like the Hotel California, you can checkout but you can never leave.

End of 2020 is already a delay.

This again? A no-deal Brexit is still an option, and if it happens it won’t be the end of negotiations, it will be the beginning under new terms. Anyone who pretends to be alarmed by the sudden urgency of the thing is joking or has been living in a cave for the last three years.

Gee, who could have seen this coming?

We all know that this globalist crap is never going to stop, or even slow down, until a few big players are either incarcerated or swinging from lamp posts. We also know neither of those things is going to happen.

Denver then asked San Francisco if they would agree to play another quarter, just because it was imprudent to rush things.

“The EU is like a roach motel.”

More like Bates Motel.

Get out while you still can. Negotiate from the outside.

She displays a great degree of incompetence when she acts like this is all a surprise.

My first thought as well. Three years of their E-Effing-U bureaucracy ignoring the will of Great Britain and only now is there so little time to negotiate a rearranging of trade terms.

GB is going to be the 🇺🇸 power broker for all trade into Europe and will eat the ECB's lunch as they flit and flutter about saying "How dare you!"

She is the former pinko “defense” minister of Germany. Makes Merkel look like Trump. Very bad news to have her in this important EU post.

They want to run out the clock until a new UK election.

An aside: I noticed the non biased objectivity of the Ass. Press article.

As well took note of this “...British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has insisted he would not agree to any delays.”

Boris Johnson could extend his middle finger as response, however I feel certain he has much more class than to do such a thing.
